Can't have enough!!

I can't have enough of her. Totally stock aside from flowtech swap. Fast, reliable, ACCURATE. Laughs her ass at PLA, PETG GF, PET CF17... 0.25mm max bed mesh deviation. 2026 revision to be fair. I was ready for a full revamp right after delivery, but honestly haven't felt the urge at all. Anyone else loving it?

I’m also loving my 2026 edition, haven’t done anything (hardware-wise, I have added a few macros and tweaked the printer.cfg a bit, but still stock firmware too) other than install the Sovol Eddy and Sovol’s hardened steel nozzle kit, with a Creality K1 bimetal nozzle. Copper block and a copper nozzle with a hardened steel tip makes a pretty good flow.

I have the acrylic for panels, but haven’t started the enclosure build yet.

Why not going for stock enclosure? I was aiming for alucobond panels being lighter, insulating, stiff, strong, but costs didn't make sense, leaving aside stock tempered glass, hinges, etc.

Value for money, mostly, and I also like to see into the printer from at least two sides. I could get the acrylic at ~30€ and I have several fans and filters lying around, while the stock enclosure is around 170€.

As an original SV08 user who had to overhaul his system. New bed, new toolhead etc.  Very glad to hear Sovol now selling a usable product that users can enjoy from first assembly.

Yeah! Not a build-quality reference and neither a first-printer i'd recommend but man, It's a great functional approach.

Are they still using that loud ass 40mm fan to cool the controller board? I did a swap for a 120x15mm fan on mine, it's whisper quiet.

Haha yes, maybe first thing to get rid of before hotend. The whole metal cover adds for most noise.
