Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 2 Plus[1]Roboze ARGO 350 3D Printer[2]
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]Not documented
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][3][4]Single-extruder machine; the ARGO 500 is dual-extruder with a 500 mm cube, an 11-inch screen and 1700 kg. Both quote a 450 °C nozzle and a 180 °C chamber, so temperature figures will not tell them apart — extruder count, build size and weight will. Pricing note: Not published. Top 3D Shop lists the machine as available on backorder with a 3-5 week lead time but requires a quote request rather than showing a price, checked Aug 2026[2][5]
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]350 x 300 x 300 mm[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)630 x 605 x 564 mm stated HWD - footprint about 605 x 564 mm[1]1130 x 1150 x 2000 mm[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]CoreXY[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]Single extruder, 1.75 mm filament[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]450 °C maximum nozzle temperature (manufacturer specification)[2]
Stock nozzle size & sizes included in boxNot documented0.4 mm[2]
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][3]Not documented
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedPEI magnetic spring steel plate, 320 x 320 mm[1]Removable polymer build sheets held by vacuum[2]
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]Not documented
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
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedProprietary; the recommended software is Roboze Prometheus[2]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?Not documented7-inch colour touchscreen[2]
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
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveNot documentedUSB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi[2]

Officially supported filament listPLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[3]PEEK, Carbon PEEK, Carbon PA, ULTEM AM9085F, PC, Functional-nylon, ABS-ESD, PP, Flex-TPU, Strong-ABS, Ultra-PLA and others[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[6]Not documented
Independently Measured Performance
Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers)Not documentedXY accuracy 0.01 mm, Z accuracy 0.025 mm (manufacturer specification, not an independent measurement)[2]

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.
