PropertyQIDI X-Max 3COREXYSovol SV06BEDSLINGER
Identity
BrandQIDISovol
ClassCOREXYBEDSLINGER
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[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]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][8][9]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?Discontinued and out of production; QIDI directs buyers to the Max4[1]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 Superseded by the SV06 ACE[10][3]

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]All-metal hotend rated to 300 °C. MK8-style nozzle[3]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)<=350 °C claimed[1][2][4]300 °C claimed[3]
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit<=120 °C claimed[2][4]Not documented
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedDouble-sided flexible magnetic plate (QIDI's "HF" plate)[1][2]Flexible PEI build surface[3]
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]Automatic levelling over 25 points; probe technology not stated on the listing[3]
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)Not documented25 points (manufacturer claim)[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.
