Extra features The BIQU B1 is an advanced 3D printer with a silent 32-bit BTT SKR V1.4 motherboard and ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, offering DIY interfaces (I2C, SPI, WiFi) and dual Z-axis. Its dual BTT B1 TFT35 V3.0 operating system allows real-time monitoring and multiple printing modes, including G-code visualization effects. It stands out for its BIQU SSS (Super Spring Steel), ensuring easy model adhesion and simplified removal, with the possibility of using it on both sides. It includes a filament sensor, automatically pausing printing in case of filament breakage. The multicolored RGB lights integrated into the hotend allow you to view the printing status even at night. Additional notes include the need for a BIQU-specific Type-C cable and extra interfaces for smart filament sensor and BL Touch. The Sovol SV04 IDEX offers 3D printing with independent dual extruders (IDEX), enabling simultaneous multi-color or multi-material printing without filament waste. It features a 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume, automatic bed leveling, and Titan direct extruders, ideal for flexible materials. Equipped with a flexible magnetic plate, filament run-out sensor, print recovery, and purge buckets for idle filament, it stands out as a versatile and practical option.
Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) NO NO

Conclusion

In comparing the BIQU B1 and the Sovol SV04 IDEX, several key differences highlight their respective strengths and suitability for different 3D printing needs.

The BIQU B1, while slightly more expensive, offers a solid option for hobbyists with its efficient printing capabilities and user-friendly features. It boasts a sturdy 32-bit motherboard and comes equipped with useful features such as a filament sensor and RGB status lights. However, it relies on manual bed leveling, which could be less convenient for users looking for ease of operation.

On the other hand, the Sovol SV04 IDEX stands out with its larger print volume, automatic bed leveling, and independent dual extruders. This model supports multi-color and multi-material printing, making it an excellent choice for users interested in more complex projects. Its direct drive system is particularly advantageous for flexible filament printing, enhancing versatility.

In terms of cost-benefit analysis, the Sovol SV04 IDEX scores higher, reflecting its advanced capabilities and larger build size, especially given its slightly lower price point. The BIQU B1, while capable, may appeal more to those new to 3D printing or on a tighter budget. Overall, for users who prioritize print volume and advanced features, the Sovol SV04 IDEX is recommended, while the BIQU B1 serves as a reliable option for standard printing needs.
