So I’ve been looking in to getting my first printer and the amount of choices and recommendations are a bit overwhelming. I’ve seen here and elsewhere the budget printers typically need some tinkering out of the box, which is part of what I’m after so no big deal there.
I was pretty well set on a Sovol SV06 but then I saw the SV07 is only running $60 more with Klipper and now I don’t know. I looked into the Sovol SV06/06+/07, Anycubic Vyper or Cobra, Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro/4/4 Pro, and the Creality Ender 3 Neo. People seem split on Crealitys so not a strong contender there but everything else seems so close in price and specs.
Any advice which way I should go?
I have the sv06 and I do not at all regret buying it, but if I had realized the 7 was coming out so soon I probably would have waited for that. It looks nice. I will probably get one at some point. Or a 7 plus if they make one since I do want a bigger printer
I chose to buy the sv06 still a few weeks ago vs the 7 because I prefer the use of the linear rods vs v-rollers. Its much easier to throw klipper and mainsail on a pi for the sv06 vs upgrade the physical build of the 7 down the road imo
That’s interesting, good to know! I definitely want to get a pi for mine when they are back in stock. I got tired of using the SD card pretty fast so I’m just running octoprint on my windows pc at the moment. I will look into klipper / mainsail in the future
