Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo[1]Sovol SV06 Plus ACE 3D Printer[2][3]
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][4][5]Not documented
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][6]$299.00 on sovol3d.com against a $349.00 compare-at price, in stock and shipping from US/EU/CA/AU/UK/CN warehouses, checked Aug 2026[2][3]
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][6][7]Larger sibling of the SV06 ACE ($239, 220x220x250). Differs from the non-ACE SV06 Plus by Z height (350 vs 340 mm), Klipper on an RK3308, ceramic-plate hotend, 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen and a camera. Notably it has NO power-loss recovery, which the older SV06 did have[2][3][8]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable250 x 220 x 220 mm stated HWD, i.e. 220 x 220 x 250 mm; 12.1 L[1]300 x 300 x 350 mm advertised[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)485 x 440 x 440 mm stated HWD - footprint about 440 x 440 mm[1]510 x 575 x 710 mm including screen and filament holder[2]

Frame construction & materialNot documentedOpen i3-style frame; Sovol publishes no frame-material breakdown[2]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidOpen 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 i3 bedslinger[2]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)250 mm/s maximum print speed (Anycubic Lab figure)[1]500 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[2]
Recommended/typical print speed150 mm/s recommended print speed (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)Not documented15,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[2]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameIntegrated direct extruder[1]Planetary double-gear direct drive, 1:7.5 reduction[2]
Gear ratio & drive gear materialNot documented1:7.5[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Not documentedCeramic heating plate hotend; 0.4 mm nozzle included, 0.6 and 0.8 mm optional[2]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)260 C nozzle temperature ceiling; 0.4 mm replaceable nozzle[1]<=300 °C claimed[2]
Heater cartridge power (W)60 W hot end (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit110 C hotbed temperature ceiling[1]100 °C claimed[2]
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedNot documentedDouble-sided textured PEI plate[2]
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]Automatic levelling (Sovol calls the ACE upgrade an added automatic levelling function); probe technology not named on this page[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Not documentedFilament run-out sensor fitted; type and location not published[2]
Cooling & Air Handling
Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting design7000 rpm cooling fan (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxNot documentedRockchip RK3308 ("3308 chip"), 512 MB RAM, 8 GB eMMC[2]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)Not documented500 W / 24 V, 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz[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][9]Klipper. Sovol does not publish the fork or version on the product page. OTA updates supported[2]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?2.4-inch LCD knob screen - not a touchscreen[1]4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen[2]
On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.)Knob-driven UI, redesigned by Anycubic for the Kobra 2 generation[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveNot documentedWi-Fi 2.4 GHz only, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[2]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)Not documentedBuilt-in camera, default 640x480, maximum 1280x720 (Sovol writes it as 1080x720P)[2]
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printFive modules with a gantry frame design, described by Anycubic as easy assembly and low maintenance[1]Not documented
Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery
Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?)Not documentedNone. Sovol's own spec table states "Power Loss Recovery: None" for this model[2]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[6]PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA[2]
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[10]Not documented

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.
