WFH

I have literally printed hundreds of parts, most of them custom made.

From the top of my head:

• a box to transport extra Framework expansion cards
• custom hooks to attach luminous garlands to a tiled ceiling for my wedding
• custom attachments for various devices and tools
• kitchen and bathroom quality of life improvements
• a structure for my Volca mini-synths
• an ergo mech keyboard
• a 100% self designed F1-inspired sim racing wheel (WIP)
• etc.

As a left hander the button is actually perfectly aligned with my middle finger while holding the phone.

Yay for being in a minority, right?

The SV08 is a decent printer if you’re willing to tinker and regularly recalibrate the shit out of it. Sometimes it’s absolutely perfect after THE right calibration move. Sometimes it’s absolute shit and nothing prints properly and/or sticks to the bed and you need to recalibrate it. I’ve found that heat soaking it for at least 1/2h before each print and recalibrating the probe as soon as printing is slightly less than perfect helps a lot.

My takeways:

• Taco bed is a minor issue if you can properly probe.
• It’s FAST and the print volume is excellent
• Everything is automated and/or software controlled so fixing issues can be quite a nightmare if you’re used to all-manual troubleshooting (I come from an Ender3)
• Build quality is OK. It probably needs some costly upgrades to get to Voron-level (Stealthburner hotend, thick aluminium plate, enclosure etc.)
• The DIY upgrades ecosystem seems very active.
• Klipper+Mainsail are amazing

Get a Sovol if you’re a tinkerer and you want to maximize speed and build volume per currency unit.

Get a Prusa if you want a high quality printer out of the box.
