The Sovol Zero is a compact enclosed CoreXY in the spirit of the Voron V0.2: a small cube (~150 mm) packed with linear rails, designed to go very fast. Sovol claims up to 1200 mm/s and 40,000 mm/s² — race-car numbers. It's the range's "little rocket," at a contained price.
An ultra-fast compact, sibling to the Voron V0. Alongside it, the SV08 plays large-volume CoreXY and the SV06 the affordable direct drive. The Zero targets the small, nimble format.
In brief
A small enclosed cube, linear rails on X/Y/Z, "3.0" automatic leveling (eddy current + pressure sensor), air filtration (VOCs), and minimal assembly (near ready-to-run). 350 °C nozzle and 120 °C bed: despite its size, it handles ABS/ASA. Budget ≈ $359.

Strengths
- Speed: among the fastest out there, ideal for iterating quickly on small parts.
- Refined mechanics: linear rails throughout, rigid enclosed cube.
- Technical materials: 350 °C / 120 °C + enclosed chamber → ABS/ASA possible despite the small volume.
- Minimal footprint: fits on the corner of a desk.
- Air filtration: a welcome plus for ABS indoors.
Speed & noise
The 1200 mm/s is a theoretical maximum: in practice, usable speed depends on cooling, filament and geometry — as on any very fast machine. Above all, reaching those rates has a cost: noise. Independent reviews note the Zero is very loud at full speed (fans and accelerations). It's not a hidden flaw, it's the price of performance on such a small frame.
If you print in a living room or shared office, plan to cap the speed (and thus the noise) — you'll keep most of the quality with far less racket.
Limits
- Small volume: ~150 mm, quickly limiting beyond miniatures and small parts.
- Noise: high at full speed (see above).
- No built-in multicolor.
- Klipper/DIY spirit: a little technical curiosity helps.
Who's it for?
The Zero is for those who want a small, very fast machine — express prototyping, miniatures, compact parts — and can live with the noise (or cap the speed). For more volume, see the SV08 or the SV06; for the original DIY spirit, our Voron guide.
A mini CoreXY rocket at a low price: great for fast small parts, provided you accept (or cap) the noise.
