SV08

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.

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

Voron is hardcore project in many areas. Requires time, observation and total commitment. Understanding you’ve got high bar, consider an SV08. Solid machine, Voron-based with full potential to reach absolute hardcore performance.

Honest question, why not use a sovol tool head? I have the zero which uses a CAN board and has an eddy on it. It prints like a charm. I’m relatively sure there’s an official upgrade for the SV08 that brings it up to the same style (I think maybe the max uses the new style too).

I started with a mk3 long ago and purchased an SV08 about one year ago. It’s still working well in its standard configuration. Some things are not perfect, some things could be a little more polished.But I don’t consider myself a tinkerer when it comes to my 3d printer and I’m still quite happy with

Core One! While I’m sure the SV08 is tuned decently, my Core One has been perfect. I have a Voron 2.4 for tinkering, and will likely build a trident for INDX.

It has already been confirmed that the M1D will be kept open source, both hardware and software. Sovol has a very good track record with that, not only SV08 and Zero, but the whole SV06 lineup and SV07 to my knowledge. I agree, it's not a Voron by any means, but out of all the 3d printer manufacture

Well you're certainly never going to beat the upgradeability of a Voron. But in most other ways... It sounds like you want to go with the SV08. Particularly with your desired price point and hopes for something relatively plug and play. I went straight from an Anycubic i3 Mega S to building a 2.4 St

The SV08 isn't a bad bit of kit, it's just cut some corners on cost with a proprietary approach on some things. Most folks will upgrade the hotend or entire toolhead and go mainline Klipper, maybe add a beacon. But out of the box? Absolute bargain.

If you want to print bigger than the C1, that's your reason for not buying another one. If you want bigger, take a look at the Sovol SV08 or SV08Max. Based on Voron designs, very customisable. Add an enclosure, toolchanger, whatever. A ton cheaper too.
