I love my crappy printer, but I'd never recommend it to anyone 😭

The real jerk is people still pretending Experimental Sugar Canes are somehow any more special and reliable, despite their sub being 90% troubleshooting. It's not either or, literally just buy a Qidi or the Elegoo CC to get the same thing for half the money, you don't have to tinker with jack shit.

Is the new Sovol a good option to kick start the Voron journey?

Sovol ain’t no version of a Voron printer. Especially not the M1D. The Sovol SV08, SV08 Max and Zero were inspired by the Voron 2.4 and the Voron V0. Thus they are quite serviceable and upgradable but NOT a Voron so it’s still harder as mods might not work and you’ll have to figure out what does and

SV08 Nightmare - DO NOT BUY!!!

Man sucks you had a bad experience. Personally I love my sovols. I have two SV08, one older and one newer gen. The newer gen fixed the taco bed problem and the shroud popping off. But overall it’s a great printer for the money. Make sure you have the latest updates and profiles.

Is the new Sovol a good option to kick start the Voron journey?

I wouldn't go as far as to tell them to go fuck themselves. Their designs are entirely published on their Github repository, the SV08 is even licensed under GPL v3.0. This is far and beyond what any other companies have made (looking at you, Creality and modern Prusa). That being said, at least the

Is the new Sovol a good option to kick start the Voron journey?

The M1D isn’t a Voron copy, it isn’t even a Core XY. So no, it will not help you learn about Voron printers. The other Sovol printers like the SV08 and it’s different iterations are copies, but not exact, so they might help a little but not much. Sovol does donate to the Voron project for every prin

Bbl labs and pruna user calls $10 working Ender 3 ewaste due to not newest hardware

I have a much faster, much better, much more capable SV08 yet my ender 3 is still churning out functional print after functional print with its .6 nozzle like its still the new kid on the block. It's slow sure but after 20 bucks of fan upgrades it's dead silent and reliable. Easy as pie to repair or

Is the new Sovol a good option to kick start the Voron journey?

No. Sovol is not a Voron. You are probably talking about the SV08, and it's based on the Voron project, but it does not follow the same guidelines.

Im ready!! ...and doubtful. Advice?

I modded my sv08 into a stealthchanger and replaced the mainboard with a btt kraken. The first thing you should upgrade imo is the dinky 150w psu with something like the lrs350-24. I think upgrading the mainboard is worth it because the stock board is cheap af, and you will save yourself from a lot

Is the new Sovol a good option to kick start the Voron journey?

No, I don't think so. Sovol is Sovol, and Voron is Voron. Neither entity is a partner or particularly supports the other (though Sovol does donate to Voron Design for every SV08 sold, or at least they did at one point in time). Unlike the SV08 or Zero that were heavily based on Voron designs, the M1
