Hello, I’m looking at getting an additional printer that’s larger format, but faster. I’ve run across the Sovol SV07 Plus which appears to be new. I’m not familiar with the brand and as such was curios if anyone has had experience with them.

What might go wrong with them? (those dual X-axis bars look suspect due to wear)

How reliable are they?

Is there a better option?

    I heard good about sovol. I never owned one, but Im not a fan of wheels. Personally Id probably go for SV06 because it has proper smooth rods. It is smaller build volume, but thats good for rigidty.

    What you mean about dual X axis bars? X axis on SV07 looks like alu extrusion, simmilar to ender 3.

      Indeed, I do need the larger build space for the designs I need to print though, and the 340mm of the 06 is just a touch too small. Regarding the x axis bars, I see that now, I must have stumbled across a different picture yesterday that I can’t find now, because you’re right, I see it has an aluminum bar.

      Thanks for the feedback
