@@petercallison5765 Yeah, so many people who are just getting into printing definitely associate the Ender 3 Pro as THE entry level printer. And to be fair, that community surrounding Ender (and it's clones for that matter) have helped develop the community into what it is today.
@Lost In Tech Hello, thank you very much for the useful Information for 3d printing you share with us on TH-cam. Could you please recommend me, which 3d printer is better in printing large objects like Star Wars helmets for example, how about flsun v400, ender 5 plus or the smart pro version. I know from your review video that the v400 is very fast, but what is about quality printing ? 😅 The printer costs more than my regular monthly salary, that's why I am asking for your recommendation 👐
Bought the SV06 and am blown away as a first printer. I just missed the $199, but did get in on the $239 deal. I am very pleased that I went from box to the start of my first Benchy in under 25 minutes. The result (using the unidentified sample PLA provided) was astonishing since I did nothing but the Z axis setup and bed leveling. My only nit right now is the lack of regarding materials and best settings for those materials. For instance, my Benchy above printed at default ssettings with an extruder temp of 185C and a bed tep of 60C. Those same settings with PLA from SUNLU and Polymaker failed after 4 or 5 layers - even the surround started sliding around amidst the spaghetti that ended up being produced. I'm more than happy to experiment, but having at least a starting point as a reference would keep me from throwing away 250G of rat's nest in experimentation. I picked up 3 different brands of PLA and I wish that Sovol had a bit more "Prusa" in their tech team regarding that type of info. Thanks for sharing your experience. And the released model is much less rough around the edges than your Beta.
I purchased the Sovol SV06 based on your review and the availability. I was looking at the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro based on your review as well because of TPU print quality, but they were sold out and I really liked the features you mentioned about the Sovol better. With this being my first 3D printer ever I was wondering if you will make the TPU profile available? I would like a starting place when tuning my TPU profile so that I don't accidentally break anything right off the bat lol. Also, thank you for all of your great videos in general! I have learned a BUNCH from your channel, and I am excited to start my 3D printing journey!!
Thank you for simple and clear the review. I suggested the sv06 to my nephew as his first 3d printer, being easy to assemble and not having to deal with the v wheel adjustment i think will make a perfect first printer to learn on. Cheers!
this is promising. I used the vertical axis crash on a TRONXY. It sounds awful, but it works. Honestly very happy to see it on a dual Z motor printer out of the box.
Just ordered the S6. TY for giving the link in the description. Purchased a Prusa Mini when first released and spent 2 years battling problem after problem and spending hundreds in replacement parts. Bought the Crux 1 and it was less expensive and way better built. This stopped me from buying the MK and always wanted one. This may scratch that itch. Thank you for the heads up on this one. L8R
I love the screen because it still works after converting to Klipper! Mine has been upgraded with a Bondtech CHT 0.4 nozzle and a 5015 part cooling fan for "them high flowz". With the full suite of Klipper tuning: pressure advance, input shaping, skew, etc; it prints PLA fine at 200mm/s speed and 3000mm/s2 acceleration. I'm still not done with the tuning, I have to still determine the precise maximum flow rate with the CHT nozzle and try and push the speed and acceleration a bit further. Right now I tested up to 20mm3/s with CNC Kitchen's static test and it doesn't skip at all.
Great video as always Seams like a chap Prusa i3 copy. Same solutions as Prusa, with updated stepperdrivers. Great choice 👌 Thanks for sharing your expirence with all of us 👍
great video and appreciate telling us what you reviewed versus what the production unit will be! Asthetics aside where it looks like the love child of an ender3 and "that other notable printer", it looks like a serious competititor in the budget lineup for sure.
Great review! I own the SV01 (not the Pro) and am very happy with the prints. I'm considering upgrading with the BLtouch and silent board, or replacing with a SV06 plus. What's your opinion?
Hey man, great video! Right now the SV06 and the SV01 Pro are the same price on Sovol's website. Which one would you recommend? I know the SV01 Pro doesn't have an all-metal hot end or the conductive leveling, but it does have a larger build area and filament sensor. This would be my first printer. Thanks for all the help!
