Thank you for letting us know that this printer is not the direction that i want to go, probably a great printer to learn on but not a intermediate or expert user printer.
Hm. That's not what I intended to convey. Yes, the device screen is pretty simplified, aimed at beginners. The open nature of Klipper and hence the remotely accessible Mainsail / Fluidd interface has all the bells and whistles any advanced Klipper users could wish for. The Speed and build quality of the printer surely targets advanced, long-term users.
One of the bigger issues I'd seen with the SV07+ is that it won't allow any movement on any axis until it has been homed. this can be problematic, like trying to clean the nozzle of previous print leftovers before trying to home it. have they fixed this? I could always disable the motors and force it, but I find that I have to then realign the X gantry for Z, and run another esh alignment
@@gerGoPrint3D Any easy fix is the way CV's upgrades leave the print head raised and the bed moved forward to make it easier to remove the finished print. Could probably customize the g-code to lift the Z high upon finishing a print. So the next time the printer gets used, I crank up the nozzle heat to PLA standard and use that time to clean off the nozzle. (edit: apologies for so many comments, but your videos are quite interesting. Anyway hoping the Sovol and Comgrow engineers put their best ideas together.)
I just bought sv07+ a couple of weeks ago.., should have waited for this one. Your reviews are really good. Bought sv07+ after watching your review only. So thank you for the reviews 😊
The T300 costs more than the SV07+. The SV07+ is amazing value, and has some advantages over the T300, like the dual z drivers and more level bed. It will serve you well for a long time, and you are not missing out on anything compared to the T300.
@a670SV07+ is still my favorite printer, until I get the T300 perfectly fine tuned, the SV07+ is my go-to printer for any precision print job. For functional parts I use my Klipperized SV06+ equipped with a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle. Thanks to the heating speed and overall speed, I think the T300 will eventually take over the SV07+, but the dual z-drivers, the anti-resonance shock-absorbtion benefits of the v-slot POM wheels and the bigger user community still keeps me with the sv07+. You can't really go wrong with either imho. When it comes to price, for $329 the SV07+ is an unbelievable value atm.
@@gerGoPrint3D There was a sale here in the US where the SV07+ was that price. Couldn't resist! I also got the Sovol variety size pack of hardened steel nozzles. After CV's upgrades and a little tuning, it's been fantastic.
@@gerGoPrint3D Hopefully they offer an array of nozzle sizes and hardness grades, I had to modify my SV07+ a fair amount to accept other volcano nozzles.
@@davidconner-shover51 I hope either officially or by the community we will see some kind of a standard nozzle adapter. I think probably the easiest route would be to switch to using the T500 extruder, which besides the nozzle looks identical and hopefully compatible.
I'm not thrilled with this T300. For me there is better at this price. If I read/understood correctly it only has one motor on the Z axis, with that figure it is not justifiable. As always, excellent examination of gerGO PRINT 3D!
I love this printer. You know how hard it was to keep it a secret and not show off all the fantastic traits as I discovered them. It has two Z motors, just a single driver, which means there is no automatic way to sync them, as the SV07+ does. It employes the same top-ram method that the SV06/+ uses, which is far from ideal. But I already implemented the same gantry leveling macro that I published for the SV06/+ a few weeks ago, including a z-marker designed for the T300 specifically. In fact I made the macro for the T300 first, and it worked so well I adapted it for the SV06/+. I must say, because of controller differences, the macro works even better on the T300, and the dial-knob is even easier to access. My next video on the T300 will show this off ;)
Hi gerGO, Really thanks for your videos, got SV07 and T300 so all I need is there.

Make sure to leave the bottom of the printer clear of any table cloth or other things obsructing the air flow. You know I did upgrade the board cooling with a much larger and quieter fan. It might be mandatory in a hotter climate or warmer printing room → th-cam.com/video/_V3vlu-AfcM/w-d-xo.html
@@gerGoPrint3D Thanks for your answer, I think I found the faulty, strange enough but I'm using KPA config (followed your tutorial of course) and just noticed that by default when printing fan is set to 0% so I setup to 100% but later in printing it is set back to 30% so KPA may be driving fan according to board temperature, makes sense, but I'll try less optimistic settings, may be should be better. BTW would be interesting to get internal board temperature on the dashboard to check :-)
@@Charles-op5jy Oh, yes! I too disabled Christian's board cooling fan controls. I only enabled his part cooling magic, which works great. I wouldn't want to risk overheating the electronics or clogging the extruder because of heat-creep just to keep things quieter. I think his main design goal was to keep his printer quiet. Probably he has the printer in his office? For most of us reliability is much more important. I guess I'll need to make an update video on KPA configs, because I've also found some reliability issues with his probe settings... Setting to 3 samples and Median instead of Average will greatly improve accuracy.
