The Sovol SV06 is a beginner-friendly 3D printer that comes with automatic print bed leveling. The printer also has a dual z-axis and is equipped with a direct drive extruder and an all-metal hotend, so it does not require any updates to work well out of the box. The SV06 is often compared to the Prusa MK3S due to its shared design elements, particularly the use of linear rods. These rods require less maintenance than V-wheels of other printers and allow for faster movement speeds.
The price is close to the best price for the SV06 so far, but since it's sold on Amazon, you can rely on Amazon customer service, which can be a plus in case you want to return a 3D printer.
There is a Klipper Screen upgrade available for the SV06. So if you decide that you want to speed it up to SV07-speed levels later on but want the better motion system of the SV06, you can add the 5" Klipper touch screen.

I purchased this SV06 after reading a recommendation on Reddit [reddit.com] and I haven't been disappointed. I have had a lot of successful prints and very few failed ones (although I haven't tried to print anything big that would take over 8 hours). I wouldn't say that it's been perfect but it has still been easy to tweak and get working right as a beginner. I just did a 5015 fan mode for the hot end [printables.com] this morning and did a couple of small prints and a bed level test [printables.com] and it seems to help things print just a little more smoothly. I also added a Raspberry PI and loaded OctoPrint [octoprint.org] (pretty easy with the Raspberry PI imager [raspberrypi.com]) so that I could print to the device wirelessly without having to swap out the microSD card each time I wanted to print something new

It's not the best deal ever for it, but it's still a good deal.
My Prusas have been workhorses. I built both but did not enjoy it. In hindsight, I probably would have spent extra to pay for assembled, BUT I think Prusa has been left behind a bit. Mainly with cost.
To me, Sovol has been the best value right up there with Bambu. If my P1S had not been down for so long with an annoying error, I'd rank it higher because Bambu really changed the game.
With all that said, I'm in for one of these. Almost as cheap as the lowest price, especially with my 5% back from Amazon card. With the return options and speed of shipping, this is going to be a great option when other printers are down, or even to keep going non-stop.
This or SV06+ are the best value and bang for your buck, especially when on sale. Easy setup and beginner friendly. I also had a problem with one, but I was sent parts twice. Communication was a bit slow, but I got it back up and running.

I've got the SV06 plus and it's fantastic. I even had to deal with their customer service and they were surprisingly good. Their response time was a bit slow because it was clearly a China-based team but that just means they got back to me at night rather than during the day.
I don't disagree. As a PSA if it's sold and shipped by Amazon then you'll have a decent return period and process. If sold and/or shipped by a merchant then the merchant can set some of the return conditions like for this item.

Oh, it was sold and shipped by Amazon. They insisted that because it was a "high value" item, I should leave it unattended for porch pirates and maybe the UPS driver.
Was it over a $1000 item? I've shipped an insured package with UPS and I think if it's over $1000, a UPS employee has to pick it up and scan it in. This does not include UPS store employees. Don't had to be a driver or dropped off at the actual UPS hub.
Nah, it was like a $300 item. This deal comes dangerously close. lol.

I call the ender 3 tinker trash and somehow I can't print with and I need to take a chill pill?
I don't think you need to be so personally offended that I insulted a 3D printer.
The ender 3 is junk. You have to constantly tinker with it ever few prints. That isn't some revolutionary thought on them either. I would never recommend them to anyone.

I have printed close to 200lbs of PLA on my ender. I'm not sure why you need to defend it like it's your child so badly.
The majority of owners will agree it requires tinkering and leveling on a regular basis.
It's trash.
Take a chill pill.

Still rocking my SV01 that I swapped everything out for. The first time I heard the silent board running was a revelation. Still have it but not sure how much more out of it I can get with Klipper. I have their laser head they sold for it and might just covert it.
I use a Vyper now with Klipper but haven't got around to resonance calibrating to get input shaping to work. That's all I really want. A fast ass printer because I have four Anycubic Resins to do all the high detail stuff. I just want to print terrain and models as well as some functional shit (like the DIY 3d scanning rig) with it.
Haven't got the Vyper fast yet as I barely know what I'm doing. Going to buy that adafruit accelerometer to do the input shaping calibration today.
