Comment on Anyone who's used the Anycubic Kobra Pro, what is your experience?
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 year agoFrom your recommendation, I’m leaning towards the Sovul printer. What has been your experience with it, like ease of use, proneness to breakages, or anything else unexpected from the Amazon page?

So I have used the sv06 and had a bit of a run in with the sv07. Both are decent machines with their own quirks. The sv06 needs bearings replaced after 3 months of use at the latest, after that runs perfectly. The sv07 uses v-wheels, and is therefore lower maintenance. They both use the same toolhead design and both print well enough. sv07 is a bit more finnicky with cooling (special klipper command for the big fan) but they are both decent machines. I personally run a heavily modified Ender 3 v2, but currently, the Sovols are some of the best bang for the buck. Right now, I would buy the sv06, change the bearings from day one and that’s it. It is basically a 1:1 copy of a Prusa, and printing replacement parts for it is extremely easy, if anything ever breaks. The only thing it “lacks” is a filament sensor (haven’t had the need for one in the time I have been printing), but that is easily added. Do your own research though. Lost in Tech has some great reviews on both machines.

The SV07 (just now) the firmware almost immediately broke after I put it together, powered it on, started it autoleveleling and the stopped it because it was screeching, and the rebooted it. Now it won’t power on without showing green text, or doesn’t progress past the loading screen, or doesn’t turn on at all. It’s different every time.

What country are you located in?
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Uk. The firmware suddenly resolved itself, but now the y axis (the bed) doesn’t seem to be moving properly, it tries to move off where it can’t, and says ‘out of range’ to moving where it can.
