SV08

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

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

It's really annoying that they seem to be abandoning the flying gantry so none of the advancements made here will be able to be ported back to older printers. I don't see them offering an official toolchanger upgrade path now for those units (you'll need to install an INDX or other toolchanger DIY).

The only official mini voron is the 0.2. (and technically the 0.1 I guess) idk much about "engineering materials", but no voron uses a chamber heater. It's not endorsed nor allowed to be discussed(see rule 7 for this sub). Precision/quality is all on you. Build it right and it'll be as precise as yo

A DIY printer is a project first, printer second. A mass-produced printer is a printer first and project a very distant second, if at all. Then there's the whole support-aspect... Supporting an "open product" where the user may've done whatever the hell they want is a nightmare for support desks. Cl

I think buy Sovol if you want to tinker, but you're not ready to build a whole printer yourself. If you just want to print without issues (for the most part) buy another brand, like Bambu or something. I bought my SV08 to tinker with and learn how to modify, and it's given me reason to do so from da

I don't understand it either.I loved the "open source" idea of the SV08, but then I got to know how Sovol actually operates. Therefore, I most probably won't buy another printer from them again.

Sovol used an open source design for its sv08 which means it requires a lot of tinkering and it’s loud and slow and ugly

The electronics in the SV08 are NOT on the level of a Voron - it is a single board computer that is under powered with both processors on the same board. It might work for a while but… I may be a bit biased - I started with an SV08 when they first came out. The only parts from the factory that are s

If you’re going to build a new frame for it you might as well just build a voron 2.4 instead of buying a sv08.
