Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K S 7.1" LCD 3D Printer. Manufacturer number 51010040501102[1][2][3]Sovol SV06[4]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$270.00 on us.phrozen3d.com, backordered with an end-of-September ETA, checked Aug 2026. The collection page rendered it as unavailable on the same day[3][2]Not documented
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Phrozen's 7.1-inch line is easy to confuse: the Sonic Mini 8K S ($270) sits beside the older Sonic Mini 8K ($340, sold out) and the 5.5-inch Sonic Mini ($129.99). The 10.1-inch Sonic Mighty family is a different size class entirely. The 8K S is the only one of the group with a single linear rail and a lead screw rather than a ball screw[2][1][3][5]Base model of a four-way family: SV06 (220x220x250, Marlin-era silent board), SV06 Plus (300x300x340), SV06 ACE and SV06 Plus ACE (both Klipper, ceramic hotend, camera, 4.3-inch touchscreen). ACE specs must not be applied to the non-ACE machines[4][6][7]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?Not documentedNo longer listed on Sovol's own store: the current 3D-printer collection contains only SV08, SV08 Max, Zero, SV06 ACE and SV06 Plus ACE. 3DJake also shows it sold out and delisted. Superseded by the SV06 ACE[8][4]

Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)MSLA, single Z axis on one linear rail with a lead screw, straight-lift peel[1][3]Cartesian i3 bedslinger[4]
X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size)One linear rail; lead screw (not a ball screw)[1][3]Not documented
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashNot documentedDual Z-axis motors[4]
Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?)Not documentedTMC2209 drivers on a 32-bit silent board (Sovol description, not verified against a board photo)[4]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedAll-metal direct-drive extruder with planetary gear reduction[4]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Not documentedAll-metal hotend rated to 300 °C. MK8-style nozzle[4]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented300 °C claimed[4]
Heated Bed & Surface
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedNot documentedFlexible PEI build surface[4]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Not documentedAutomatic levelling over 25 points; probe technology not stated on the listing[4]
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)Not documented25 points (manufacturer claim)[4]
Electronics & Power
Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto)24 V DC, 2 A[3]Not documented
Total rated power draw48 W maximum system power[3]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not named by Phrozen. Native file format .PRZ; compatible slicers CHITUBOX, Lychee and VoxelDance Tango[1][3]Not documented
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?3.5-inch touch panel (control panel — not the masking LCD, see W1)[3]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB only[1][3]USB connection; micro-SD card. No Wi-Fi[4]
Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery
Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?)Not documentedResume-after-power-loss supported; mechanism not published[4]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament list405 nm photopolymer resin; no closed compatibility list published[1]1.75 mm filament; Sovol does not publish a per-material list for this model beyond the 300 °C hotend rating[4]
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCD7.1-inch 8K monochrome masking LCD, XY pixel pitch 22 um. Phrozen does not publish the pixel count for this model[1][3]Not documented
Light sourceLinear projection LED module. Wavelength not published for this model[1][3]Not documented
Vertical print speedmm/hMax 80 mm/h (manufacturer claim). Phrozen does not state the layer height or resin type the figure assumes[3]Not documented
Layer height range0.01-0.30 mm[3]Not documented
Release filmFEP film — note this is plain FEP, whereas the Sonic Mighty Revo 14K ships nFEP. No rated life published[3][5]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.
