| Property | Sovol SV06 Plus ACEBEDSLINGER | Sovol SV08COREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Sovol | Sovol |
| Class | BEDSLINGER | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Sovol SV06 Plus ACE 3D Printer[1][2] | Sovol SV08 3D Printer[3][2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $299.00 on sovol3d.com against a $349.00 compare-at price, in stock and shipping from US/EU/CA/AU/UK/CN warehouses, checked Aug 2026[1][2] | $549.00 on sovol3d.com against a $599.00 compare-at price, in stock, checked Aug 2026 (Canada warehouse quoted as shipping end of September)[3][2] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Larger sibling of the SV06 ACE ($239, 220x220x250). Differs from the non-ACE SV06 Plus by Z height (350 vs 340 mm), Klipper on an RK3308, ceramic-plate hotend, 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen and a camera. Notably it has NO power-loss recovery, which the older SV06 did have[1][2][4] | Sibling SV08 Max is a much larger 500x500x500 machine at $1,099 with a 50 mm3/s flow rate, TMC5160 XY drivers and CAN bus; the SV08 is 30 mm3/s with TMC2209s. Do not carry SV08 Max figures onto the SV08. An eddy-current scanning kit and a 5-inch touchscreen are sold as separate upgrades[2][5][6][3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 300 x 300 x 350 mm advertised[1] | 350 x 350 x 345 mm advertised[3][6] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 510 x 575 x 710 mm including screen and filament holder[1] | 550 x 537 x 575 mm. Sovol's page says this includes screen and filament holder; 3DJake says it excludes the spool holder[3][6] |
| Net weight (kg) | Not documented | 21.5 kg gross (3DJake). Sovol does not publish a net weight[6] |
| Frame construction & material | Open i3-style frame; Sovol publishes no frame-material breakdown[1] | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame; Sovol states the design is inspired by the Voron 2.4 and that software, firmware and hardware are open source with design files on GitHub, with $2 per unit donated to the Voron project[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame, no enclosure[1] | Open frame as shipped; Sovol sells an enclosure kit separately (an enclosure-kit package is listed for the SV08 Max)[3][5] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian i3 bedslinger[1] | CoreXY[3] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | TMC2209[3] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 500 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[1] | 700 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[3][6] |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 15,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[1] | 40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[3][6] |
| Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s) | Not documented | <=30 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[3][6] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Planetary double-gear direct drive, 1:7.5 reduction[1] | Planetary-gear direct-drive extruder[3][6] |
| Gear ratio & drive gear material | 1:7.5[1] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Ceramic heating plate hotend; 0.4 mm nozzle included, 0.6 and 0.8 mm optional[1] | Not documented |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=300 °C claimed[1] | <=300 °C claimed[3][6] |
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | Not documented | 0.4 mm included; 0.2, 0.6 and 0.8 mm optional[3] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 100 °C claimed[1] | <=100 °C claimed[3][6] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided textured PEI plate[1] | Powder-coated PEI steel plate[3][6] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Automatic levelling (Sovol calls the ACE upgrade an added automatic levelling function); probe technology not named on this page[1] | Inductive sensor plus a pressure (load) sensor. An eddy-current scanning kit is sold as an upgrade[3][6][2] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament run-out sensor fitted; type and location not published[1] | Filament sensor fitted, with filament-runout resume; type and location not published[3][6] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Rockchip RK3308 ("3308 chip"), 512 MB RAM, 8 GB eMMC[1] | Allwinner H616 quad-core Cortex-A53, 1 GB RAM (512 MB + 512 MB), 8 GB eMMC[3][6] |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 500 W / 24 V, 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz[1] | Conflicting: Sovol's spec table says 150 W / 24 V, while 3DJake's table gives a rated power of 1000 W at both 110 V and 220 V. The two are only reconcilable if the bed is mains-heated separately from the 24 V logic supply, which Sovol does not state[3][6] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper. Sovol does not publish the fork or version on the product page. OTA updates supported[1] | Klipper. Sovol publishes the design files on GitHub and describes software, firmware and hardware as fully open source[3][6] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen[1] | Not documented |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz only, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[1] | Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[3][6] |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | Built-in camera, default 640x480, maximum 1280x720 (Sovol writes it as 1080x720P)[1] | Camera listed as fitted by Sovol; 3DJake lists a camera as an accessory. Resolution not published[3][6] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | None. Sovol's own spec table states "Power Loss Recovery: None" for this model[1] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA[1] | PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS and others[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.
