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.

  • Extruder: Dual Gear Direct Drive
  • Hotend: All Metal
  • Auto Leveling: 25 Points

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

If you do buy this printer, check out this guys page for some setup tips, tweaks, and troubleshooting: https://sv06.blakadder.com/
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.

Quote from Dsplashqq :
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.
The Ender S1 is more like the SV01. Are the bed screws getting loose? Maybe use thread lock? I would probably try to fix the issues and add a Sonic Pad to it if it was mine.

3D Chameleon or Co Print, you could also change to the Klipper firmware and add an Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder but that's a lot of tinkering.

Very solid direct drive printer. If you can't swing a Bambu, this is a decent alternative.

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 😉

Any time I try to make a return, "bring it to Kohls" is the only option they give me.
It's not all bad, though, because Kohls tends to give you $5 in Kohls Cash any time to do this.

This seems like a solid price. That's what I paid for an ender 3 many years ago and this is way better printer. Almost as good as Prusa mk3s? I haven't used the sovol sv06 personally but prusas are really really nice workhorses.

Could you enlighten me to the cost of filament for this product and how much you pay on average? I know it depends on what you want to print but let's go with your monthly budget. Thanks.

SV06 Plus owner here. Bought it for about the same price last year through Sovol's own website. Would definitely recommend the plus for the larger print volume. Currently in the process of trying to figure out how to "upgrade" it to Klipper to hopefully get the 2X increase in print speed.

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?
not learning the lesson? continue to tinker with the current one or buy a much better one that can print smoothly. Why would you want to buy another one that is not necessary better?

I didn't know it wasn't necessarily better? Is it not?

$11 per 1kg is a great deal for filament (Although more "exotic" filaments could easily cost your more like $20+ per kg), Keep an eye out (or set an alert) on slickdeals. Some examples of past deals:
I'd say I pay on average about $12 per kg since I don't always get the absolute best deals. . Monthly budget I would think is about $24 since I think I have used up about 2x 1kg spools since I started printing at the end of December. It really depends on how often you print and the speed of your printer so YMMV.

I'd like to know too.

Also, can someone comment on this vs the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro? I upgraded to that from many years of using my original Ender 3 and other than the PEI plate it came with sucks, I've had okay prints with it.

All of their printers are available as a bundle with a spool of filament, for roughly the same price as the 'coupon' version

I just went with the one for the Plus and a 1 kg blue pla spool for $303. I have no experience with 3D printing and this is going to be my first unit to play around with. Seems like they all have pro's and con's and none are perfect. Guess I'll see how it goes Smilie But it felt like the Upgrade for the Plus is well worth it over the base model.
