these printers were great then when we HAD to deal with all the tinkering that took a lot of time.
The next gen printers save you a ton of time, and i dont know how much you make an hour, but i doubt you'd want to waste time fixing the machine in exchange for work that pays.
if the bambu came out 3 years ago before i got all the ender 3s, i would have just gone with bambu. thousands of dollars in time tinkering unnecessarily.
need a deal on a 3d scanner or might look into diy options. clear and black pla has been cheap and acrylic paint markers on Amazon are super cool for finishing prints.
printing origami carabiners, USB dust covers, and random storage accessories have been my favorite. the customizer on thingiverse is rad too.
edit: cancelled the pla I ordered with my printer direct from sovol. it was backordered for 2.5 months so far with no anticipated ship date. the provided pla ran great and would have liked more but wasn't worth the wait/price for me. sovol refunded me after 2-3 emails back and forth

The SV07 has returned to Ender-style POM wheels instead of the SV06 printers' linear rails. Also, the bed has the yellow stiffer springs and adjustment wheels folks swap onto Ender 3 printers. The rear-mounted part cooling fan on the SV07 looks novel. Having the built-in under-bed drawers on the SV07 is nice.
It almost feels like getting an SV06 Plus and Klipper-izing it yourself would get you an arguably better printer, and you'll have it sooner.

i got the mole scanner for i think $300?. its back to $500 but i bet it will come down black friday f you cant wait
dont get left in the past with 3d printing. i love old cars, instruments, video games, etc...
3d printing is not something you want to invest in an older generation.
this would be the equivalent of buying a typewriter right now instead of buying an inkjet printer.

This thing will do most things a 3d printer needs to do and its $222. Its an entry level printer. It will be slower. Might need more maintenance. But, it will also teach you the ins and out of how a printer works and still allow you to get pretty good prints. I am glad I got my Aquila because it really helped me understand how they work.
If I could only chose one printer, I would go with the Bambu Labs P1P, but that is also 3x the cost. You need to factor is the cost to performance ratio of this deal.

if this was a year ago, i would not give this deal any flack. but as someone who prints to sell, and has invested a lot into these fdm/sla printers ( i have 6 printers and the creality belt many don't have due to its complex alignment)(i print body kits at a high margin so tinkering with this belt is worth the time to me)
3x the price sounds terrifying but it equates to $400.
if you can make $400 a day or two, which many do here. it is not much money to hold out on.
the countless hours you will spend tinkering on a old creality or this sovol or any past gen machines will not be worth the hours you give up...IF you make around $100+ a day.
If you made $100 a day. holding out 4 days of work for an investment into a next generation machine that will not only make you money, but save you tons of time.
the old gen machines NEED A LOT OF UPKEEP. that equates to a lot of time you have to invest into these old gens compared to a next gen.
all i can tell you is, if you have sold prints for over long duration. you will see the time adds up.
bottom line is my best advice for printers - buy the one that works for your purpose. many people aren't printing to sell and only want to print very few things for hobby. this is a great printer for you. although the ender 3st on sale at $200 is far better and it will come down to this as a normal price soon.
i really mean to share this with the utmost respect, and care for others who may want to save time from my experience.
i've lost a lot of time/money off my personal job to tend to prints messing up and it can kill a whole day easily. I lose so much money from my work to fix this. i realized it is costing me money to 3d print for customers. IT IS INEVITABLE for prints to mess up without an auto alignment system or AI stop detection.
purchasing equation
how many days does it take you to make $400?
1-4 days?
If you only made $100 a day = it will take you 4 days to cover difference to buy a bambu
If you want to learn about the raw mechanics of a 3d printer. I highly suggest buying a used ender 3 and upgrading and printing everything.
i get perfect prints out the box every time. so even with that experience, you will have time wasting issues.

The biggest problem I had early on with the Ender 3 was the lack of consistent and reliable Cura profiles. Once Cura (and other slicers) started providing factory profiles and configurations included with the software, along with the software itself advancing with new features, out of the box printing with the Ender 3 and all its clones was pretty commonplace. All of the tinkering and upgrades people did to these printers were not entirely out of necessity but to wring out extra performance from an inexpensive printer.
I also lust over the BambuLab printers and would love to have one in the future, but at the current price, I just can't justify it. I still use the Ender 3 frequently and also have a Voxelab Aquila that prints everything I need for now. Having two inexpensive printers has been useful for cutting print time in half on multi part prints. Once you get the two machines' tolerances dialed in, it's very easy to send jobs to both printers and just let them run.

that is $1500 worth of work i took off to work on the ender 3s. i chalked that up as a business loss
i have not wasted any time with a bambuu yet.
i hope people calculate this foresight that i didn't when i started my 3d business
