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

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

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
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.
