  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)

  The review from The Canuck Creator of the SV08 was not awesome. They may have fixed those issues.

  Can you explain a bit more your context, what you are looking for, tinkering or not, internet mandatory, opensource, etc…

  We have one mk4 in our Hackerspace, 4 x MK3 and 1 x XL. The MK4 just churn out parts from various inexperienced people and seeing more usage than any other machines without failing. All the parts are available to reprint if needed. It’s a good choice BUT it’s expensive and you may want something else.

  I have 2 Vorons at home, works good for me but too complex for my wife to launch a print by herself. So she is more confident to print at the Hackerspace.

  There’s a variety of printers but without knowing more about you, it’s hard to recommand something

  I have just 0 problems with pei. Powder coated pei are the best. Tried garolite but not enough benefits for my usage.

  I thought that you had to pay a fee every year, even for free apps. Something around 100$. Compared to a website, I think that for hosting a static file in a CDN it’s already pretty expensive for most free apps developers.

  Biggest round of cuts since… two years go… So it’s not exceptional.

  Or you buy a kit from a reputable brand

  Heat soak should not change what you have here. During the heat soak, machine expands a little. You will get a more usefull Z / mesh when the machine gets to equilibrium.

  If you still have problems after that, it’s probably a X twisted, see the linked document above. Unfortunately I do not have much time to dig into your configs.

  You have a lot of possible options here.

  • Your bed is ok, mine is 0.6 variation (sad I know)

  1. dish soap with no additives, rinse and dry it correctly before installing it back
  2. Verify that it’s doing this in the good order :

  • Pre-heat bed
  • Home XYZ
  • Bed leveling
  • Re home Z
  • Bed Mesh
  • Start print

  If everything is ok, as someone else said, it’s maybe a X twist.
