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:
Open source, both hard and software
Part availability and software interoperability/ecosystem
Stability/quality of the build
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?
A Raspberry Pi Pico 2 will be good enough to run Klipper, so the biggest difference to me seems to be the printing area, the touchscreen and the extra parts cooling fan. I couldn't fit the larger Plus size on my desk, so I just bought the SV06 and intend to replace the stick fan with a single 5015 fan for now.
I also intend to install Klipper, but I mostly intend to use the web app, so the Ender 3-like screen will be fine for display purposes in my case.
In my opinion, get the Plus if you like the big printing volume and can fit it, otherwise the SV06 will save you some money and will leave plenty of opportunity for tinkering and improvements.
