Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo - the Kobra 3 sold together with the ACE Pro filament unit[1]Sovol SV06 Plus[2]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)Listed on the Anycubic store from 30 April 2024 (Shopify publish date)[3]Not documented
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$329.00 with a US plug on store.anycubic.com, Aug 2026 ($355.00 for the EU plug variant)[3]Not documented
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Two things to watch here. First, the Combo is printer plus ACE Pro; the ACE Pro alone weighs 4.6 kg and measures 366 x 283 x 235 mm, so plan bench space for both. Second, Anycubic's own specification table on this page mixes generations - the weight row reads "Kobra 3 V2 - 9.2kg" while the package row reads "Kobra 3 - 12kg", and a separate Kobra 3 V2 Combo product is listed at the same price. Treat any single figure from this page as needing confirmation against the exact SKU[1][3][4]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][5]
Market position: superseded?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[6][2]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable250 x 250 x 260 mm; Anycubic quotes a 16.25 L maximum printing volume[1]300 x 300 x 340 mm advertised (note: the ACE version is 350 mm in Z)[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)452.9 x 504.7 x 483 mm for the printer; the ACE Pro is a separate 365.94 x 282.84 x 234.5 mm box[1]Not documented
Net weight (kg)Anycubic's table gives "Kobra 3 V2 - 9.2kg" for the machine weight and "Kobra 3 - 12kg" for the package weight, plus 4.6 kg for the ACE Pro - the two rows do not refer to the same thing, so treat 9.2 kg as the machine and 12 kg as shipping weight[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)Anycubic's specification table gives the construction as "Gantry System" - it is a bed-slinger, not the CoreXY layout used by the Kobra S1 series[1][7]Cartesian i3 bedslinger[2]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)600 mm/s maximum print speed (manufacturer claim), with 300 mm/s recommended[1]Not documented
Recommended/typical print speed300 mm/s recommended print speed (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)20000 mm/s2 maximum acceleration, 10000 mm/s2 recommended (manufacturer claims)[1]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameDirect drive (Anycubic's term is "short distance extrusion")[1]Direct-drive extruder, single[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)300 C quick-release hotend; 0.4 mm standard nozzle, expandable to 0.6 and 0.8 mm[1]Not documented
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)300 C maximum nozzle temperature (manufacturer figure)[1]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit110 C maximum hotbed temperature on a PEI spring steel build plate[1]Not documented
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)LeviQ 3.0 auto-levelling with Z-offset, plus area levelling[1]Not documented
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Filament detection with auto resume, filament entanglement detection, nozzle clog detection and power-loss resume[1]Not documented
Multi-material/multi-color capability or official upgrade path4-colour printing with one ACE Pro, or up to 8 colours with two units[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Kobra OS. Anycubic's slicer, Anycubic Slicer Next, is stated to be built on the open-source Orca slicer[1]Not documented
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 30-60 degree adjustable tilt[1]Not documented
On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.)Touchscreen plus Anycubic Slicer Next, the Anycubic app and USB (print only); AI spaghetti detection and object skip are supported[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drivePrinter UI, slicing software, Anycubic app and USB drive (print only)[1]USB connection and mini-SD card[2]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)Camera is optional on the Kobra 3 - a 720p HD unit, not fitted as standard, unlike the Kobra S1, Kobra 4 and Kobra X[1][7][8]Not documented
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, PETG and TPU, and Anycubic notes TPU is not compatible with the ACE Pro multi-material unit[1]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[9]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.
