| Brand | Sovol | VzBoT |
| Class | BEDSLINGER | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Sovol SV06 Plus ACE 3D Printer[1][2] | VzBoT AWD 330, also written Vz330. Sold as "DIY VzBoT AWD 330 VZ330 3D Printer Kit" by Mellow[3] |
| 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] | $1,360.00 at Mellow, available and shipping from China, checked Aug 2026[3] |
| 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] | Ordered by colour (black or silver) and mains voltage (110 V or 220 V). Mellow describes the kit as a test version that still requires the buyer to print some components, and the 5-inch DSI screen requires a host computer that supports DSI — neither is included[3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 300 x 300 x 350 mm advertised[1] | 330 x 330 x 400 mm[3] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 510 x 575 x 710 mm including screen and filament holder[1] | 530 x 500 x 720 mm body dimensions[3] |
| Net weight (kg) | Not documented | 31 kg net, 36 kg gross[3] |
| Frame construction & material | Open i3-style frame; Sovol publishes no frame-material breakdown[1] | CNC-machined all-metal frame with carbon-rod components[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame, no enclosure[1] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian i3 bedslinger[1] | CoreXY in an AWD (all-wheel drive) arrangement — two motors on X and two on Y, four in total for the XY plane, each on its own external driver[3] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Not documented | LDO 9 mm rail on X; LDO 12 mm dual rails on Y; 10 mm optical shafts on Z[3] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | Four external TMC5160 drivers for the LDO XY motors[3] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 500 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[1] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 15,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[1] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Planetary double-gear direct drive, 1:7.5 reduction[1] | Lightweight all-metal direct drive with a twill drive wheel[3] |
| 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] | VZ High Speed hotend[3] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=300 °C claimed[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 100 °C claimed[1] | 120 °C maximum bed temperature (manufacturer claim)[3] |
| Bed heater type (DC/AC mains) & wattage | Not documented | 750 W silicone bed heater on an 8 mm aluminium plate[3] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided textured PEI plate[1] | 8 mm aluminium plate with a magnetic spring-steel PEI-coated sheet[3] |
| 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] | Not documented |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament run-out sensor fitted; type and location not published[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | Not documented | 32-bit mainboard, quoted by Mellow at 550 Hz. Exact board model not named on the listing[3] |
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Rockchip RK3308 ("3308 chip"), 512 MB RAM, 8 GB eMMC[1] | Not documented |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 500 W / 24 V, 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz[1] | Not documented |
| 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 or RepRapFirmware[3] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen[1] | 5-inch DSI display; requires a compatible host computer, which is not included[3] |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz only, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[1] | Not documented |
| 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] | Not documented |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Self-assembly kit; some parts must be printed by the buyer[3] |
| 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] | 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.
