Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max[1]Sovol SV08 3D Printer[2][3]
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]$549.00 on sovol3d.com against a $599.00 compare-at price, in stock, checked Aug 2026 (Canada warehouse quoted as shipping end of September)[2][3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedSibling SV08 Max is a much larger 500x500x500 machine at $1,099 with a 50 mm3/s flow rate, TMC5160 XY drivers and CAN bus; the SV08 is 30 mm3/s with TMC2209s. Do not carry SV08 Max figures onto the SV08. An eddy-current scanning kit and a 5-inch touchscreen are sold as separate upgrades[3][4][5][2]
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]350 x 350 x 345 mm advertised[2][5]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented550 x 537 x 575 mm. Sovol's page says this includes screen and filament holder; 3DJake says it excludes the spool holder[2][5]
Net weight (kg)24 kg (manufacturer specification)[1]21.5 kg gross (3DJake). Sovol does not publish a net weight[5]
Frame construction & materialNot documentedAluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame; Sovol states the design is inspired by the Voron 2.4 and that software, firmware and hardware are open source with design files on GitHub, with $2 per unit donated to the Voron project[2]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidNot documentedOpen frame as shipped; Sovol sells an enclosure kit separately (an enclosure-kit package is listed for the SV08 Max)[2][4]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedCoreXY[2]
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 documentedTMC2209[2]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documented700 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][5]
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)Not documented40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][5]
Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s)Not documented<=30 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[2][5]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedPlanetary-gear direct-drive extruder[2][5]
Hotend & Nozzle
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented<=300 °C claimed[2][5]
Stock nozzle size & sizes included in boxNot documented0.4 mm included; 0.2, 0.6 and 0.8 mm optional[2]
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limitNot documented<=100 °C claimed[2][5]
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedLaser-engraved aluminium build plate[1]Powder-coated PEI steel plate[2][5]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Four-point manual leveling[1]Inductive sensor plus a pressure (load) sensor. An eddy-current scanning kit is sold as an upgrade[2][5][3]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Not documentedFilament sensor fitted, with filament-runout resume; type and location not published[2][5]
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxNot documentedAllwinner H616 quad-core Cortex-A53, 1 GB RAM (512 MB + 512 MB), 8 GB eMMC[2][5]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)180 W power supply (manufacturer specification; not measured consumption)[1]Conflicting: Sovol's spec table says 150 W / 24 V, while 3DJake's table gives a rated power of 1000 W at both 110 V and 220 V. The two are only reconcilable if the bed is mains-heated separately from the 24 V logic supply, which Sovol does not state[2][5]
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedKlipper. Sovol publishes the design files on GitHub and describes software, firmware and hardware as fully open source[2][5]
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]Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[2][5]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)Not documentedCamera listed as fitted by Sovol; 3DJake lists a camera as an accessory. Resolution not published[2][5]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listNot documentedPLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS and others[2]
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCD13.6-inch monochrome 7K masking LCD, 46 × 46 µm XY pixel pitch (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented
Light sourceCOB + Fresnel lens + light-uniformity algorithm[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
Release filmImproved ACF film (manufacturer description)[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.
