Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Sovol SV06[1]Sovol Zero 3D Printer[2][3]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)Not documented$389.00 on sovol3d.com against a $499.00 compare-at price, but marked Sold out, checked Aug 2026. Sovol's own announcement article quotes from $359.00[2][3][4]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)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[1][5][6]No sibling variants at the time of checking. Sovol positions it against the Voron 0 and Bambu Lab P1P. Note the bed and nozzle limits are higher than the larger SV08 (120 vs 100 °C bed, 350 vs 300 °C nozzle), so SV08 figures must not be carried across[2][4][7]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?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 Superseded by the SV06 ACE[3][1]Not documented
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable220 x 220 x 250 mm advertised[1]152.4 x 152.4 x 152.5 mm advertised[2][4]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented345 x 420 x 475 mm[2]
Frame construction & materialOpen i3-style frame, supplied as an assembly kit[1]Full linear rails on all axes; CoreXY with two motors sharing the moving mass[4]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidOpen frame, no enclosure[1]Fully enclosed[4]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Cartesian i3 bedslinger[1]CoreXY[4]
X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size)Not documentedLinear rails on all axes[4]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual Z-axis motors[1]Not documented
Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?)TMC2209 drivers on a 32-bit silent board (Sovol description, not verified against a board photo)[1]Not documented
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documented1200 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim). Sovol's own material acknowledges 700 mm/s as the realistic figure for detailed prints[2][4]
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)Not documented40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][4]
Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s)Not documented<=50 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[2]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameAll-metal direct-drive extruder with planetary gear reduction[1]Planetary-gear direct-drive extruder[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)All-metal hotend rated to 300 °C. MK8-style nozzle[1]Ceramic heating plate. Brass or hardened-steel nozzles in 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8/1.0 mm[2]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)300 °C claimed[1]<=350 °C claimed[2][4]
Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip)Not documentedBrass or hardened steel, buyer's choice[2]
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limitNot documented<=120 °C claimed; Sovol states the bed is AC-heated[2][4]
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedFlexible PEI build surface[1]Double-sided PEI steel plate[2]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Automatic levelling over 25 points; probe technology not stated on the listing[1]Eddy-current scanning combined with pressure (force) sensing — Sovol describes it as an inductive sensor plus force sensor[2][4]
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)25 points (manufacturer claim)[1]Not documented
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Not documentedFilament sensor fitted; type and location not published[2][4]
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxNot documentedAllwinner H616, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB eMMC, 64-bit[2]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)Not documented150 W / 24 V (this is the DC supply; the bed is separately AC-heated per Sovol)[2][4]
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedNot named on the product page beyond OTA updates and OrcaSlicer support; Sovol markets the machine as open source[2][4]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB connection; micro-SD card. No Wi-Fi[1]Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 not supported)[2][4]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)Not documentedBuilt-in camera for monitoring; resolution not published[2][4]
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printNot documentedArrives preassembled[4]
Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery
Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?)Resume-after-power-loss supported; mechanism not published[1]Power-loss recovery supported; mechanism not published[2][4]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament list1.75 mm filament; Sovol does not publish a per-material list for this model beyond the 300 °C hotend rating[1]PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS, ASA, PA, PC[2]

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.
