Im contemplating buying a printer on a tight budget. I heard Sovol makes good stuff, so im looking at their product line. I have heard that the SV07 uses V-rollers instead of linear rods, that the SV06 uses.

Im comforting with flashing microprocessors and building custom code. My priority list is as follows:

  1. Open source, both hard and software
  2. Part availability and software interoperability/ecosystem
  3. Stability/quality of the build
  4. Print quality and speed

What do you guys think? Any recommendations? Should i get myself a bone stock SV06 and upgrade it to klipper by flashing, or should i get a SV06 Plus with a klipper display already? Is there something else i should consider?

Very thankful for any advice.

    I have SV06 and I’m happy with it. It has decent build quality and prints pretty well. It isn’t the best printer, but it will be hard to find something better for that price, especially if you buy refurbished unit from their website. I flashed mine with klipper and you should know that it doesn’t like some sdcars. It also doesn’t have runout sensor. You can ask me if you have some questions.
