| Property | ELEGOO OrangeStorm GigaINDUSTRIAL | Sovol ZeroCOREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | ELEGOO | Sovol |
| Class | INDUSTRIAL | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga[1] | Sovol Zero 3D Printer[2][3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Listed on the ELEGOO US store from 17 October 2024 (Shopify publish date)[4] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $2,499.00 on us.elegoo.com, Aug 2026, against a compare-at price of $3,125.00[4] | $389.00 on sovol3d.com against a $499.00 compare-at price, but marked Sold out, checked Aug 2026. Sovol's own announcement article quotes from $359.00[2][3][5] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Sold bare and in bundles; dual-printhead and quad-printhead upgrade kits are separate products, so a Giga's nozzle count depends on which kit was bought. The four printheads sit on the same X axis and print four copies of the same model in parallel (or the same model in four colours) - this is not an IDEX or a toolchanger[1][6] | No sibling variants at the time of checking. Sovol positions it against the Voron 0 and Bambu Lab P1P. Note the bed and nozzle limits are higher than the larger SV08 (120 vs 100 °C bed, 350 vs 300 °C nozzle), so SV08 figures must not be carried across[2][5][7] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 800 x 800 x 1000 mm; the platform is 820 x 820 mm made up of four independent 410 x 410 mm PEI plates[1] | 152.4 x 152.4 x 152.5 mm advertised[2][5] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 1224 x 1164 x 1425 mm; ELEGOO's maximum size for machine activity is 1224 x 1520 x 1570 mm. This is a floor-standing machine, not a desktop one[1] | 345 x 420 x 475 mm[2] |
| Net weight (kg) | 104 kg net, 145 kg gross, and it ships in multiple crates (bottom + XY axis components, then two Z-axis components)[1] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | CNC-machined aluminium extrusion frame; the X and Y axes run on linear guides and the machine sits on carbon steel round bases with rubber anti-slip pads[1] | Full linear rails on all axes; CoreXY with two motors sharing the moving mass[5] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame, no enclosure[1] | Fully enclosed[5] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian gantry with a fixed bed - the printhead moves in X and Y on linear guides and the gantry moves in Z, so nothing about the bed moves during a print[1] | CoreXY[5] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Linear guide on the X axis[1] | Linear rails on all axes[5] |
| Y-axis guide type | Linear guide on the Y axis[1] | Not documented |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Four lead screws with four linear guide rods[8] | Not documented |
| Belts (type, width, e.g. Gates?) | X/Y belts with knob-adjustable tensioners[1] | Not documented |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | "Silent Drive (All Axes)"; no driver part number published[8] | Not documented |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 30-300 mm/s, with 150 mm/s given by ELEGOO as the recommended speed - far below the 500-600 mm/s claimed for desktop machines, which is the honest consequence of moving a gantry this size[1][8] | 1200 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim). Sovol's own material acknowledges 700 mm/s as the realistic figure for detailed prints[2][5] |
| Recommended/typical print speed | 150 mm/s recommended printing speed (manufacturer figure)[8] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 5000 mm/s2 maximum acceleration, which is also the default - four times lower than the Centauri machines[8] | 40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][5] |
| Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s) | Not documented | <=50 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[2] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Dual-gear direct extruder with 2 fans[8] | Planetary-gear direct-drive extruder[2] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Brass nozzle - and note the standard diameter here is 0.6 mm, not the 0.4 mm used across the rest of the ELEGOO range[8] | Ceramic heating plate. Brass or hardened-steel nozzles in 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8/1.0 mm[2] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 300 C claimed max nozzle temperature[1] | <=350 °C claimed[2][5] |
| Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip) | Not documented | Brass or hardened steel, buyer's choice[2] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 100 C max heated bed temperature at 25 C ambient, across four independent 410 x 410 mm PEI magnetic high-temperature platforms[1] | <=120 °C claimed; Sovol states the bed is AC-heated[2][5] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Four independent 410 x 410 mm PEI magnetic platforms rather than one large plate[1] | Double-sided PEI steel plate[2] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Manual levelling combined with 100-point auto-levelling (the desktop ELEGOO machines use a 121-point mesh)[8][9] | Eddy-current scanning combined with pressure (force) sensing — Sovol describes it as an inductive sensor plus force sensor[2][5] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament detection and power-loss resume printing[1] | Filament sensor fitted; type and location not published[2][5] |
| Multi-material/multi-color capability or official upgrade path | Up to three additional printheads can be added on the X axis for four-nozzle simultaneous printing - four copies of one model at once, or the same model in four colours[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | "Klipper High-Speed Quiet Motherboard" is all ELEGOO publishes[8] | Not documented |
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Not documented | Allwinner H616, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB eMMC, 64-bit[2] |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | Not documented | 150 W / 24 V (this is the DC supply; the bed is separately AC-heated per Sovol)[2][5] |
| Total rated power draw | 1530 W with a single head, plus 100 W per additional head, to a stated maximum of 1830 W with four nozzles; 100-120 VAC / 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz[1][8] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper[8] | Not named on the product page beyond OTA updates and OrcaSlicer support; Sovol markets the machine as open source[2][5] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 10.1-inch colour capacitive touch screen - by far the largest in the ELEGOO range[8] | Not documented |
| On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.) | Colour capacitive touch UI; ElegooSlicer recommended, Orca and Cura supported[8] | Not documented |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi, USB and LAN file transfer[1] | Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 not supported)[2][5] |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | Not documented | Built-in camera for monitoring; resolution not published[2][5] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Arrives preassembled[5] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Not documented | Power-loss recovery supported; mechanism not published[2][5] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | The product page lists PLA, PETG and TPU; ELEGOO's compare page adds Nylon to the same machine. Either way it is a much shorter list than the Neptune bed-slingers[1][8] | PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS, ASA, PA, PC[2] |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 12 months on brand-new machines and parts, but ELEGOO's own table excludes a long list of parts from that: PEI plate / build plate / nozzle kit / PTFE tube / heater / thermistor / hot end / packaging / manual / tools carry no warranty at all, and the extruder, extruder kit and printhead kit get 6 months. Certified pre-owned machines carry no warranty[10] | 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.