@@gerGoPrint3D That strange it happened again, and this time I had Pi and STM32 temperature dislayed, PI never goes above 54°C and STM32 never above 40°C, average CPU load is approx 10/20%, so all sounds good and not really an issue (at least on my point of view) Saw nothing strange in klippy.log so hard to find why it happen it even may be not related to temperature. Anyway I'm ethernet connected on T300 and got 2 IP (wifi and ethernet) so I just disabled WiFi changing wpa_supplicant just in case also. waiting for your updated video, thanks for your great job.
@@gerGoPrint3D just to let you know that the issue looks like CPU load, here the catched message on crash, nothing related to temperature but mainly a too consuming process, did you ever get this one? A Klipper reports: SHUTDOWN MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Timer too close This often indicates the host computer is overloaded. Check for other processes consuming excessive CPU time, high swap usage, disk errors, overheating, unstable voltage, or similar system problems on the host computer.
I am somewhat surprised that the two main vertical poles of the frame are not connected together at the top. Unlike any other printers. Would you say the printer has good frame stability?
This is an absolute tank. It's not budging for sure. With the two profiles mounted to the back of the z columns they are more sturdy than any printer I know.
Why the hard distortion on the GoPro/body cam shots? Good breakdown of taking it out of the box but the distortion was distracting when trying to get a good look.
Haha. They are not GoPro. I wear my VR headset (Meta Quest 3) for true first person view-point. This lets you see exactly what I am seeing while unboxing. With the Go Pro it was always tricky to point it in the right direction, and this lets me have virtual screens around the workshop as I unbox and document.
@@gerGoPrint3D Very interesting, I would include that note once when you first use that type of footage 👍. Another question: What nozzle does it run? Proprietary or standard M6? Or something else. Thanks.
@@MakerBees333Good point. I mentioned it both in the description of this video and in the first video where I used this technique (my previous "Pill jar design" video at 24:37). As for the nozzle, the T300 comes with a 0.4mm nozzle installed, I talk about it at 2:02 when showing the spare nozzle. Thank you for all your feedback on the content!
@@gerGoPrint3D Thank you for the time stamps 👍, I just couldn’t see if the nozzle was interchangeable or if it was a permanent mount. Looking at it with fresh eyes it appears to be permanently attached to the heat-break. 🙃 I wonder if that wasn’t a calculated choice to lower the price of the printer knowing we will have to buy replacements/upgrades from them…
The A1 that is being recalled? This one has standard Klipper unlocked, dust-protected linear rails on all axes, almost 2x as large build volume, dual sided PEI. Yes, with the coupon now costs similar but this price includes shipping! I don't have any hands on experience with the Bambu, but this one's also built like a tank.
@@ulforcemegamon3094 I don't know what experience you have in 3d printing, but the hot bed wiring problems have happened before and honestly I haven't seen so much commotion, but everyone can believe what they want. But I come back and repeat, I prefer a bambulab A1 with AMS than this machine.😉
I recommend the Comgrow T300 over the SV07+ because of the motion system and heat up and printing speed. I don't have any hands on experience with the other two, but especially with the $100 or even the $50 coupon this is an amazing bargain for a top tier bed slinger. You can find the coupon codes in the description.
@@gerGoPrint3D I know I am pretty new to this, but doesn't the SV07+ make most other printers (at least nowadays) look kind of slow by comparison? I was watching a review of the Comgrow T500 and kept waiting for it to get out of first gear. The other thing that tells me printers have traditionally been slow is the small size of common filament reels. The short time in which the SV07+ goes through 1kg filament has me looking for 2kg reels.
@@suzyamerica4679 I think most printers released nowadays are already running on Klipper, so they can print at similar speeds to the SV07+. In case of the T500 the limiting factor is the extremely large and heavy print bed, there are physical restrictions to how quickly this could be moved without having all kinds of layer shifts and motor problems. The T300 is actually capable of printing even a little bit faster than the SV07+ thanks to the lighter bed. But the difference is not that significant. The SV07+ is amongst the fastest bed-slingers. How to be faster? With Core XY printers, where the bed moves in the Z direction and the quick motion is only done by the print-head in the X/Y directions. Sovol is rummored to be working on a Core XY model, possibly the SV08. We'll see 😉
@@gerGoPrint3D Please keep us posted! Your videos are fantastic. I have been learning FreeCAD in tandem with learning the printer .. some people told me it's best to learn how to design for printing .. and I especially loved that pill jar example.
I have to say I was intrigued by first seeing it but that's a no for me on the plastic bed and nozzle setup. Heat and plastic do not work well together.
I hope production units will be better, but even this could be leveled out quite easily. I think the bed is not that hard to upgrade to something more rigid if you want, but the motion system and other benefits are well worth the prince imho.
Personally, I would only deal with com grow through Amazon. First company to ever send me new parts after the first ones malfunctioned and were ruined, then complained to Amazon I returned it in non-original condition. If it wasn't for Amazons return policy, no way I was getting my money back. Just stay away.
