Sovol SV08 3D Printer

This is my second 3D printer, coming from the Anycubic Vyper. And I'm blown away by the difference in performance. Assembly is straightforward, the build is solid, and I was very impressed to get great prints at the default 300mm/s slicer preset speeds. Also Klipper makes it possible to configure pretty much anything.

There is one big problem though: the bed and bed leveling sensor. I'm currently assembling a Klicky sensor and will then proceed to add shims under the bed to straighten it out somewhat. I'm sure that everything will be working well in a while.

I've also closed up the printer with Plexiglas panels and added an exhaust fan. And I might switch to mainline Klipper and a MicroSwiss nozzle someday.

If you're willing to put some time and work into it, the SV08 is a great printer for advanced users. This is probably the best deal you'll get for a high-performance CoreXY printer. And if you need any help, Sovol's support team is first-class!

I got the printer last week and I must say that it is really good. Only problems I've had after printing non stop for 3 days is, that the bottom fan can be really loud (you can fix it in the software). and that the wording of the manual can be poor and straight up confusing at times. I suggest watching an assembly video for clearer instructions.

I have had SV02, SV03, SV04, SV06, and SV06+ before this SV08. I was without words when I printed my first part, the speed was something I didn't know even existed. I have had my user errors, but for the past year this printer is rock solid and worth twice what I paid at first release. I haven't even had to run z calibrate for the past 4 months, I might adjust z when I switch to PETG, but that's really the only time. I can't wait to buy another when a good multi color option is available!

Well made. Packaged well. Klipper is powerful but not a first printer. Not quite a voron but a close facsimile. Prints well with a little prep and setup. Pleased with it so far.

I recently bought this printer and I am happy. In the field of 3d printers you find a lot of critics complaining about this and that. The point is that the wear on the components is higher compared to other tech tools. It is hot, it is fast and there are lots of mass being moved around. Never forget that. And tweaking the system to the own needs is relatively normal.
But so far (fingers crossed) I did not have a lot of problems. At the beginning I used the wrong profile for PLA and that caused some trouble. The only complaint is the deviation in bed levelling. It looks like the measurement is a bit unprecise. So I moved from 2 to 3 samples. Since then it is better.
But that was about it. The printer is very fast. I mean very fast. The prints look very nice and it is a well rounded package.
