| Property | QIDI i-FastIDEX | Sovol SV06BEDSLINGER |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | QIDI | Sovol |
| Class | IDEX | BEDSLINGER |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | QIDI Tech i-Fast, also written iFast and "I-Fast"[1][2] | Sovol SV06[3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Not published on the listings checked (Aug 2026)[1][2] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $1,899.00 at Top 3D Shop, listed as discontinued with a 5-10 business-day lead time, checked Aug 2026. 3DJake no longer sells it[2][1] | Not documented |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Ships with two interchangeable dual-extruder assemblies — a standard dual head and a high-temperature dual head rated to 350 °C. Specifications quoted for one head do not apply to the other. Not to be confused with QIDI's i-Mate or the X-CF Pro[2][1] | 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[3][4][5] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Discontinued; QIDI's current line is the Q, Plus and Max series[2][6] | No 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 Superseded by the SV06 ACE[7][3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 330 x 250 x 320 mm advertised[1][2] | 220 x 220 x 250 mm advertised[3] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 710 x 510 x 670 mm[2] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 33 kg net[2] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Fully assembled enclosed metal-frame machine[1] | Open i3-style frame, supplied as an assembly kit[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed with a heated chamber[1][2] | Open frame, no enclosure[3] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Dual independent extruders in an enclosed Cartesian gantry[1][2] | Cartesian i3 bedslinger[3] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Not documented | Dual Z-axis motors[3] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | TMC2209 drivers on a 32-bit silent board (Sovol description, not verified against a board photo)[3] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 30-150 mm/s print speed range (manufacturer figure — a working range, not a peak marketing number)[2] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct-drive, two extruders. MK10-style nozzle[1][2] | All-metal direct-drive extruder with planetary gear reduction[3] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | All-metal hotend rated to 300 °C. MK8-style nozzle[3] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 350 °C on the high-temperature extruder assembly[1][2] | 300 °C claimed[3] |
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | 0.4 mm nozzle diameter[2] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Not documented | Flexible PEI build surface[3] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Not documented | Automatic levelling over 25 points; probe technology not stated on the listing[3] |
| Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence) | Not documented | 25 points (manufacturer claim)[3] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | 110-220 V[2] | Not documented |
| Total rated power draw | 700 W rated[2] | Not documented |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi, LAN, USB flash drive[1][2] | USB connection; micro-SD card. No Wi-Fi[3] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Not documented | Resume-after-power-loss supported; mechanism not published[3] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | Carbon fibre, nylon, PETG, TPU, PC, ABS, PLA[2] | 1.75 mm filament; Sovol does not publish a per-material list for this model beyond the 300 °C hotend rating[3] |
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.
