This looks right in my price range for my next upgrade. I want a core xy, I’ve been on bed slingers, so this looks good.
Important information needs no excessive words. See the picture. 👇 So, about the early bird price for SV08… ❓ 👉https://landing.sovol3d.com/8XS
This will be cheaper than any voron 2.4 kit + 3D printed parts and also fully assembled? Sounds great!
Looks like they’re quoting a one hour build. Having built a 2.4, let me assure you a Voron build is way over one hour. I haven’t dug through the BOM, but this seems like a pretty solid price point. It also gets some things right that the bamboo didn’t implement (like quad z motors should the need for them arise).
It’s “mostly assembled” in a flatpack. Gantry is one piece, verticals are one piece, base is assembled w/wiring complete, top is assembled. No enclosure panels yet, says they’re supposed to be available “soon after launch”. Just a ton of screws to put in. The frame is custom, purpose built, not the normal 2020 extrusions used in a “real” Voron build.
Oh, I have no doubt it will be a significantly faster build than a Voron!
Voron is not designed to be cheap. So I guess they have done quite a bit of cost optimization in the design.
We don’t know yet if these optimizations are cutting any big corners, but I guess yes.
For example: at this price point you will likely not get a thick aluminum build plate with AC heater, you will not get a high quality hotend, etc…
I only got about 40-ish minutes into Nero3D’s “livestream” (it’s 3 hours long), but so far one of his complaints is that it’s a proprietary “Bambu type” quick change hotend, and not something that takes existing nozzles
