| Property | Sovol ZeroCOREXY | UniFormation GKtwoRESIN |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Sovol | UniFormation |
| Class | COREXY | RESIN |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Sovol Zero 3D Printer[1][2] | UniFormation GKtwo 10.3" 8K Resin Printer[3][4] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $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[1][2][5] | $749.99 on uniformation3d.com but marked Sold out, checked Aug 2026 (the page shows a compare-at price of $0.00, i.e. none set)[3] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | 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[1][5][6] | UniFormation lists GKtwo variants by region and bundle (GKtwo ALL, GKtwo ALL UK) rather than by hardware, so the hardware specification is common; what changes is what ships in the box. Not to be confused with the earlier GKone[3] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 152.4 x 152.4 x 152.5 mm advertised[1][5] | 228 x 128 x 245 mm[3][4] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 345 x 420 x 475 mm[1] | 350 x 315 x 455 mm[3][4] |
| Net weight (kg) | Not documented | 20 kg packaged (UniFormation publishes package weight, not net weight)[3][4] |
| Frame construction & material | Full linear rails on all axes; CoreXY with two motors sharing the moving mass[5] | Not documented |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed[5] | Open-frame MSLA with a UV-blocking cover[3][4] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[5] | MSLA — photocuring LCD, single Z axis, straight-lift peel[3][4] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Linear rails on all axes[5] | Not documented |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 1200 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim). Sovol's own material acknowledges 700 mm/s as the realistic figure for detailed prints[1][5] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 40,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[1][5] | Not documented |
| Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s) | <=50 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[1] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Planetary-gear direct-drive extruder[1] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Ceramic heating plate. Brass or hardened-steel nozzles in 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8/1.0 mm[1] | Not documented |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=350 °C claimed[1][5] | Not documented |
| Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip) | Brass or hardened steel, buyer's choice[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | <=120 °C claimed; Sovol states the bed is AC-heated[1][5] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided PEI steel plate[1] | Not documented |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Eddy-current scanning combined with pressure (force) sensing — Sovol describes it as an inductive sensor plus force sensor[1][5] | Not documented |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament sensor fitted; type and location not published[1][5] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded Linux | Allwinner H616, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB eMMC, 64-bit[1] | Not documented |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 150 W / 24 V (this is the DC supply; the bed is separately AC-heated per Sovol)[1][5] | Not documented |
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | Not documented | 110/220 V[3][4] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Not named on the product page beyond OTA updates and OrcaSlicer support; Sovol markets the machine as open source[1][5] | Not named. Slicers: CHITUBOX, the GKtwo slicer, and Lychee. File format STL[3][4] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | Not documented | 5-inch touchscreen (control panel — not the masking LCD, see W1)[3][4] |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Ethernet and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, WPA2 only (WPA3 not supported)[1][5] | USB file transfer[3][4] |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | Built-in camera for monitoring; resolution not published[1][5] | Not documented |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Arrives preassembled[5] | Not documented |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Power-loss recovery supported; mechanism not published[1][5] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS, ASA, PA, PC[1] | 402.5-405 nm photopolymer resin. No closed compatibility list published[3][4] |
| Independently Measured Performance | ||
| Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers) | Not documented | Printing tolerance +/-0.1 mm for lengths up to 100 mm, +/-0.1% beyond — a manufacturer specification, not an independent measurement[3] |
| Resin & MSLA | ||
| Masking LCD | Not documented | 10.3-inch masking LCD, 7680 x 4320 px (8K), XY pixel pitch 29.6 um (manufacturer specification)[3][4] |
| Light source | Not documented | Photocuring LCD light engine at 402.5-405 nm. UniFormation does not publish the LED count or optical design on this page[3][4] |
| Layer exposure times | Not documented | 2-3 s per layer at 0.05 mm layer height (manufacturer figure — one of the few makers here that states the layer height its exposure figure assumes). Sortable value is the midpoint[3][4] |
| Layer height range | Not documented | 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 mm (three discrete settings, not a continuous range)[3][4] |
| Resin vat & feeding | Not documented | Resin vat capacity 0.7 kg, with built-in resin heating: UniFormation quotes warming to 95 F (35 C) in 8 minutes from 50 F. No auto-refill and no level sensing published[3][4] |
| Fume extraction | Not documented | Built-in odour filter[3][4] |
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.
