The Kobra 3 V2 Combo is now available for purchase at a noteworthy launch discount. It’s a 3D printer for multicolor prints that doesn’t require users to manually swap filaments.
Anycubic is now accepting preorders for the new Kobra 3 V2 Combo. Early adopters can benefit from a lower launch price. The four-color model is priced at $379, while the eight-color variant costs $638. Alternatively, the regular Kobra 3 V2 Combo without multicolor printing has a price tag of $249. Shipping times for US customers vary between mid-June and early July.
The printer has a print volume of 255 x 255 x 260 millimeters, is suitable for beginners and should be ready to go in just 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the built-in HD camera can record video but also detect printing errors, such as when the filament strings or oozes. The hotend is reportedly made of metal and can be changed with a quick release without a screwdriver. The nozzle can be heated up to 300 °C and the print bed to 110 °C. If the filament runs out, printing can be resumed afterwards.
Auto-leveling, automatic extrusion calibration and integrated vibration compensation should help with decent print quality. The same could apply to the active drying of the filaments in the corresponding boxes. The new Kobra 3D printer can be controlled via a smartphone app or the integrated touchscreen.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
