The listing for the Sovol SV08 Max says the hotend can go as high as 300C, but I notice in the Sovol accessories section for the SV08 there is described a hotend that can allegedly go to 400C: ![Screenshot 2025-07-21 151631](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/b/b88a789d78e0d1e6830cee68175cb307a24c1063.png) Is this an upgrade from the standard hotend that comes with the Sovol SV08 Max? ---

Hello, There are several kits available for the SV08, but this one is specifically designed for the SV08 MAX. ---

Right. The question though is whether or not it is an upgrade to the stock SV08 Max hotend that will arrive with your printer, or whether it is the same. The difference is maximum temperature (if real and not a typo) suggests that they are different. ---

When will this upgraded hotend be available? ⬇ from kickstarter comments. ![Screenshot 2025-08-05 at 12.59.56 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/4/44731945409f1721f335fc8ec238fb48fca0e60d.png) ---

What is different in the hot end between the Zero and SV08 max? ---

Based on the Sovol3D online store, I’d say the difference between the Zero tool head and the SV08 Max tool head is $30. 😛 The SV08 tool head looks taller so maybe an even longer melt zone? From the specs, both hot ends have a 50 mm^3/s flow rate, but the Zero has a maximum nozzle temperature of 350 C and (ignoring earlier website misinformation) the SV08 Max has a maximum nozzle temperature of 300 C. Both printers use MK8 nozzles. ---

If the Zero and the max share the same hotend kit why is the max limited to 300c and zero at 350c. ---

Silicone socks can’t go above 300c. It might be that the toolhead would struggle to stay above 300c in the large space of the max. I can test on mine and see if it’ll go that hot
