Description
The Anycubic Kobra 2 Plus is a large-format open-frame FDM printer (a bedslinger) released in 2023. It's aimed at anyone who needs a big build area and high speed without jumping to a premium machine: a good fit for confident beginners and experienced users printing functional parts and large models.
The build volume is 320×320×400 mm (about 41 liters), with print speeds up to 500 mm/s at a typical 300 mm/s and acceleration up to 10,000 mm/s². The dual-gear direct-drive extruder with a replaceable 0.4 mm nozzle reaches 260 °C, and the PEI spring-steel heated bed goes up to 90 °C, covering PLA, PETG, TPU and ABS. A dual-motor, dual-leadscrew Z axis stabilizes the tall gantry, LeviQ 2.0 auto leveling builds a 49-point mesh, and you control it via a 4.3-inch touchscreen and the Anycubic app over Wi-Fi.
Pros
- Large 320×320×400 mm build area — print big models in one piece, no slicing into parts
- High speed up to 500 mm/s with vibration compensation noticeably cuts print time on large models
- Dual-gear direct drive handles flexible TPU and standard filaments reliably
- LeviQ 2.0 49-point auto leveling with smart Z-offset — easy start with no manual bed tramming
- PEI spring-steel bed plus filament runout sensor and power-loss recovery
- Convenient out of the box: quick assembly, a 4.3" touchscreen and app control over Wi-Fi
Cons
- Noisy fans: at default speed the printer is clearly audible — it's not a quiet machine
- For clean detail you have to drop speed and acceleration by 30–40%
- Cloud printing and remote monitoring are unreliable, and there is no bundled webcam
- The open frame doesn't retain chamber heat — ABS and ASA tend to warp on large parts
The Kobra 2 Plus suits anyone who needs a big, fast printer for home or a workshop: cosplay, large enclosures and brackets, prototypes and small batches of parts. It's a sensible pick for a user who has outgrown compact bedslingers and wants more volume for moderate money.
Bottom line: a roomy, fast bedslinger with a solid set of convenience features and some trade-offs in noise and maintenance. The model is discontinued, but it remains a workable option for large-format printing.