Comgrow has ceased to exist as it has merged with Sovol, a company that boasts greater reliability. They continue to offer support for Comgrow printers. My T300 has brought me nothing but joy, and it’s worth noting that this printer was released by the newly merged entity
@@gerGoPrint3D I knew they merged, but I thought it was comgrow that was the parent that remained. So my apologies if wrong. Don't get me wrong the T3 and T5 look beautiful and look like the new ender 3 xz on steroids.
@@Hatemode_NJ It's good that you voiced your concerns and experience, but hopefully the situation have improved in the meantime. If Amazon sells in your country (in many countries they are not present) it is the way to order though buying directly from Sovol is always less expensive due to various deals and coupons that are always available. They have wearhouses in the USA, Canada, EU and UK, so shipping to these regions is quick (and free) and don't involve any customs. When it comes to warranty, most budget 3D printer companies provide replacement parts as opposed to exchanging complete printers because shipping costs are a large portion of their actual price. Shipping the unit back and shipping you a new printer not only diminishes any profit but would be a net loss for the company. They's have to sell the printers at double price to be able to proride full exchange warranty. Besides these are aimed at technically adapt users who are expected to understand the workings of these machines and be able maintain them. If you are willing to pay the premium price of more expensive offerings from BambuLabs or Pruscia those double-triple price tags do includes more traditional exchange warranties.
@@jotizon12able if build volume isn't an issue, you would get more bang out your buck with the A1. Seems the T300 needs more improvements. Honestly, I would go with the Sovol SV07Plus. It's the same printer Gergo has done many videos on.
@@jotizon12able Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the A1, except hearing about the call back that is happening now. I am enjoying this printer now very much, will post much new content in the coming days / weeks
Well, it's a cover in a sense that it sits on a metal carrier and covered by the magnetic surface and the steel PEI sheet on its top. But the "meat" of this "hamburger" is made out of some ABS like ijection molded plastic. You can see close-ups of it in my video.
It is mounted on an aluminum bed carriage, but it's made of plastic, sits on 8 plastic spacers. The large y-stepper is plenty sized for heavier bed, but I think they were able to achieve better accelerations with this ultra light solution. Might also have something to do with AC heating safety, not sure...
@@gerGoPrint3D right but usually when people say bed it’s the actual bed Not important that, just giving you a hard time, hahaha I was thinking a plastic bed weird

If Amazon sells in your country (in many countries they are not present) it is the way to order though buying directly from Sovol is always less expensive due to various deals and coupons that are always available. They have wearhouses in the USA, Canada, EU and UK, so shipping to these regions is quick (and free) and don't involve any customs. When it comes to warranty, most budget 3D printer companies provide replacement parts as opposed to exchanging complete printers because shipping costs are a large portion of their actual price. Shipping the unit back and shipping you a new printer not only diminishes any profit but would be a net loss for the company. They's have to sell the printers at double price to be able to proride full exchange warranty. Besides these are aimed at technically adapt users who are expected to understand the workings of these machines and be able maintain them. If you are willing to pay the premium price of more expensive offerings from BambuLabs or Pruscia those double-triple price tags do includes more traditional exchange warranties.
First
Thank you for joining!
I am new to this and what your opinion, should i get this or go with bambu A1?, thanks
@@jotizon12able if build volume isn't an issue, you would get more bang out your buck with the A1. Seems the T300 needs more improvements. Honestly, I would go with the Sovol SV07Plus. It's the same printer Gergo has done many videos on.
@@jotizon12able Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the A1, except hearing about the call back that is happening now. I am enjoying this printer now very much, will post much new content in the coming days / weeks
The bed is not plastic I’m gonna say it again. It’s a cover lmao. Ya I’m gonna be that guy.
I’m very passionate about this
Well, it's a cover in a sense that it sits on a metal carrier and covered by the magnetic surface and the steel PEI sheet on its top. But the "meat" of this "hamburger" is made out of some ABS like ijection molded plastic. You can see close-ups of it in my video.
yeah I see the plastic reinforcement from the base and cover lol, but idk who cares anyway..@@gerGoPrint3D
the bed is made of plastic? u sure about that
Watch the video. He shows it. At 6:40 you can see the cross hatch injection molded plastic underside of the bed.
It is mounted on an aluminum bed carriage, but it's made of plastic, sits on 8 plastic spacers. The large y-stepper is plenty sized for heavier bed, but I think they were able to achieve better accelerations with this ultra light solution. Might also have something to do with AC heating safety, not sure...
@@gerGoPrint3D right but usually when people say bed it’s the actual bed Not important that, just giving you a hard time, hahaha I was thinking a plastic bed weird
@@gerGoPrint3D idk 🤷♂️ lol
@@DaveO-te1iv I know, but there’s no way to actual bed like what’s the build plate sits on is plastic????
