Im contemplating buying a printer on a tight budget. I heard Sovol makes good stuff, so im looking at their product line. I have heard that the SV07 uses V-rollers instead of linear rods, that the SV06 uses.
Im comforting with flashing microprocessors and building custom code. My priority list is as follows:
- Open source, both hard and software
- Part availability and software interoperability/ecosystem
- Stability/quality of the build
- Print quality and speed
What do you guys think? Any recommendations? Should i get myself a bone stock SV06 and upgrade it to klipper by flashing, or should i get a SV06 Plus with a klipper display already? Is there something else i should consider?
Very thankful for any advice.
Hey, I’m happy with my SV06 using Marlin + Octoprint for the past few months.
I’d recommend upgrading both the part and extruder cooling fans. Also the factory linear bearings are not great.
All in all, you sound confident in upgrading It, and it’s a very good base budget option IHMO.
