Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra S1 Max[1]Sovol SV06 Plus[2]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)Listed on the Anycubic store from 16 January 2026 (Shopify publish date)[3]Not documented
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$699.00 with a US plug on store.anycubic.com, Aug 2026, against a compare-at price of $899.00 ($804.00 for the EU plug variant)[3]Not documented
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)The large enclosed Anycubic. Against the Kobra S1: 350 mm cube against 250 (Anycubic claims 174% more volume), 350 C hardened-steel nozzle against 320 C, 65 C active chamber heating that the S1 lacks entirely, a titanium-alloy throat tube and hardened-steel extruder gears, an activated carbon filter, 720p camera against 480p, and 25.7 kg against 9.37 kg. Its engineering-filament list is correspondingly longer[1][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Market position: superseded?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 usable350 x 350 x 350 mm[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)502.7 x 483 x 584 mm[1]Not documented
Net weight (kg)25.7 kg net, 31 kg packaged[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/lidFully enclosed CoreXY with 65 C active chamber heating, dual external-circulation cooling fans and an activated carbon filter, plus a temperature and moisture display[1]Open frame, no enclosure[2]
Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred)65 C active chamber heating (manufacturer figure, actively heated rather than passive)[1]Not documented
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)CoreXY (stated outright in Anycubic's specification table)[1]Cartesian i3 bedslinger[2]
Speed & Acceleration

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[1]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameDirect drive ("short distance extrusion") with hardened-steel extruder gears, which Anycubic rates at six times the life of brass on carbon-fibre filament[1]Direct-drive extruder, single[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Quick-release hotend with a titanium-alloy throat tube; 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm nozzles supplied, 0.25 and 0.8 mm optional; hardened steel[1]Not documented
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)350 C maximum nozzle temperature[1]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit120 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[1]Not documented
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Filament detection with auto resume, entanglement detection and power-loss resume[1]Not documented
Multi-material/multi-color capability or official upgrade pathUp to 16-colour printing with ACE 2 Pro units, sold separately[1]Not documented
Cooling & Air Handling
Chamber/exhaust fan & filtration (activated carbon / HEPA)Activated carbon filter for odour removal; dual external-circulation cooling fans[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Kobra OS with pressure advance and flow calibration supported[1]Not documented
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen[1]Not documented
On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.)Touchscreen plus slicing software, Anycubic app and U-disk; AI spaghetti detection using an in-house algorithm and the 720p camera[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drivePrinter UI, slicing software, Anycubic app and U-disk[1]USB connection and mini-SD card[2]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)Standard HD camera, 720p, used for real-time AI anomaly detection[1]Not documented
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printShips 95% pre-assembled; Anycubic claims unbox to print in 10 minutes[1]Not documented
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listConsumer grades: PLA, PETG, TPU (95A), TPU for ACE, PET, PLA-CF, PETG-CF, PVA. Engineering grades: ABS, ASA, PC, PA, PA6-CF, PC-CF/GF, PET-CF[1]1.75 mm filament; no per-material list published on the listing[2]
Noise & Power Consumption
Noise: claimed dB and independently measured dB (distance/method)48 dB or less in standard mode, as low as 45 dB in quiet mode - manufacturer figures with no distance or method stated[1]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]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.
