Description
Sovol SV06
The Yeh:
This 3D Printer is Open Source and has a strong community of users behind it
This 3D Printer comes mostly assembled and is simple to put together
This 3D Printer packs an unmatched price (very low)/performance(medium) ratio in the industry
This 3D Printer is based on the very reliable workhorse the Prusa MK3
This 3D Printer has auto bed leveling which will make your life so much easier
The Meh:
This 3D Printer has a build volume of 220x220x250 - which is a 'medium' build volume
The overall speeds the printer pushes are OK, there are higher performance printers (at a higher cost) on the market.
The Verdict:
This is a fantastic first printer or upgrade from an entry-level printer. The price is fantastic for the performance.
Some details from SOVOL:
All Metal Planetary Dual Gear Direct Drive Extruder
- Easier filament feeding
- More stable & precise printing
- 7.5X torque motor
- Upgraded dual gear direct drive extruder
300℃ High Temp All Metal Hotend
All metal Hotend Setup makes it possible to print up to 300℃. You don't need to deal with PTFE replacement anymore, and even no need to flash the firmware, you can print with different materials better and more easily, and makes your prints more amazing. If you want to print over 260℃, we recommend that you buy an insulation tent to achieve a better effect.
Fully Open Source
There is a very large ecosystem of users who have made modifications and custom designs for this 3D printer. We appreciate the open sourced nature of this printer.
- Step files available so you can design your own modifications easily
- Stl files for printable parts available
- Firmware source code
I3/Linear Rail Structure
Different from most 3D printers run by wheels in the market, SV06 has a classic I3 structure that avoids wear and tear of wheels and multiple replacements and it is widely applied in the industry. We did something new to make it more applicable for household use. Modular design allows you to assemble SV06 within 5 steps easily.
All Metal Planetary Dual GearDirect Drive Extruder
Sovol self-developed All Metal Direct Drive Extruder with a planetary dual gear set, provides SV06 with a higher drive ratio and a lighter motor, helping to achieve more accurate extrusion. Add a large external knob for easy feeding.
300℃ High Temp All MetalHotend
All metal Hotend Setup makes it possible to print up to 300℃. You don't need to deal with PTFE replacement anymore, and even no need to flash the firmware, you can print with different materials better and more easily, and makes your prints more amazing. If you want to print over 260℃, we recommend that you buy an insulation tent to achieve a better effect.
25-points Auto Leveling
With an inductive sensor, accurately detects the metal print bed through 25 points automatically and compensates for the unevenness of the heated bed. The fast, smart, precise detection and compensation help you to get the bed leveled perfectly and get a fantastic first layer.
Note: Set the height of the initial layer to 0.3mm when you slice that would help you to print a better initial layer and make the filament stick to the plate better.
Double-Sided PEI Build Plate
The SV06 flexible PEI-coated build plate with mesh surface design makes the prints can be removed easily without any tools. 220*220*250mm print size, enough for daily use and household use.
Dual Z axis
Dual Z-axis screws and stepper motors improve the accuracy and precision of the nozzle’s vertical movement with a specified Z-axis accuracy of 0.001mm.
32-bit Silent Mainboard
32-bit Silent Board with TMC2209 driver, makes the printer work stably and quietly. Self-developed UART mode is available so that more modifications can be done easily for advanced users (Not recommended for beginners to modify).
