Sovol SV08 3D Printer - Open Source, Voron 2.4 350 and Klipper Based, Pre-Assembled, 350x350x345mm Build Volume, CoreXY $499

3D The Sovol has the new SV08 on sale for $499, it's a new 3D printer based on the open source Voron V2.4 350 design.

Edit: Unfortunately the Slickdeals system somehow breaks the deal link, for now if you can't open the link just go to sovol3d.com and look for the SV08.

It offers a 350x350x345mm (13.78x13.78x13.58") build volume and comes mostly pre-assembled, requiring only about an hour of assembly time by the user. In comparison, building a Voron 2.4 from scratch typically takes 20 hours or more to assemble, depending on experience.

The SV08 utilizes a "flying gantry" design where the X and Y axes move up and down, rather than the print bed moving on the Z axis. This provides an advantage for large, heavy prints as they do not exert force on the Z axis. All four Z axes are driven independently, allowing for automatic quad gantry leveling to ensure the printer remains square and level.

Of course as it's Voron based the SV08 runs the Klipper firmware. Print acceleration is specified at 40,000mm/s² with a maximum print speed of 700 mm/s. Linear rails are used on all axes. The extruder uses a planetary gearbox and appears to use an all-metal hotend, making it suitable for a wide range of typical filament materials like PLA, PETG, TPU. For ABS you probably want to add side panels first, these do not come with the SV08.

Other features include a built-in camera for remote print monitoring and creating timelapse videos via the web interface, as well as automatic bed leveling and a automatic Z offset calibration.

It's also much cheaper than typical Voron 2.4 kits, which often cost more than $1000, even without printed parts.