They're both really beginner friendly printers, so I would say unless you plan to print 230c or hotter, choose whichever you prefer the look of! Also, the SV01 has the optional metal hotend upgrade when you get a bit more experienced.

I think this is because the only people watching them are people who are in the market or people who just want to know what's out there.

Hey, today I have tried to print a large model. But regardless what if have tried i couldn't get it to print properly. After only a couple of millimetres the extruder "failed". The filament every time was screeched up so that the extruder wasn't abel to push it any more. I have cleaned my hole hotend and changed the nozzle but it wasn't clogged. The weird thing is that if just printed a big model yesterday and everything went fine. I hope you have some advice for me or maybe know what my mistake is. Sorry for my bad English Best regards from Germany
That could be a lot of things - it might be your retraction is too high causing heat creep, try 0.5-0.8mm. Failing that, check out our discord where we should be able to help you further
I really really wish I'd watched this before I got TPU stuck in the extruder on mine, I had absolutely no idea you could access the planetary gear like that, I had to fully disassemble the hotend. That was a huge pain
Thinking of buying my first 3d printer and this and the Neptune 3 are so close to eachother. I truly dont know which one is better to buy. Neptune is a marginally bigger build volume but this has better hardware imo
How does it compare to the SV04? Is it right to say that the SV04 is a SV06 with IDEX possibilities or are there some downgrades from the SV06 to the SV04 (Extruder, Cooling, TPU usability, ...)?
@@LostInTech3D I have a shark v2 and a QQ-S pro, I feel the need for a direct drive printer that's affordable but also an improvement in more than just the direct drive itself. 🤔
You can always add textured pei sheet and a all metal hotend if you need the build volume. I mean need and not want. But you need a pei flex plate for the sv01, its polycarbonate build plate will fuse with petg
Weird how nobody knows that, and yes. There is a plug on the hotend for a filament sensor which is wired back to the board but not plugged in. I don't know if sovol plans to release the filament sensor themselves.
A bit weird that they'd use the mechanical version of G34 when they have a probe. But I guess that if the machine is built truly square, you can use that and the mesh to really properly tram your bed, then.
I saw this the other day on another channel and was intrigued by it. Love the design just not the Robin egg blue colour. Really tempted to order one, but the TPU could be a problem down the road. I've had an Ender 3-V2 for close to 2 years with stiffer springs, CR-Touch, and a few printed mods. I have a love/hate relationship with it, it can't bridge to save it's life, but does produce good prints most of the time. Debating between upgrading to a DD extruder or just buy a new machine and hope it does what I need.
Nice little blue thing. Unbeatable in its price range. I went through the description looking for your TPU settings, only to find no bananas for scale. Please advise.
i´ve ordered it within the early bird price . I have two printers, but this one is one of playing around with special filaments. I always be curious about new printers in the budget series to find out, if they can handle more difficult materials, than a more expensive printer..
the only deciders on what a printer can and can't print is the max temperature, PTFE or not, and whether the extruder handles TPU well. But you certainly can print difficult materials on cheaper printers.
I got a question. I got a brand new Ender 3 s1 pro and the Y motor skipped. The belt is good and the Y is nuclear hot. Was wondering if you could do a video on how to properly set Vrefs specifically on that printer, or on any Ender 3. Stock board as always, another great video and thank you for your timing consideration
I am actually pretty interested in this model. I currently have 2 Anycubic i3 mega’s with E3D Titan Aero extruded upgrades. They run really well at 100mm/s (50mm/s for external perimeters) with acceleration of 3000/1250 on the X & Y. The print quality is really good but the Anycubic design has some issues. I can’t see why an i3 clone like this couldn’t manage the same. I might look into one of these next time I need to add a new printer 🤔
I don't run Marlin on my printers anyway and touchscreens beeing proprietary usually don't work with klipper. Old screens like this 'ender' screen work however.

