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.

Based on the recommendations and good reviews, I finally pulled the trigger and received my sv06 (non-plus) yesterday. It took some time to do the prep work (assemble, tighten up all screws and belts, put the grease on, level up the bed, adjust Z-level, learn how to convert stl files to gcode etc.), but all efforts paid off at the end - I was able to print the test XYZ cube from the first attempt. After that I also upgraded firmware with Klipper, loaded MainsailOS onto RasperryPi and attached them together via USB data cable (with blocked 5v pin, per instructions).

While my journey continues, for those who interested, I'd like to share two links that helped me a lot:

When? According to this video [youtube.com] in 15 minutes, if you want to. But, I prefer to make sure right from the beginning that everything is good, so probably it took a couple of hours until I started the first print

Since you obviously like to tinker and are using a Raspberry Pi with your printer, I recently created a solution to mount the Pi and power it directly from the printer. Feel free to check it out on Printables.

I bought this a few days ago, having never printed anything before, it took me less than an hour to get this setup and printing, great deal. I have become addicted to printing now and have been running it non stop for the last 4 days or so with no issues, though I never realized how slow 3D printing is (not the printers fault this applies to them all), but the nice thing is you can set it to run and forget about it.

Thank you for the link! After reviewing few options, I've decided to go with the integrated display cover + RPi case (that mounts behind the display):

A discount on the SV06 plus or the SV07 Plus would have been nice. debating if I should purchase the SV06 Plus or go with the SV07 Plus.

The godzilla was decent sized pieces... About 30 hours. 3d printing teaches patience.

These were done with the printer out of the box, did the benchy and decided to just go for it.

See my other post for my first couple bigger projects a week into owning it. Was fairly easy for a first timer
