Expected late 2026
A Kobra 4 Max with improved speed and possibly CoreXY motion is expected in late 2026.
The Anycubic Kobra 3 Max is a large-format bed-slinger with an impressive 420×420×500 mm build volume and 4-color ACE Pro multicolor support. Released 2024, it is one of the largest affordable multicolor printers available — trading speed (300 mm/s max) for exceptional print area.
One of the largest build volumes available at a consumer price — ideal for life-size props, large terrain tiles, and batch production.
Few printers offer multicolor at this scale. The ACE Pro system enables filament switching across the full 420×420 bed area.
Delivers large-format multicolor at a fraction of professional large-format printer costs.
Makers who need a very large print area for props, architectural models, or batch production — and want multicolor without paying professional-tier prices.
Only if you genuinely need the extra build volume. The Kobra 3 Max is slower (300 vs 500 mm/s), physically large, and harder to move. If your prints fit within 220×220 mm, the standard Kobra 3 is the better purchase. If you regularly print very large objects or run batch production, the Max's build area is transformative.
For large-format printing, 300 mm/s is reasonable. The physics of moving a 420×420 mm bed limit how fast you can reliably go before print quality suffers. Real-world print speeds on the Max are typically 150–200 mm/s for good results, which is competitive for the build volume class. You are paying for the size, not the speed.
Not reliably. The Kobra 3 Max has no enclosure, making large-format ABS and ASA prints especially prone to warping — the larger the print, the more heat retention matters. For engineering materials at this scale, an enclosed large-format printer like the Creality K2 Plus is the better choice.
The build volume is genuinely large. You can print life-size costume helmets, full armour panels, large terrain sections for tabletop games, architectural scale models, and functional mechanical parts that would otherwise require assembly from smaller pieces. It is one of the few consumer printers that can print a full-size human torso in one piece.
