The Sovol SV06 3D printer is available on Amazon for $189.24 instead of $249 with a 24% coupon code:
"Sign in to redeem. Save 24% promo code: SOVOLSV06"

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.

Technical details:

  • Extruder: Dual Gear Direct Drive

I have this Sovol SV06 printer. I got it for Christmas last year (2023) and I had zero 3d printing experience prior to owning this, so I've had it for like 1 month now and my super short review is that I like it and find it easy to use and would buy again.

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

OP literally said it's close to the best price for this model but comes with the added benefit of being sold through Amazon so you're dealing with their return process.

It's not the best deal ever for it, but it's still a good deal.
I have two Prusa MK3S+, two SV06+, and Bambu PS1 and A1 w/AMS. I started years ago with an Ender 3 Pro that I tricked out. I loved that printer, but I tell people to stay away from it unless they LOVE tinkering as much as the idea of printing.

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.

Once again - you're reaching.

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.
Lmao this is the dumbest take. You printed 200lbs of PLA on trash? If it was really trash, you would have thrown it in the trash.

I didn't say it's not a tinkerer's machine. I said it's not trash.

Anyone knows if both Z synchronized in any way? Or perhaps there are two endstops? If neither then it is a pain to realign every time.

I got one of these a few weeks ago and I've been very happy with it. I'm surprised how well it works and how many features it has at this price point, it's been an almost turnkey solution.

Read the negative reviews about heat problems. One is:

"...I would say that the part cooling and hot end fans are insufficient, but a simple 5015 blower upgrade with printed parts will take care of that...."

Other mentions of motherboard overheating, and nozzle Temps dropping.

I don't know the merit of these complaints, but reading up on them before you buy is smart. Many times putting in a mod right off the bat gives smooth sailing.

Quote from Pinako :
I don't know, but it seems Amazon's return process is getting worse all the time. I tried to return something the other day and UPS pickup was the only way. And of course my friendly neighborhood UPS only picks up during mid-morning, when everyone else is also out working. It took multiple calls to Amazon customer service to get a mailing label for UPS dropoff, and even that was a sketchy hack. It's almost as if they didn't want you to return stuff 😉

I suppose it is a "devil you know" situation, then. It's not as easy as it used to be, but in my experience it still beats having to take pictures and submit an essay about why you want to return an item and still potentially get denied an RMA.

Any time I've had to return something to Amazon, I print a label at home, retape the item's box that evening and take it to the hardware store in town that is a UPS drop off location. I can drop off the package any time the store is open and it gets scanned in for pickup immediately which usually means I get my refund the same or next day when the driver scans it in to their truck.

I realize that this isn't available to everyone given their locale and schedules, but the drop-off location takes care of the anxiety of having it stolen by porch pirates.

Is this easier to print with than my ender 3 v2? I just can not get the initial prints to stick to the bed. It worked great out of the box. The autoleveling does seem to get close to print ready and im just kind of tired leveling the bed. DOes this autolevel better?

If you are still using glass, upgrading the bed to PEI will help with first layer adhesion alot.

You got 2 downvotes for saying that. Don't know what the world has come to.

The Ender 3 V2 (the original one, not the Neo) has no auto leveling, a Bowden tube extruder and a glass printbed. The SV06 or a newer Ender 3 V3 SE are easier to print with regarding these aspects. You just need to fine adjust the Z-offset.
However if you already have the Ender 3 V2, you could buy a 3D Touch sensor and a PEI sheet for around $20 and upgrade it. There are countless of videos showing how to install the auto leveling probe on your printer.

Sorry for making you type that but mine is actually the 3 v2 neo. Im guessing the offset is off and needs to be redone. Just weird that it works great then just sucks. heh

I bought this direct from Sovol around xmas time for the same price. Shipping was 2 weeks. Anyone that buys this, make sure you go around and tighten and grease everything. Some people claim that Sovol does not even grease pack the bearings.

Besides all that, it is a great printer for a beginner. You can upgrade to the Klipper screen if the speed is too slow for you.

Cleaning the print bed and adjusting the Z offset should do the trick then. Print a first layer test and visually inspect how the first single layer looks. If there are gaps between the lines or it doesn't stick at all, the nozzle is too high. If the surface is rough, the nozzle is too close.

Thoughts on this vs an E3 S1? I have the E3 S1 currently and I'm plagued by layer ringing and constantly needing to re-level even tho I've replaced all the screws with silicone spacers. When it works, it's great, but when it doesn't, I wish I still had my E3Pro. At least with that I didn't have to disassemble the whole hotend to clear a jam.

1.75mm PLA, PETG, Nylon, TPU, and ABS are probably the most commonly used. PLA and PETG used most often of those due to their ease of printing and relatively safe off gassing (ABS printing releases toxic fumes).
