Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)LDO Positron v3.2 3D Printer Kit, revision v3.2 Rev A[1]Sovol SV06 Plus[2]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)The defining trait is the inverted geometry: the print head is below the bed and the machine prints upside down. Sold as a self-assembly kit; the complete printed-parts set is a separate purchase. A hard storage case is included[1]Larger sibling of the SV06 (220x220x250). Distinct from the SV06 Plus ACE, which is 300x300x350 mm, runs Klipper on an RK3308, adds a 4.3-inch touchscreen, camera and ceramic hotend. The 340 mm vs 350 mm Z figure is the cleanest way to tell the two apart in a spec box[2][3]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?Not documentedDelisted by Sovol; the current collection carries the SV06 Plus ACE instead. 3DJake shows it sold out and no longer stocked[4][2]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable180 x 180 x 165 mm[1]300 x 300 x 340 mm advertised (note: the ACE version is 350 mm in Z)[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)200 x 200 x 70 mm folded, 200 x 200 x 270 mm unfolded[1]Not documented
Net weight (kg)3 kg net; 5.5 kg with the hard case[1]Not documented
Frame construction & materialFolding frame designed to fit in a filament box; supplied with a black hard case[1]Open frame with linear-rail motion, supplied as an assembly kit. One 3DJake purchaser reports construction defects and linear-axis stability problems[2]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidOpen frame[1]Open frame, no enclosure[2]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)CoreXY, inverted — the machine prints upside down[1]Cartesian i3 bedslinger[2]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)250 mm/s maximum print speed (manufacturer claim)[1]Not documented
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)8,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[1]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameBowden-style, single extrusion[1]Direct-drive extruder, single[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)PS plated-copper nozzle, 0.4 mm[1]Not documented
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)260 °C maximum (manufacturer claim)[1]Not documented
Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip)Plated copper[1]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit85 °C maximum bed temperature — the lowest in this group, and the reason the material list stops at PETG[1]Not documented
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedHeated removable ITO glass bed[1]Not documented
Electronics & Power
Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist)LDO Positron mainboard[1]Not documented
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)DC 24 V, 200 W[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness

Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?3.5-inch LCD touchscreen[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveWi-Fi, USB, Ethernet[1]USB connection and mini-SD card[2]
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printSelf-assembly kit, manufactured in China[1]Not documented
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA and PETG only, per the manufacturer[1]1.75 mm filament; no per-material list published on the listing[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.
