Conclusion |
In conclusion, the choice between the Sovol Comgrow T500 and the Longer LK4 X depends on your specific needs and budget. The Comgrow T500, priced higher, offers a substantial print volume of 500x500x500 mm, making it ideal for large-scale projects. It features advanced capabilities such as a direct drive system, automatic leveling, and a higher maximum nozzle temperature, suitable for a wider range of materials.
