What owners say
300mm bed and linear rails for [this price] is almost too good to be true. It's not.
SV06 Plus owner, r/3DprintingSolid Ender 3 alternative if you need more bed real estate. Sovol did the job right.
SV06 Plus owner, 3DPrintBeginner (YouTube)Voron performance without spending months sourcing parts and building. Sign me up.
SV08 owner, r/VORONDesign700mm/s is no joke. This thing absolutely rips.

Pros & Cons
SV06 Plus
- +300x300mm bed at this price is 37% more area than the Ender 3's 220mm
- +Linear rails mean consistent layer quality even on long print runs
- +All-metal hotend handles PETG and ABS without heat creep issues
- −250mm/s max speed is slower than the modern budget standard
- −Larger footprint than the Ender 3: measure your space first
SV08
- +Voron 2.4 kinematics for less than the $1,000+ in DIY parts and time
- +350x350x400mm bed handles nearly anything without splitting prints
- +700mm/s is a real number that the machine hits in practice with tuning
- −Out-of-box calibration takes several hours for first-timers
- −QC is inconsistent between batches: some units are great, some need work
Buy these with it
A printer does nothing without these. Grab them in the same order.
- ELEGOO PLA filament, 1kgThe easy filament to start on. Prints at low temperatures and warps less.
- ELEGOO PETG filament, 1kgTougher and more heat tolerant than PLA, for parts that get handled or sit in the sun.
- SUNLU filament dryer S1 PlusWet filament causes stringing and rough surfaces. A dryer fixes that before you blame the printer.
