Comment on Is a Voron 3D printer worth it??

I know the beds are worse, apparently almost all of them. Sovol chose to change the Voron reference design to be cheaper and it’s just not held down right, so they exhibit beating degrees of “taco” a way inconsistency that the diagram accentuates visually. Mine has a corner that seems to be about 0.4mm too high, and the rest is a bit wavy to lesser amounts. This is the main reason I set it to redo its z offsets before every print.

The Sovol doesn’t use standard extrusion profiles so it’s less moddable, it’s hot end is not completely standard, and it uses injection molded parts in places the Voron uses 3d printed parts (that last may be be an advantage, lol). The Sovol also doesn’t run a completely clean version of Klipper. I think it’s set in a way to make it work a little better with their cheaper BOM.

It’s big and fast and Voron-like, but it’s just not a hand crafted super printer like a Voron can be.
