Active chamber temperature control enables reliable ABS, ASA, PA, and PC printing without warping.

CoreXY speed and precision

500 mm/s print speed with Bambu's vibration compensation delivers fast, accurate prints.

Sovol SV08

Voron 2.4-inspired flying gantry

7 linear rails, 4 independent Z motors with Quad-Gantry Leveling, and a flying CoreXY gantry — the core architecture of the Voron 2.4, pre-assembled and ready to print.

Full Klipper ecosystem out of the box

Ships with Klipper pre-configured with Input Shaper, Pressure Advance, adaptive mesh bed leveling, and Obico remote monitoring — no configuration required to start printing.

350×350×345 mm build volume at 700 mm/s

One of the largest open-frame CoreXY build volumes at this price tier. The AC-powered bed heats quickly and handles ABS, ASA, PC, and PA with a 300°C capable hotend.
