Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 2 Plus[1]ANYCUBIC Photon Mono M7 Pro[2][3]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)Listed on the Anycubic store from 31 August 2023 (Shopify publish date)[1]Not documented
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$549.00 on store.anycubic.com, Aug 2026 (the compare-at price of $544.00 is lower than the sale price, which is a store data error rather than a discount)[1]$562.00 on store.anycubic.com against a $769.00 compare-at price, in stock, checked Aug 2026. A Wash & Cure 3 Plus bundle is $745.00; resin quantity and plug type are separate options that change the total[2]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Large Kobra 2. Against the small Kobra 2 machines: 320 x 320 x 400 mm build, 13 kg, dual-motor dual Z, 49-point LeviQ 2.0, 8 GB on-board storage and Anycubic APP support - but the bed ceiling drops from 110 C to 90 C, which matters for ABS and ASA. Anycubic's own comparison on the same page is against the older Kobra Plus (350 x 200 x 200 mm, Bowden, 180 mm/s), not against the Kobra 2[1][4][5]Shares the 223 x 126 x 230 mm envelope and 10.1-inch 14K LCD with the plain Photon Mono M7 but is a different machine: LighTurbo 3.0 (COB + Fresnel), a dynamically temperature-controlled vat with a peristaltic pump and heater, auto resin refill and withdrawal, and 170 mm/h against the M7's 150. Pixel counts are also published inconsistently — Anycubic's store says 13,320 x 5,120 while 3DJake's table says 13,312 x 5,120. Bundle SKUs at the same store are not printer-only prices[2][6][3]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable400 x 320 x 320 mm stated HWD, i.e. 320 x 320 x 400 mm; Anycubic quotes 40.9 L[1]223 x 126 x 230 mm[2][3]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)630 x 605 x 564 mm stated HWD - footprint about 605 x 564 mm[1]312 x 315 x 520 mm[3]
Net weight (kg)13 kg[1]12.8 kg[3]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidOpen frame, no enclosure[1]Open-frame MSLA with a UV-blocking cover[2]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Cartesian bed-slinger with double metal spindles on X and Y and included belt tensioners[1]MSLA, single Z axis, straight-lift peel[2]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual-motor dual Z axis[1]Not documented
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)500 mm/s maximum print speed (Anycubic Lab figure)[1]Not documented
Recommended/typical print speed300 mm/s typical print speed (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Vibration Compensation / Input Shaping
Input shaping supported? Implementation (Klipper IS / Marlin ZV / proprietary)One-click vibration compensation on X/Y plus flow control[1]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameDirect extruder with double gears[1]Not documented
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
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit90 C hotbed temperature ceiling - lower than the 110 C of the small Kobra 2 machines[1][4]Not documented
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedPEI magnetic spring steel plate, 320 x 320 mm[1]Not documented
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Anycubic LeviQ 2.0 automatic levelling, 49-point, with smart Z-offset[1]Levelling-free[2][3]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Filament detection fitted as default[1]Not documented
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxCortex-A7 1.2 GHz processor; 8 GB built-in storage[1]Not documented
Connectivity, UI & Camera
On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.)Anycubic app support (firmware 3.0.5+) for remote monitoring, online slicing and control[1]Not documented
Camera features: live monitor, timelapse, AI failure detection (spaghetti detection) — how real is it?Not documentedFailed-print detection, film-lifespan tracking and resin-residue detection[2][3]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[4]Not documented
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]1 year on Anycubic 3D printers[2]
Independently Measured Performance
Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers)Not documentedTolerance +/-0.01 to 0.05 mm — a manufacturer specification, not an independent measurement[2][3]
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCDNot documented10.1-inch monochrome masking LCD at 14K, XY pixel pitch 16.8 x 24.8 um. Pixel count published as 13,320 x 5,120 by Anycubic and 13,312 x 5,120 by 3DJake[2][3]
Light sourceNot documentedLighTurbo 3.0 — COB light source with a Fresnel lens[2][3]
Light uniformity & intensityNot documentedOn-screen uniformity >90% (manufacturer claim; Anycubic writes >=90%, 3DJake >90%). No intensity figure published for this model and no independent measurement[2][3]
Vertical print speedmm/hNot documented170 mm/h with high-speed resin at 0.1 mm layer height; 130 mm/h with standard resin at the same layer height (manufacturer claims)[2][3]
Release filmNot documentedACF film, rated at approximately 45,000 uses. The machine tracks film lifespan itself[3][2]
Resin vat & feedingNot documentedResin vat with dynamic temperature control driven by a peristaltic pump and heater, plus an automatic resin management system with auto-fill and withdrawal and resin level detection. Anycubic does not publish the vat capacity or the heater setpoint[2][3]
Fume extractionNot documentedNone fitted as standard. Anycubic offers the separately sold AirPure air purifier, which it says filters up to 99% of VOCs[3]

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.
