The SV08 is marketed as a mass-produced Voron 2.4, with a much lower price and a very quick setup. They even say they donate a small amount to the Voron project for each sale.
Has anyone here bought/tested it? What are your thoughts about it?
Are there some limitations/downsides compared to a Voron?
Is it possible to upgrade it Voron-style (Stealthburner, enclosure etc)?
How would you rate your Voron for regular maintenance and calibration requirements? I got started on an Ender 3 V2 which I have tinkered a lot with. At some point I lost the fun in with the constant tinkering and calibration and simply want a printer that once built is rock solid and relible.
Typically I would say prusa printers fit this requirement but at the same time I really like the amount of options that my klipper installation gives me. Also I kind of want a cube style printer to allow for an enclosure with air filtering which would lock me into the prusa xl as the only choice.
If a Voron is mostly maintenance free it would be a great alternative for my requirements
I have the LDO Rev. C kit, and it is rock-solid. They’re releasing the Rev. D kit soon, and I can only imagine that’ll be even more refined. I printed my own parts using a combination of Phaetus aeWorthy ABS-GF and 3DXTech ABS-CF.
If your printed parts are good-quality, you follow the directions precisely, and stick to the kit (no mods beyond the LDO-provided ones), I see no reason it shouldn’t provide years of trouble-free service.
