| Brand | Anycubic | Anycubic |
| Class | BEDSLINGER | BEDSLINGER |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo[1] | Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro[2] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Listed on the Anycubic store from 31 August 2023 (Shopify publish date), the same day as the Kobra 2 Plus and Kobra 2 Max[1][3][4] | Listed on the Anycubic store from 2 February 2026 (Shopify publish date for this listing; the model itself is older)[2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $249.00 on store.anycubic.com, Aug 2026 - higher than the better-specified Kobra 2 at $169 on the same day, which is a listing quirk rather than a positioning statement[1][5] | $309.00 on store.anycubic.com, Aug 2026, with the compare-at price also $309.00[2] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Lowest model of the Kobra 2 family. Same 220 x 220 x 250 mm build volume as the Kobra 2 and Kobra 2 Pro but the slowest of the three (250 mm/s max, 150 mm/s typical against 300/200 and 500/300), and the only one with a 2.4-inch knob-driven screen instead of a 4.3-inch touchscreen[1][5][2] | Same 220 x 220 x 250 mm build volume as the Kobra 2 and Kobra 2 Neo, but Anycubic's own comparison table puts it at 500 mm/s max and 300 mm/s typical against the Kobra 2's 300/200 - the build volume alone will not tell these three apart. It also adds Anycubic APP support, which the base Kobra 2 lacks[2][5][3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 250 x 220 x 220 mm stated HWD, i.e. 220 x 220 x 250 mm; 12.1 L[1] | 250 x 220 x 220 mm stated HWD, i.e. 220 x 220 x 250 mm; 12.1 L[2] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 485 x 440 x 440 mm stated HWD - footprint about 440 x 440 mm[1] | 486 x 435 x 463 mm stated HWD - footprint about 435 x 463 mm[2] |
| Net weight (kg) | 7.3 kg[1] | 8.4 kg[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame, no enclosure[1] | Open frame, no enclosure[2] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian bed-slinger with a gantry frame structure built from 5 modules[1] | Cartesian bed-slinger[2] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 250 mm/s maximum print speed (Anycubic Lab figure)[1] | 500 mm/s maximum print speed (Anycubic Lab figure)[2] |
| Recommended/typical print speed | 150 mm/s recommended print speed (manufacturer figure)[1] | 300 mm/s typical print speed (manufacturer figure)[2] |
| Vibration Compensation / Input Shaping | ||
| Input shaping supported? Implementation (Klipper IS / Marlin ZV / proprietary) | Not documented | One-click vibration compensation that detects X/Y resonance frequencies, plus flow control with retraction and refill compensation[2] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Integrated direct extruder[1] | Optimised direct extruder[2] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 260 C nozzle temperature ceiling; 0.4 mm replaceable nozzle[1] | 260 C nozzle temperature ceiling; 0.4 mm replaceable nozzle[2] |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | 60 W hot end (manufacturer figure)[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 110 C hotbed temperature ceiling[1] | Not documented |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Anycubic LeviQ 2.0 automatic levelling with intelligent Z-offset compensation[1] | Anycubic LeviQ 2.0 automatic levelling with smart Z-offset[2] |
| Cooling & Air Handling | ||
| Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting design | 7000 rpm cooling fan (manufacturer figure)[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Not documented | Cortex-A7 1.2 GHz application processor[2] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Marlin - Anycubic states it applies "linear propulsion and input shaping functions in Marlin firmware", which makes this one of the few Anycubic machines with a named firmware base rather than the later Kobra OS branding[1][6] | Not documented |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 2.4-inch LCD knob screen - not a touchscreen[1] | Not documented |
| On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.) | Knob-driven UI, redesigned by Anycubic for the Kobra 2 generation[1] | Supports the Anycubic app (firmware 3.0.5 or later) for online model search, real-time video supervision, online slicing and remote control[2] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Five modules with a gantry frame design, described by Anycubic as easy assembly and low maintenance[1] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[5] | PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[5] |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | One year on the complete machine (excluding gifted and second-hand machines), with component warranty periods that vary by part; the period starts on the delivery date and is suspended while a replacement is in transit. Anycubic states it will follow longer local statutory periods where they apply[7] | One year on the complete machine (excluding gifted and second-hand machines), with component warranty periods that vary by part; the period starts on the delivery date and is suspended while a replacement is in transit.

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
