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?

    They generally review well with the YouTube channels I normally see, but they’re still relatively unproven as a company. I haven’t seen any follow up reviews from anyone who has logged significant time on one, but I also haven’t looked for any to be fair.

    I recommend an SV06 to someone recently based on their interest level in trying out 3D printing and the feature set for the price. I have almost ordered one several times just to see for myself how they print, but I don’t have room for another printer right now.

      Thanks, yeah that’s where I’m at. I need one, but I need one that’s just a little bigger. And their print speed claims seem too high for a printer that isn’t core xy. Hard to argue with the price though. It probably is too good to be true.
