Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Markforged X7, current generation listed as Gen 2[1][2]Sovol SV07 Plus[3][4]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)Gen 2 dated 2022[1]Not documented
Launch MSRP (USD)Approximately $69,900 USD (Aniwaa quotes the same figure in EUR)[1]Not documented
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)Not documented$199 at 3D Printers Online Store, reduced from $379, but Out of Stock, checked Aug 2026. Sovol's own comparison quotes $259 sale / $309-379 regular[3][4]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Top of the X series (X3, X5, X7). Markforged's other industrial lines are different machines entirely: FX10 (CA$139,986), FX20 (CA$335,860) and Metal X Gen 2 (CA$153,986). The X7 is a composite FFF machine, not a metal printer. Pricing note: No live USD listing found. CAD Micro lists the X7 (Gen 2) at CA$90,986.00, checked Aug 2026 — Canadian dollars, not USD[2][1]Large-format version of the SV07. Distinguishers: 300x300x350 mm vs 220x220x250, 600 W MeanWell vs 350 W, 25-point levelling, and USB Type-C added. Both are quoted at 500 mm/s and 300 °C. Note Sovol's own comparison table gives 300x300x350 while some listings write 300x300x340[4][3]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?Not documentedDelisted by Sovol; not present in the current 3D-printer collection[5]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable330 x 270 x 200 mm (Aniwaa records 17.82 L)[1]300 x 300 x 350 mm advertised[3][4]

Net weight (kg)48 kg[1]14 kg[3]
Frame construction & materialNot documentedOpen frame, assembly kit[4]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidEnclosed industrial cabinet[1]Open frame, no enclosure[4]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Continuous fibre deposition combined with fused filament fabrication[1]Cartesian i3 bedslinger[4]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documentedUp to 500 mm/s (manufacturer claim); the retailer listing gives a 250-500 mm/s working range[4][3]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedDual-gear direct drive with planetary gearbox[4]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Not documentedAll-metal hotend to 300 °C, 0.4 mm nozzle[4][3]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented<=300 °C claimed[4][3]
Stock nozzle size & sizes included in boxLayer resolution down to 0.05 mm in Z[1]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limitNot documented<=100 °C claimed[3]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Not documented25-point automatic levelling; probe technology not stated[4]
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)Not documented25 points (manufacturer claim)[4]
Cooling & Air Handling
Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting designNot documentedEnhanced triple cooling (Sovol's wording; no fan detail published)[4]
Electronics & Power
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)Not documented600 W MeanWell, 24 V, 115/230 V AC input[4][3]
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedKlipper[4]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?Not documented5-inch touchscreen[4]
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveNot documentedWi-Fi, USB and USB Type-C[4][3]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listComposites with carbon, glass and Kevlar-reinforced polymers; elastomers (TPU); thermoplastics including PLA and PA-CF. Markforged's continuous fibre strands are carbon, fibreglass or Kevlar laid inside Onyx[1]PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, wood-filled; Sovol also lists carbon fibre[3][4]

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.
