Sovol has a Valentine's Day sale where you can get the SV06 3D printer for $239 with free shipping. Also, when you open the Sovol website, a lucky wheel pops up that always gives the same coupon codes. The
$5 off $200 code Q15C works for the SV06, bringing the price down to $234 (the $5 off $100 code FP55 somehow doesn't).
There are quite a few tests of the printer on YouTube.
The SV06 looks a bit like the Prusa MK3S, with a similar design that uses linear ball bearings. It also has automatic bed leveling, a dual Z-axis, a direct extruder with gear reduction, and an all-metal hot end that allows for higher print temperatures needed for some types of filament such as nylon.

There is a TON of info in the FB group, and on the Sovol subreddit.
Because of these reasons, I would buy it knowing you may have some things to sort. Also, I'd buy from Amazon. Its about $30 more, but ships much faster, and can be returned no problem.
People have REALLY been complaining that Sovol has non existent customer support, and are really bad at returns. Peace of mind and faster shipping may be worth the extra cost at Amazon.
And historically this has been cheaper. $199 at one point, and was available for months on the Sovol website for $229. This is not necessarily a gotta have it now hot deal.

Again, anyone interested do your research. I do have the printer. Its a great printer. It required quite a bit of work, really needs replacement bearings, needs a full lube, and if you get lucky the bed level will work and you will not have a majorly warped bed. That seems to be a crap shoot currently. I expect refurbs to show up soon if everyone returned these who said they did.
Not bad, but do not expect much out of the box.
I guess it depends on where you are at in life, you may have a bit more disposable funds available to you at your age than others do. And props to you! I hope I am able to make it to your age, and if I do, I hope I am still involved with tech like you seem to be! Awesome!
My father is in his 60s and still cant even really figure out the internet lol.

the 199 price was part of an early bird deal if I remember correctly.
