## Verdict

The Kobra 3 V2 Combo is one of the cheapest ways to get 4 color printing with filament drying. Reviewers praise its single color print quality and new Orca based slicer. The ACE Pro feeder caused most of the errors in long term testing, so multi color work needs patience.

Four with the included ACE Pro, or eight with a second ACE Pro unit.

### Can I use OrcaSlicer with it?

Notebookcheck found only Anycubic Slicer Next supported. That slicer is based on Orca Slicer.
