| Property | QIDI Q1 ProCOREXY | Sovol SV07BEDSLINGER |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | QIDI | Sovol |
| Class | COREXY | BEDSLINGER |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | QIDI Q1 Pro, listed by QIDI as "Q1 Pro 3D Printer". QIDI traded as Qidi Tech until end-2024[1] | Sovol SV07[2][3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Not stated on QIDI's own product page; the page now carries a discontinuation notice instead of a launch date (checked Aug 2026)[1][4] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $499.00 on both qidi3d.com and us.qidi3d.com, checked Aug 2026 — but the listing is marked Sold Out and the page states "This model has been discontinued". qidi3d.com shows it against a $599.00 regular price; the US store shows compare-at $499.00[1][4] | $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[3][5] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Succeeded by the QIDI Q2, which QIDI's own comparison on the Q1 Pro page distinguishes as 270x270x256 mm (vs 245x245x240), 370 °C hotend (vs 350 °C) and 65 °C chamber (vs 60 °C). Do not read Q2 figures onto the Q1 Pro[1][4] | 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[5][3][6] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Discontinued and out of production; QIDI states spare parts and support for existing owners remain available. Replaced by the Q2[1][4] | Delisted by Sovol; not present in the current 3D-printer collection. 3DJake shows it sold out and no longer stocked[7][2] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 245 x 245 x 240 mm advertised (QIDI). No independently measured usable envelope found[1][8] | 220 x 220 x 250 mm advertised[2][3] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 477 x 467 x 489 mm machine dimensions (QIDI)[1][8] | 460 x 457 x 625 mm[3] |
| Net weight (kg) | 17 kg net, 20.3 kg gross (QIDI). 3DJake lists the 20.3 kg figure as gross weight[1][8] | 9.8 kg machine weight; 12.9 kg boxed[3] |
| Frame construction & material | Metal CoreXY motion frame with panelled enclosure; QIDI publishes no frame-material breakdown for this model[1] | Open frame, supplied as an assembly kit[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed with independent chamber heating to 60 °C; QIDI does not publish the panel materials for this model[1][8] | Open frame; 3DJake records "Heated chamber: No"[2] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | 60 °C, actively heated (manufacturer claim — this is a heater setpoint, not a measured passive figure)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[8] | Cartesian i3 bedslinger[2] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | 10 mm linear steel rods with automatically tensioned belt (manufacturer description)[8] | Not documented |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Independent dual Z lead-screw motors[8] | Not documented |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 600 mm/s, worded by QIDI as maximum tool-head speed (manufacturer claim, not a sustained printing speed)[1][8] | 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[5][2][3] |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | <=20,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct-drive extruder with hardened steel gears[1][8] | All-metal dual-gear direct drive with a planetary gearbox[2][5] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Tri-metal hotend with a ceramic heater plate and a bimetal nozzle, 0.4 mm standard[1][8] | All-metal hotend to 300 °C[2][5] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=350 °C claimed. No firmware max_temp verified for this model[1][8] | <=300 °C claimed[2][3][5] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | <=120 °C claimed. No firmware limit verified for this model[1][8] | <=100 °C claimed[3] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided textured PEI plate on an aluminium substrate bed[1][8] | Reversible PEI build plate[2] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Automatic levelling; QIDI markets it as "hands-free automatic levelling" with dual sensors, without naming the probe technology[1] | Automatic bed levelling over 25 points; probe technology not stated[2] |
| Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence) | Not documented | 25 points (manufacturer claim)[2] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament run-out sensor fitted; QIDI also lists filament tangle detection without describing the mechanism[8] | Not documented |
| Cooling & Air Handling | ||
| Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting design | Auxiliary part-cooling fan plus a chamber circulation fan (fan count and duct design not published)[8] | Triple-fan cooling (Sovol's description; fan sizes and duct design not published)[2][5] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | Not documented | 350 W MeanWell, 24 V, 115/230 V AC input[5][3] |
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz[8] | Not documented |
| Total rated power draw | 350 W plus 300 W for chamber heating (rated)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper, running on a 64-bit processor per QIDI. Exact fork and version not published on the product page[1] | Klipper[2][5] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 4.3-inch touchscreen, 272 x 480[1][8] | 5-inch touchscreen (Sovol markets it as a "5-inch HD Klipper screen")[2][5] |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi 6 (QIDI states "150M 2.4G") and USB 2.0. No Ethernet listed for this model[1][8] | Wi-Fi and USB Type-C[2][5][3] |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | Built-in camera, up to 1080p, timelapse supported. Framerate not published[1][8] | Not documented |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Ships fully assembled[1] | Not documented |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Power-loss recovery listed as a feature; mechanism not published[8] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | QIDI lists compatibility with common filaments; storage 32 GB eMMC. No per-material list published on the current page beyond the general claim[1] | PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, wood-filled; Sovol also lists carbon fibre[3][5] |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 1-year coverage, 14-day no-reason return, lifetime tech guidance (QIDI's standard terms as shown on its store)[9] | 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.
