| Property | Roboze ARGO 500INDUSTRIAL | Sovol SV08 MaxCOREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Roboze | Sovol |
| Class | INDUSTRIAL | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Roboze ARGO 500 3D Printer[1] | Sovol SV08 Max 3D Printer[2][3] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | Not documented | $1,099.00 on sovol3d.com against a $1,299.00 compare-at price (15% off), in stock, checked Aug 2026[2][3] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Dual-extruder counterpart to the single-extruder ARGO 350. Differences that show in a spec box: 500 mm cube vs 350 x 300 x 300, 1700 kg vs 1200 kg, 11-inch vs 7-inch screen, 0.4 and 0.6 mm nozzles vs 0.4 mm only. Nozzle and chamber temperatures are identical on both. Pricing note: Not published. Top 3D Shop lists it as available on backorder with a 3-5 week lead time but requires a quote request rather than showing a price, checked Aug 2026[1][4] | Much larger sibling of the SV08. Differences that matter in a spec box: 500x500x500 vs 350x350x345, 50 vs 30 mm3/s, TMC5160 XY drivers vs TMC2209, CAN bus, HDMI output, dual 0.4 mm nozzles in the box, and a separately sold chamber-heating module. A chamber heating module for the SV08 Max is listed at $69[2][5][6][3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 500 x 500 x 500 mm[1] | 500 x 500 x 500 mm advertised[2][5] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 1935 x 1436 x 2375 mm[1] | 700 x 710 x 750 mm excluding the spool holder. Shipping cartons: 810 x 820 x 360 mm plus a 775 x 728 x 155 mm enclosure-kit box[2][5] |
| Net weight (kg) | 1700 kg[1] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Fully assembled, made in Italy[1] | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame supplied as a kit; Sovol ships it in two cartons, one of which is an enclosure kit[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Enclosed[1] | Enclosure kit shipped with the machine (separate carton). A chamber-heating module is sold separately at $69[2][3] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | 180 °C chamber temperature (manufacturer specification, actively heated)[1] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY, dual extruder[1] | CoreXY[2][5] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | Z axis 4 x TMC2209; A axis 1 x TMC5160; B axis 1 x TMC5160. Toolhead communication over CAN bus[2][5] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | Not documented | 700 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][5] |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | Not documented | 40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][5] |
| Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s) | Not documented | 50 mm3/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][5] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Two extruders, 1.75 mm filament[1] | Direct drive with auxiliary (assisted) filament feeding[2][5] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | Ceramic heater. Two 0.4 mm nozzles supplied as standard; 0.4/0.6/0.8 mm optional[2][5] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 450 °C maximum nozzle temperature (manufacturer specification)[1] | <=300 °C claimed[2][5] |
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | 0.4 and 0.6 mm[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | Not documented | <=100 °C claimed[2][5] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Removable polymer build sheets held by vacuum[1] | Not documented |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Not documented | Not stated on the SV08 Max page; the SV08 family uses an inductive sensor plus pressure sensor[2] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Not documented | Filament runout detection plus filament tangle/clog detection. Sovol does not describe the tangle or clog mechanism[2][5] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Not documented | 1 GB RAM (512 MB + 512 MB), 8 GB eMMC[2][5] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Proprietary; the recommended software is Roboze Prometheus[1] | Klipper (3DJake's table renders it as "Clipper"). OrcaSlicer is the supported slicer[2][5] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 11-inch colour touchscreen[1] | Not documented |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi[1] | USB, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, HDMI, Ethernet[2][5] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Not documented | Power-loss resume printing supported; mechanism not published[2][5] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PEEK, Carbon PEEK, Carbon PA, ULTEM AM9085F, PC, Functional-nylon, ABS-ESD, PP, Flex-TPU, Strong-ABS, Ultra-PLA and others[1] | 1.75 mm filament; Sovol does not publish a per-material list on this page[2][5] |
| Independently Measured Performance | ||
| Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers) | XY accuracy 0.01 mm, Z accuracy 0.025 mm (manufacturer specification)[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.
