| Property | QIDI Plus4COREXY | Sovol SV07BEDSLINGER |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | QIDI | Sovol |
| Class | COREXY | BEDSLINGER |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | QIDI Plus4, sold as "Plus4 3D Printer". QIDI's own wiki files it under X-Plus4[1][2] | Sovol SV07[3][4] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Announced September 2024; QIDI ran launch promotional pricing in the week of 20-27 September 2024 (secondary reporting, not a QIDI press release)[5] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $649.00 on us.qidi3d.com for the Plus4 + 1 filament variant against a $799.00 compare-at price; $699.00 on qidi3d.com against $799.00. Checked Aug 2026[1][2] | $299 at 3D Printers Online Store but Out of Stock, checked Aug 2026. Sovol's own comparison article quotes $259. No in-stock listing found[4][6] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Two purchasable variants: Plus4 + Filament x1 at $649 and Plus4 Combo + Filament x1 at $799 (Combo adds the QIDI Box multi-material unit). Distinct from the older X-Plus 3 (280x280x270, 350 °C) and from the newer Plus5 (320x320x300)[2][1] | Base of a two-model pair with the SV07 Plus (300x300x350, 600 W MeanWell PSU, 25-point levelling, adds USB Type-C). The SV07 has a 350 W MeanWell PSU. Both are quoted by Sovol at 500 mm/s and 300 °C, so PSU wattage and build volume are the reliable discriminators[6][4][7] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Superseded at the top of the large-format line by the Plus5, launched 5 August 2026 with 18% more build volume; Plus4 still listed and in stock Aug 2026[8][9] | Delisted by Sovol; not present in the current 3D-printer collection. 3DJake shows it sold out and no longer stocked[10][3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 305 x 305 x 280 mm advertised. No independently measured usable envelope found[1][5] | 220 x 220 x 250 mm advertised[3][4] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 505 x 487 x 550 mm[5] | 460 x 457 x 625 mm[4] |
| Net weight (kg) | 32 kg gross (3DJake). QIDI does not publish a net weight on the product page[5] | 9.8 kg machine weight; 12.9 kg boxed[4] |
| Frame construction & material | Enclosed CoreXY chassis with double-layer chamber insulation; QIDI does not publish a frame material breakdown[1] | Open frame, supplied as an assembly kit[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed, double-layer insulated chamber with second-generation active heating to 65 °C[1][5] | Open frame; 3DJake records "Heated chamber: No"[3] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | 65 °C, actively heated by a 400 W heater which QIDI says reaches setpoint in about 8 minutes (manufacturer claim)[1][5] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[5] | Cartesian i3 bedslinger[3] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Dual independent Z motors on 10 mm linear shafts and screws[1] | Not documented |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 600 mm/s (manufacturer claim, tool-head maximum)[5] | Conflicting manufacturer figures: Sovol's own comparison says up to 500 mm/s, 3DJake's feature text says up to 250 mm/s, and the retailer listing gives a 250-500 mm/s range. 500 is the headline claim, 250 the working figure[6][3][4] |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | <=20,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[5] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct drive with hardened steel dual gears, 1.75 mm filament[1][5] | All-metal dual-gear direct drive with a planetary gearbox[3][6] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Second-generation 80 W bimetal hotend with a multi-metal composite hardened-tip nozzle; 0.4 mm standard, 0.2/0.5/0.8 mm optional[1][5] | All-metal hotend to 300 °C[3][6] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=370 °C claimed. No firmware max_temp verified for this model[1][5] | <=300 °C claimed[3][4][6] |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | 80 W hotend heater (manufacturer figure)[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | Conflicting manufacturer figures: QIDI's own Plus4 page states a 100 °C bed temperature, 3DJake's spec table states <=120 °C. Not resolved; the lower vendor-published figure is used as the sortable value[1][5] | <=100 °C claimed[4] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | 6 mm aluminium-substrate heated bed with a double-sided textured PEI plate[1][5] | Reversible PEI build plate[3] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Full-auto calibration; QIDI markets "hands-free automatic" levelling and does not name the probe technology on the product page[1][5] | Automatic bed levelling over 25 points; probe technology not stated[3] |
| Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence) | Not documented | 25 points (manufacturer claim)[3] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||

| Electronics & Power | ||
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | Not documented | 350 W MeanWell, 24 V, 115/230 V AC input[6][4] |
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz[5] | Not documented |
| Total rated power draw | 450 W plus 400 W for chamber heating (rated)[5] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper v0.12, described by QIDI as open source. Fork details and current release not published on the product page[1] | Klipper[3][6] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 5-inch touchscreen, 800 x 480[1][5] | 5-inch touchscreen (Sovol markets it as a "5-inch HD Klipper screen")[3][6] |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Ethernet, USB[1][5] | Wi-Fi and USB Type-C[3][6][4] |

| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 1-year coverage, 14-day no-reason return, 30-day price protection[1] | 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.
