Model, variants & pricing4 fields
| Property and unit | Published value and conditions | Sources and dates |
|---|---|---|
| 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 source
|
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Listed on the Anycubic store from 30 April 2024 (Shopify publish date) | 1 source |
| 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) | 1 source |
| 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 | 3 sources

Size, frame & enclosure4 fields
| Property and unit | Published value and conditions | Sources and dates |
|---|---|---|
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 250 x 250 x 260 mm; Anycubic quotes a 16.25 L maximum printing volume | 1 source

| 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 source
|
| 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 source

Error 11511: inspect the complete feed path
For extrusion-abnormality code 11511, the official procedure checks the ACE filament supply, PTFE path, hub and extruder rather than assuming a nozzle clog. Use the checks in order to locate where filament stops moving.
Applies to: Kobra 3/Combo with ACE Pro; code-specific troubleshooting, not evidence of a failure rate.

Top-beam single-spool holder
This holder relocates an external spool from behind the printer to its top beam when rear clearance is limited. The creator revised the mount after an earlier version could contact the extruder motor at the top of travel.
Applies to: Kobra 3; choose version 2 and check full Z travel. This is an external single-spool holder, not an ACE Pro mount.

Five-port hub for external-spool/ACE switching
This replacement hub keeps the four ACE Pro tubes and external-spool tube connected, reducing tube changes when switching feed sources. Choose the standard V2 or PC4-M6 fitting version; the creator supplies inverted files for the Kobra 3 Max.
Applies to: Kobra 3, Kobra 3 Max and Kobra S1 Combo are explicitly named; Max needs the inverted geometry. This is not an automatic fifth-color upgrade.

Rinkhals access to the stock Klipper environment
For owners who need configuration access and local frontends, Rinkhals adds SSH, Moonraker and Mainsail/Fluidd while retaining the Kobra 3 Combo stock interface and calibration workflow. Follow the model-specific package and recovery instructions.
Applies to: Use the Kobra 3 package and a stock version in the tested matrix; this is a layer on Kobra OS, not a generic Klipper image.

How to read this guide
This guide presents the catalog’s sourced record for this exact model. Source dates belong to each reference; a page update does not mean every specification has been rechecked.
Prices are dated listing snapshots, with configuration, regional and sale conditions. They are not current offers. Unknown values remain unfilled.
Firmware, variants and available accessories can change. Read the original reference before making a purchase or planning a process.

Ownership research & coverage
Firmware, modifications and troubleshooting links are checked against the model and stated hardware or firmware revision. A creator’s compatibility claim is not a fit test by this site. Official troubleshooting describes a diagnostic route; individual reports do not establish a failure rate.
This review did not verify hardware upgrades for this exact model. That is a research gap, not a claim that none exist.
