Comment on Sovol SV08 or Prusa MK4S

Wfh@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

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:

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.
