Is the Sovol SV06 a Prusa MK3 for 1/3 the price?

You would prefer them but actually Sovol ditch the rods in SV07 / SV07+, these rods look fragile, easy to bend

Hi guys and girls, just a CLEAR WARNING from my side: Don’t ever buy anything (directly) from SOVOL3d. The company is just super unreliable and not trustworthy. I wanted to return my printer (Sowohl SV07 Plus) after a few hours of testing - and they are not even answering to my request!
The new Sowohl SV07 Plus is really bad - the cable to the extruder is just lying on the hot bed - the failure rate of the prints is very high - and just be aware that the company will not help you - and they just take your money!
And: They clearly offer the possibility to return the printer on their website - but they NEVER SEND ME THE ADDRESS where i have to return it - they IGNORE every single request to initiate the return!!
Better be warned!

Now you have the Neptune 4 which is the same price with the same speed as the p1p

why do people start prints without using common sense and make sure they have enough filament on the spool for the print job at hand? This is perhaps the easiest thing about 3d printing, it is shown to you every time you slice.

You mention you have sidewinder X1 slicer profile. Do you mind sharing it please?

Hey Angus,
Great review as alway and was a key element in me pulling the trigger on this. But I’m having a hard time with settings especially for the thin elements. Is there a go to set or settings for Cura or Prusa?

Hi Angus,
I love your videos (especially laser cutter safety), but 1 thing has been bothering me, that all 3d print you tubers seem to be doing. Bed levelling. I've seen everyone refer to automatic bed levelling, which is actually, mesh compensation, not bed levelling. Most 3d print manufacturers are also doing this. I just bought the BambuLab X1C with dual automatic bed levelling. But it's not. The bed is driven by a single motor. My old Cyltivate3d beast v1 on the other hand that I upgraded with a Duet2 wifi board, has 3 z axis motors that does do true automatic bed levelling AND then it does a 25 point mesh compensation to account for bumps in the (levelled) glass bed.

Could you do a video to clarify this inconsistency please?

Thanks

PS, I subscribed 😊

Thanks for the video! Do you mind if I used some of the clips on my instagram account? Thanks. Keep the good work 😁

Ender 5 S1 vs Sovol SV06. Which one would you recommend?

im still rocking a cr6-se with cheap upgrades, would you recommend getting the plus version of this as my second printer?

crazy value

loving my sv06, great video Angus, hopefully the community gets behind it, have you made your prusa profile public ?

Hi, where i can download the file for calibration cube maker's muse ? thank you

I had an sv01 and it was solid

Where's the "end of filament mod" ... anyone ?

Would it be difficult to just install a detector for when the filament runs out?

sv06 plus is even better

Hmm thinking of getting this as my first printer, or should I save up for Bambu x1?

Why do one need a filament runoputsensor, except to store a 50mm spare filament, to block the Sensor?

Hello, I hope someone can help me.
I have the problem that I can't print Pla from "Das Filament" with my SV06 :(
After a while, the extruder "scrapes" the filament at one point in such a way that it is finally no longer fed. I had no problems with other filament manufacturers. What could that be?
Thanks in advance :)

any chance you could share your print settings? I am curious about your retraction and flow values because this is where I seem to have issues with this machine. Stringing and dimensional accuracy is just not on par with the other machines

How does this compare to the Kingroon KP3S Pro S1?

Just watch out with sovol support, I have an SV04 and I've had a lot of difficulties getting consistent prints, their firmware sucks, bed offset isn't very consistent but luckily the facebook community is very active and has people that build their own firmware for the machine and like to help. It's a lot smaller than Creality community and mods are harder to find

Angus thank you. I have been debating weather to get a new printer, Prusa, or Ender or another of several on the market. I saw the Sovol SV06 Plus by chance, the price is within range and I had to see how you reviewed it. I watched a couple review vids and I'm sold. I'm not a pro with 3D but I do have high standards of what I need and want out of a machine, and your review solidified my choice.

Very impressive the clearance tests. I can’t believe this did better than the ankermake you just reviewed.

One thing I've run into with inexpensive printers is skew during full bed prints. I print functional things vs. models most of the time. I would love to see more reviews include things like skew testing. I was able to fix it using Marlin's skew correction. Before my sub $300 printer I never gave it a lot of thought, now I do. It was fun to learn building and compiling my own version of the firmware, but I'd rather be printing. :)

Just fyi, sovol is not a replacement for the prusa. I have had nothing but trouble with the company when I tried to get a warranty fulfilled, and I am still unhappy with their service

Noice

It’s literally the exact same setup as an Ender 3 s1

Looks like the Sovol SV06 is listed in Cura 5.3 (if one needs a reference for settings elsewhere)

Been seeing quite a few people in various printer forums having quality control issues with these. Hopefully just a blip but I guess something to bear in mind.

I'm a beginner with a $500 budget looking for recommendations on best overall model for my budget

I sure would like to see a print quality comparison between this bed slinger SV06 and the Sovol cube style SV05. From what I have seen on the web, the cube printers are not performing as well as the good bed slingers and that surprised me.

I've had the SV06 since Christmas. It's my first 3D printer and I love it. In the meantime I have retrofitted a filament sensor and the cooling fan has moved to the back. There are already mods in the scene to print out. For example a filament guide. The Ender3 spool holder fits as well as the Ender3 cover for the back of the display.
Maybe I'll print out a Prusa on the SV06 ;-)

In my experience with more recent low budget printers (for example the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro), the weakest link is becoming the firmware. There is so much 'copying' from Prusa in terms of features and functionality I kinda wish companies like Elegoo, Sovol, etc, would also incorporate the quality of life features found in Prusa's firmware (autoleveling on print start, filament changing, how the menu's are set up and controlled, etc).

All in all, like you observed with the filament run-out sensor and cheaper bearings, I think folks would be generally be more than willing to pay 50 euro/pound/dollar more for such a printer if those minor drawbacks were properly addressed. Printers like this would then really be good value for money.

V-slot has existed for decades.. 8020 has been used in C&A and automotive since the 90s, 00s

I bought the Sovol SV06 as my second 3D printer, it's an amazing printer for the price, it prints great, the auto-leveling works flawlessly, and it was super easy to put together and start using.
It's quieter than my first printer (Mega Zero 2.0), but it is still quite loud, and I tried applying some grease to the metal rods, and it quieted things down a bit, but it still isn't silent.

1mm retraction is VERY standard for a direct drive extruder, and I've never used more than 5mm on bowden driven. Lol.
I use 0.36mm on a direct driver with a bi-metal heatbreak with 0 stringing. You still got stringing.

👍👍👻👻🥂🥂🍓🍓🥟🥟🍌🍌🤣🤣✌✌☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

would you say this is a good printer to start with for 200?

I ordered that printer. It worked once, then firmware upgrade bricked the board and Sovol support is not answering emails or thread. I really regret not going for Creality now. I hope I wont have to create a Facebook account just to obtain an answer.

Bambulab is cancer and should burn in hell

lets be honest crealitys run outs crap and eats half the filament

I’m hyped b cause the Mainboard appears to be the same as an ender 3, meaning maybe btt e3 boards will work. Very curious how fast this thing would be with klipper
