Thanks for the reply. I’m a pretty capable tinkerer so I don’t have a problem with complexity. I mostly print stuff for my board games, but they go from small to large objects.

In current printer setup, OctoPrint reports to HomeAssistant and I would like to preserve this approach tbh. In other words I don’t need to control but only observe the machine remotely. In cases I need to shut off the power etc.

The reason I want a new printer is, the current one feels very slow and in higher printing speeds it produces botched prints a lot.

The Mainsail front-end for klipper has a Home Assistant integration so you’ll be able to monitor everything the same.

Prusalink has an integration with home assistant as well.

Klipper can have a webserver/api/front-end client. So you should be able to plug everything back to HomeAssistant (if Sovol let it open). On the Prusa Side, I’m not sure that their firmware is that open to be able to plug it to HA, but they have their own system that let you do the same.

My feeling (didn’t used the SV08) is that’s another ender like printer that you need to tinker to make it work and when you want to go another step-up you start to change parts (motherboard, extruder, etc). The Prusa is an already complete machine. On the proprietary side theirs Bambulabs printers too, I think Quidi have a bunch too. Lot and lot of choice :p

Speed is not everything, better have 3 printers than a fast one. A bit like cars, speed -> expensive -> more pricey to maintain (time and/or money)
