Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$749 advertised base sale/from price; $899 compare-at, not launch MSRP. Global USD storefront, Other plug/no resin selected; US price, availability, shipping and tax require checkout. Checked 2026-10-17.[1]$1,099.00 on sovol3d.com against a $1,299.00 compare-at price (15% off), in stock, checked Aug 2026[2][3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedMuch larger sibling of the SV08. Differences that matter in a spec box: 500x500x500 vs 350x350x345, 50 vs 30 mm3/s, TMC5160 XY drivers vs TMC2209, CAN bus, HDMI output, dual 0.4 mm nozzles in the box, and a separately sold chamber-heating module. A chamber heating module for the SV08 Max is listed at $69[2][4][5][3]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable298 × 164 × 300 mm (X × Y × Z), advertised 14.7 L; usable volume not independently measured.[1]500 x 500 x 500 mm advertised[2][4]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented700 x 710 x 750 mm excluding the spool holder. Shipping cartons: 810 x 820 x 360 mm plus a 775 x 728 x 155 mm enclosure-kit box[2][4]
Net weight (kg)24 kg (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented
Frame construction & materialNot documentedAluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame supplied as a kit; Sovol ships it in two cartons, one of which is an enclosure kit[2]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidNot documentedEnclosure kit shipped with the machine (separate carton). A chamber-heating module is sold separately at $69[2][3]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedCoreXY[2][4]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual linear Z rails; manufacturer states 10 µm precision.[1]Not documented
Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?)Not documentedZ axis 4 x TMC2209; A axis 1 x TMC5160; B axis 1 x TMC5160. Toolhead communication over CAN bus[2][4]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documented700 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][4]
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)Not documented40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][4]
Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s)Not documented50 mm3/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][4]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedDirect drive with auxiliary (assisted) filament feeding[2][4]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Not documentedCeramic heater. Two 0.4 mm nozzles supplied as standard; 0.4/0.6/0.8 mm optional[2][4]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented<=300 °C claimed[2][4]
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limitNot documented<=100 °C claimed[2][4]
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedLaser-engraved aluminium build plate[1]Not documented
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Four-point manual leveling[1]Not stated on the SV08 Max page; the SV08 family uses an inductive sensor plus pressure sensor[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Not documentedFilament runout detection plus filament tangle/clog detection. Sovol does not describe the tangle or clog mechanism[2][4]
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxNot documented1 GB RAM (512 MB + 512 MB), 8 GB eMMC[2][4]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)180 W power supply (manufacturer specification; not measured consumption)[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedKlipper (3DJake's table renders it as "Clipper"). OrcaSlicer is the supported slicer[2][4]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch touchscreen[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB and Wi-Fi; store still labels LAN as scheduled, so availability is unverified.[1]USB, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, HDMI, Ethernet[2][4]
Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery
Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?)Not documentedPower-loss resume printing supported; mechanism not published[2][4]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listNot documented1.75 mm filament; Sovol does not publish a per-material list on this page[2][4]
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCD13.6-inch monochrome 7K masking LCD, 46 × 46 µm XY pixel pitch (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented

Light uniformity & intensity4500 ±10% µW/cm² (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented
Vertical print speedmm/hStandard resin: ≤31 mm/h at 0.05 mm layers; ≤63 mm/h at 0.1 mm. High-speed resin: ≤86 mm/h at 0.1 mm. Manufacturer table also labels ≤63 mm/h as maximum; headline figures differ. No independent measurement added.[1]Not documented
Layer height range0.01–0.15 mm layer height[1]Not documented

Resin vat & feeding≤1.3 L vat, dynamic resin temperature control and auto-fill/recycling support (manufacturer specifications).[1]Not documented
Fume extractionOptional air purifier; filtration efficacy not independently verified.[1]Not documented

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
