  I had a K1 Max I got directly from Creality in October.

  It would print ASA okay, but PETG and PLA failed like 75% of the time.

  Switched to a Sovol SV08 with a cartographer and I can’t remember having a failed print since. I print almost exclusively in PETG now.

    Is the SV08 firmware fixed?

    Last checked in on it shortly after launch and the verdict was that the Klipper config is half-backed.

      I flashed to mainline shortly after getting it. I didn’t have any issues with stock firmware, only swapped because if the cartographer.

      If you don’t mind minor amounts of tinkering to get it good, it’s been great since switching to the Cartographer.

    In what way did they fail?

      Terrible bed adhesive. Cleaned the bed multiple times. Tried with and without glue sticks. It had over 2mm of deviation.

      Prints would always warp on the right side where the aux fan was blowing on them.

        I guess I’m lucky… My bed has <0.6mm deviation. I’ve had it for a couple of months printing almost every day and my biggest issue is an occasional layer shift.
