| Property | Sovol SV08COREXY | Sovol ZeroCOREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Sovol | Sovol |
| Class | COREXY | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Sovol SV08 3D Printer[1][2] | Sovol Zero 3D Printer[3][2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $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)[1][2] | $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[3][2][4] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | 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][1] | 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[3][4][1] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 350 x 350 x 345 mm advertised[1][6] | 152.4 x 152.4 x 152.5 mm advertised[3][4] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 550 x 537 x 575 mm. Sovol's page says this includes screen and filament holder; 3DJake says it excludes the spool holder[1][6] | 345 x 420 x 475 mm[3] |
| Net weight (kg) | 21.5 kg gross (3DJake). Sovol does not publish a net weight[6] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | 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[1] | Full linear rails on all axes; CoreXY with two motors sharing the moving mass[4] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame as shipped; Sovol sells an enclosure kit separately (an enclosure-kit package is listed for the SV08 Max)[1][5] | Fully enclosed[4] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[1] | CoreXY[4] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Not documented | Linear rails on all axes[4] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | TMC2209[1] | Not documented |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 700 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[1][6] | 1200 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim). Sovol's own material acknowledges 700 mm/s as the realistic figure for detailed prints[3][4] |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[1][6] | 40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[3][4] |
| Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s) | <=30 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[1][6] | <=50 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[3] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Planetary-gear direct-drive extruder[1][6] | Planetary-gear direct-drive extruder[3] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | Ceramic heating plate. Brass or hardened-steel nozzles in 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8/1.0 mm[3] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=300 °C claimed[1][6] | <=350 °C claimed[3][4] |
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | 0.4 mm included; 0.2, 0.6 and 0.8 mm optional[1] | Not documented |
| Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip) | Not documented | Brass or hardened steel, buyer's choice[3] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | <=100 °C claimed[1][6] | <=120 °C claimed; Sovol states the bed is AC-heated[3][4] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Powder-coated PEI steel plate[1][6] | Double-sided PEI steel plate[3] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Inductive sensor plus a pressure (load) sensor. An eddy-current scanning kit is sold as an upgrade[1][6][2] | Eddy-current scanning combined with pressure (force) sensing — Sovol describes it as an inductive sensor plus force sensor[3][4] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament sensor fitted, with filament-runout resume; type and location not published[1][6] | Filament sensor fitted; type and location not published[3][4] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Allwinner H616 quad-core Cortex-A53, 1 GB RAM (512 MB + 512 MB), 8 GB eMMC[1][6] | Allwinner H616, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB eMMC, 64-bit[3] |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 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[1][6] | 150 W / 24 V (this is the DC supply; the bed is separately AC-heated per Sovol)[3][4] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper. Sovol publishes the design files on GitHub and describes software, firmware and hardware as fully open source[1][6] | Not named on the product page beyond OTA updates and OrcaSlicer support; Sovol markets the machine as open source[3][4] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 explicitly not supported)[1][6] | Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 not supported)[3][4] |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | Camera listed as fitted by Sovol; 3DJake lists a camera as an accessory. Resolution not published[1][6] | Built-in camera for monitoring; resolution not published[3][4] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Arrives preassembled[4] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Not documented | Power-loss recovery supported; mechanism not published[3][4] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS and others[1] | PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS, ASA, PA, PC[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.
