SV08 Core-XY 3D Printer Voron 2.4 Open Source, Max 700mm/s High Speed 3D Printers with 300℃ Clog-Free Hotend and Camera, Auto Leveling with 4 Independent Z Motors,Print Size 350x350x345 mm

This is my fourth 3d printer (an original SV01 was my first in October 2019 and I should have probably stuck with Sovol) and by far and away the best.The following is based on 110 hrs of printing with a longest print of 10hrs.I've have had one failed print and that was my fault (poor slicing choices)I've been printing with PLA, PLA+ and a little bit of TPUPositives;Build quality and easy of assemblyPrint quality (and bed adhesion - probably the single biggest issue I've had with all my other printers)Build volumeSpeedKlipper (if you've not used the Klipper Mainsail web interface you're missing out)The tolerances for print in place prints are spot on.Not so positives (I'm not calling them negatives as when compared to previous printer experiences they're relative minor)Moving from Cura to Orca Slicer and Klipper is a bit of a learning curve (but well worth it)Occasional printer hangs (fan error reported) during probing before printing has started (and a power cycle seems to clear them better than a firmware soft reset)Need to make some simple printer.cfg changes to sort a very annoying motherboard fan noise (constantly running at 100%)I do quite a lot of multicolour prints which require filament swaps and I've got to say the most problematic issue with the printer is filament swaps. Sometimes they load perfectly and sometimes I need three of four attempts to get the filament to load correctly). This isn't really a problem for single colour prints, but when it's part way through a print it's a concern trying not to disturb the toolhead position. Some people have added a little bit of PTFE tubing between the extruder and the top of the hotend but I've not tried this yet.As with all 3d printers getting it perfectly dialled in is a bit iterative, but the Z-offset and Gantry Levelling menu options help massively.My bed mesh has a range of 0.647 and is higher in the corners, so the first layer in the corners of large prints isn't perfect (it drags a tiny bit)

An excellent large bed printer which has worked flawlessly since receiving the revised hot end (now shipping with all printers).Print after successful print. Very impressed.The mainboard fan is noisy, but easily quietened and if you want to tinker and upgrade there are lots of options.Mine is currently still stock but planning on some upgrades to improve on the all ready excellent base.100% recommend this printer, just take your time and read the Facebook group for hints and tips to get the best out of it.

I can’t even begin to make it clear enough how very disappointed I am with this printer. After 5 full days attempting to set this SV08 up to print consistently and reliably I am ready to simply give up with it. I’ve worked for years with Prusa Mk3s, Raise 3D Pro 2 Plus, and Ender machines, and all I can say is this is the very worst printer I’ve had the misfortune to spend good money on. My only advice is Do Not Buy The Sovol SV 08!The thing arrived damaged with the extruder fan snapped clean off, but having touched base with Sovol support, and having them promise to send me one (within 2 weeks from China!), I decided to give the thing the benefit of the doubt and continue to build and commission the thing.. the broken fan was easily fixed with a drop of superglue in the meantime.However, after 5 days constant attention, and following all advice and guidance from Sovol support, you simply cannot get this machine to maintain a consistent Z-height, and as a consequence it’s impossible to achieve repeatable, consistent prints. The bed cannot be made level, even with mesh bed levelling, the nozzles cannot withstand the kind of temperatures needed to print PETG, the machine restarts and factory resets randomly, there is zero accuracy anywhere across the bed and the bed probe is next to useless and unbelievably inaccurate! Really, a total disaster.I also, fool that I am, bought the enclosure.I will contact Amazon for a refund, but I’ll be damned if I’m spending any more time working on this thing, so I will have to be returned assembled, because I simply cannot spend more hours dissembling the thing.And I now discover I can’t even purchase replacement nozzles in the UK.Really, Sovol, bad, bad job here. Companies cannot keep on accepting hard-earned cash for machines that simply aren’t fit for purpose!

Well packed and arrived quicklyWell what can i say that has not already been said. I have been 3D printing for about 8 years now and can say this is a great large format printer. Took all of 30mins to put together, one of the easiest i have built so far (well apart from the FlSun Q5). and was printing within 35 mins of opening the box. Bed levelling was an absolute breeze and the Z offset was nice and smooth. Now all that being said and really, this is a great printer for its price and size, there is a one big downside to this printer and that is the PEI bed, its rubbish, since getting this printer i had nothing but adhesion issues that at first i used glue to sort out (the only printer bed i have ever had to use glue on), this was not ideal and i really dont like using glue, just find it really unnecessary, and finally found a PEI sprung steel bed that fits from another company that has now replaced the original and ii have not had to use glue since, Sovol please sort this out as i dont expect to replace a build plate this soon after buying a printer (one star lost i am afraid).Great printer, bad bed.
