| Property | QIDI X-Max 3COREXY | Sovol SV06 PlusBEDSLINGER |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | QIDI | Sovol |
| Class | COREXY | BEDSLINGER |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | QIDI X-Max 3, listed by QIDI as "Qidi Tech X-Max 3 3D Printer" and in navigation as X-Max3[1][2] | Sovol SV06 Plus[3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Not published by QIDI; the product page carries a discontinuation notice rather than a launch date (checked Aug 2026)[1] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $899.00 (from a $999.00 sale reference) on us.qidi3d.com but marked Sold Out and discontinued, checked Aug 2026. 3D Printers Online Store lists $1,099 USD, also out of stock[1][4] | Not documented |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Same-generation siblings X-Plus 3 (280x280x270, 500 mm/s, 800 W) and X-Smart 3 (175x180x170, no chamber heating, 300 °C, 350 W). All three share the Cortex-A53 1.5 GHz / 1 GB DDR3 / 8 GB eMMC control board, so shared-board specs are not evidence of shared print specs. Replaced by the Max4[2][5][6][7] | 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[3][8] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Discontinued and out of production; QIDI directs buyers to the Max4[1] | Delisted by Sovol; the current collection carries the SV06 Plus ACE instead. 3DJake shows it sold out and no longer stocked[9][3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 325 x 325 x 315 mm advertised[1][2][4] | 300 x 300 x 340 mm advertised (note: the ACE version is 350 mm in Z)[3] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 553 x 553 x 601 mm[2][4] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 30.2 kg net[2][4] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Enclosed CoreXY chassis, fully assembled from the factory. QIDI does not publish a frame-material breakdown[2] | Open frame with linear-rail motion, supplied as an assembly kit. One 3DJake purchaser reports construction defects and linear-axis stability problems[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed, with a chamber circulation blower and activated-carbon air filter[2] | Open frame, no enclosure[3] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | 65 °C maximum, independent chamber heating (manufacturer claim)[1][2] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[2] | Cartesian i3 bedslinger[3] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Linear optical axis (polished steel rod) of high-strength steel[2] | Not documented |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Double Z axis[2] | Not documented |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | <=600 mm/s (manufacturer claim)[1][2][4] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 20,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[1] | Not documented |
| Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s) | 35 mm3/s extruder flow (manufacturer claim)[2] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | High-flow direct-drive extruder; QIDI states a 9.5:1 gear ratio for this model[1][2] | Direct-drive extruder, single[3] |
| Gear ratio & drive gear material | 9.5:1[1] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Ceramic heating core. Two interchangeable nozzle-head sets shipped: copper alloy for standard materials, hardened steel for abrasives. 0.4 mm stock, 0.2/0.6/0.8 mm optional[1][2] | Not documented |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=350 °C claimed[1][2][4] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | <=120 °C claimed[2][4] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided flexible magnetic plate (QIDI's "HF" plate)[1][2] | Not documented |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Automatic levelling via Klipper adaptive meshing; probe technology not named by QIDI[1] | Not documented |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament detection fitted; type and location not published[2] | Not documented |
| Cooling & Air Handling | ||
| Auxiliary part-cooling fan? | Additional (auxiliary) cooling fan fitted[2] | Not documented |
| Chamber/exhaust fan & filtration (activated carbon / HEPA) | Chamber circulation blower with activated-carbon air filter[2] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Cortex-A53 64-bit at 1.5 GHz, 1 GB DDR3, 8 GB eMMC[1][2] | Not documented |
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz[2] | Not documented |
| Total rated power draw | 900 W rated[2][4] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper with the Fluidd web console. Fork and version not published[1] | Not documented |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 5-inch touchscreen, 800 x 480[2] | Not documented |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi (QIDI states 150M 2.4G), Ethernet, USB flash drive[2] | USB connection and mini-SD card[3] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | ABS, PLA, PETG, TPU, nylon, carbon fibre, PC[4] | 1.75 mm filament; no per-material list published on the listing[3] |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 1-year coverage[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.
