Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon P1 Max[1]Sovol SV06 Plus ACE 3D Printer[2][3]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$959 advertised single-unit sale/from price; $999 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]$299.00 on sovol3d.com against a $349.00 compare-at price, in stock and shipping from US/EU/CA/AU/UK/CN warehouses, checked Aug 2026[2][3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedLarger sibling of the SV06 ACE ($239, 220x220x250). Differs from the non-ACE SV06 Plus by Z height (350 vs 340 mm), Klipper on an RK3308, ceramic-plate hotend, 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen and a camera. Notably it has NO power-loss recovery, which the older SV06 did have[2][3][4]

Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedPrecision-ground steel build platform[1]Double-sided textured PEI plate[2]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Leveling-Free 3.0 with feedback and pre-print self-check (manufacturer claim)[1]Automatic levelling (Sovol calls the ACE upgrade an added automatic levelling function); probe technology not named on this page[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Not documentedFilament run-out sensor fitted; type and location not published[2]
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxNot documentedRockchip RK3308 ("3308 chip"), 512 MB RAM, 8 GB eMMC[2]

Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedKlipper. Sovol does not publish the fork or version on the product page. OTA updates supported[2]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.5-inch resistive touchscreen[1]4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen[2]
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveWi-Fi and Ethernet; manufacturer advertises LAN isolation mode.[1]Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz only, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[2]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)Not documentedBuilt-in camera, default 640x480, maximum 1280x720 (Sovol writes it as 1080x720P)[2]

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.
