Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo[1]Sovol SV06 Plus[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]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][5]Not documented
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][6]Larger sibling of the SV06 (220x220x250). Distinct from the SV06 Plus ACE, which is 300x300x350 mm, runs Klipper on an RK3308, adds a 4.3-inch touchscreen, camera and ceramic hotend. The 340 mm vs 350 mm Z figure is the cleanest way to tell the two apart in a spec box[2][7]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?Not documentedDelisted by Sovol; the current collection carries the SV06 Plus ACE instead. 3DJake shows it sold out and no longer stocked[8][2]
Physical & Frame

Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)485 x 440 x 440 mm stated HWD - footprint about 440 x 440 mm[1]Not documented
Net weight (kg)7.3 kg[1]Not documented
Frame construction & materialNot documentedOpen frame with linear-rail motion, supplied as an assembly kit. One 3DJake purchaser reports construction defects and linear-axis stability problems[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]Not documented
Recommended/typical print speed150 mm/s recommended print speed (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameIntegrated direct extruder[1]Direct-drive extruder, single[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]Not documented
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]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]Not documented
Cooling & Air Handling
Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting design7000 rpm cooling fan (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
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]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]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveNot documentedUSB connection and mini-SD card[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
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[5]1.75 mm filament; no per-material list published on the listing[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.
