The Anycubic Kobra 2 (Anycubic) has a direct-drive extruder, a PTFE-lined hotend, with a 260°C max hotend and 110°C max bed (220 × 220 × 250 mm). Of 14 common filaments, 9 are a great match on this hardware out of the box.
What filaments does the Anycubic Kobra 2 support? The Anycubic Kobra 2 supports 9 filaments out of the box and can handle 4 more with tweaks (usually an enclosure or slower speed). Its PTFE-lined hotend (keep it ≤240°C), direct-drive extruder and 110°C bed decide what it can run.

FAQ
What filaments does the Anycubic Kobra 2 support?
Out of the box the Anycubic Kobra 2 is a great match for PLA, PLA+, Silk PLA, Wood PLA, PETG, PLA-CF, PETG-CF, TPU, PVA. It can also print ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), HIPS with the right setup (an enclosure or draft shield for warp-prone materials). We do not recommend Polycarbonate on this machine without hardware upgrades.
Can the Anycubic Kobra 2 print PETG?
Yes. PETG prints well on the Anycubic Kobra 2 at about 240°C hotend and 80°C bed. See the full Anycubic Kobra 2 PETG profile.
Can the Anycubic Kobra 2 print ABS or ASA?
The Anycubic Kobra 2 is open-frame, so ABS and ASA are possible but will warp on larger parts without an enclosure or draft shield. Its PTFE-lined hotend also limits you to 240°C, which is marginal for ABS/ASA.
Does the Anycubic Kobra 2 need an all-metal hotend for high-temp filament?
The Anycubic Kobra 2 has a PTFE-lined hotend, so keep it at or below 240°C. For hotter materials like polycarbonate you would need an all-metal hotend upgrade first.