@@LostInTech3D mostly pla. Nothing super fancy. I would like larger size, but not a must. If sv06 is better, i would get that one for example. The price is very similar so it is a hard choice. I saw that the sv06 has planetary drive, is it worthed?
I bought an SV06 based on a lot of positive reviews and it was the most disappointing experience I've had. At first I got driver failures when I tried to do the Z alignment, so I took it apart, put it back together, then started getting homing failures. Reflashing the firmware did nothing so back to Amazon it goes. I don't know if it's worth ordering another one because looking up solutions on Solvo's website and Reddit reveals a tonne of users whose SV06 has just up and died within a few weeks 😐
It's a hugely successful machine so there are going to be a large number of people who have faults, same as Ender's, etc. Unless we see the actual failure rate stats, which we can't, we don't have the data to make any real assumptions about reliability. Simple as that.
Sovol have sent me a production hotend and board, so I'm going to tune TPU to that, then release it, ASAP. :) I will probably make a vid about it so watch for it
How does it run 2 Z-stepper motors with only 1 output on the board? I don't know, maybe it's possible to add a splitter, all I know is my SKR E3 V3 board has 2 Z-stepper plugs EDIT: Never mind, looking for an Dual Z upgrade kit shows me there is indeed a splitter cable
Really cut the Cucumber with this one! Tomatoe tomatoe. I'm still a fan of the carrot stick Cartesian Style. Yes! I always read that far into the information
One big fail is no bed adjustment. If your print bed is warped in one corner, there is nothing you can do. Mine is -.43mm low on the right corner, that is bad. At least with knobs I would be able to fix it a little.
@@LostInTech3D It would be good to evaluate which method is better. Possibly also comparing the unusual rails in the Kingroon KP5 and standard linear rails.
It has many similarities to the amazing Prusa i3, including the simple menu and knob interface that I love. A couple of differences, though, first the price. I'm a bit upset, if I'm gonna have a printer like that I want ppl to know how much money I have... Another relevant difference, I believe, would be the planetary direct drive extruder. I suppose it's not a big difference, but can you comment on it?
Hahaha. Maybe spray paint it orange. The planetary extruder seems fine, I mean, it's just there, other than the wheel turning really fast you wouldn't really know.
Even if you could afford a Prusa, it isnt that great of a printer for the price. 8 bit board in 2022? meh..its just middle of the road printer, nothing to write home about. Compare it to the Bambu lab X1 which is just a little bit more expensive than the built option of a prusa mk3s you get a LOT more for the money...and if you compare it to cheaper options there are quite a few printers out there (including this one) that do the same job for a fraction of the price. I.d say getting a Prusa in 2022 is a pretty daft move. Take this with a grain of salt from someone who.s had a prusa and im happy that I got rid of it, but still, its just my opinion.
Well said, particularly about Jo’s narcissistic projects. Prusa business is a single great product subsidizing vanity projects that don’t succeed. MMU2S has the reliability of Ender 3. SLA is stupidly priced. Mini is a gimmick with shaky reliability at launch. It’s great to have a non-Chinese printer company, but like all the ones of the past, it stopped being agile and hungry. The XL will probably see the same story as Repilcator 5G: a beautifully designed printer that’s obsolete before launch.
No ptffd tube in my hotend? Check. 300C for those perky materials? Check. The price is almost half of the Ender 3 s1 pro, for 95% of the features. I say it's a good deal.
It's 2022 and Sovol are using rods on all axes. My Mendel90 did that in 2012. I don't like homing mechanisms which attempt to rip your machine apart. The Anycubic i3 Mega had ganty levelling - it used two Z switches - simple. Stall detection is fine but you're slamming plastic parts into each other here. I hope the availability of replacement parts outlasts the appeal of this printer. My takeaway from this. It's a Prusa MK3 copy at a fraction of the price with an implementation that reflects it.
It's 2022 and the Bambu Labs X1 is using rods on all axes, being one of the best machines at non-business price. Do you know how weak stepper motors actually are? You could stall it with a sheet of paper, and still, it's moving very slow without sufficient current to excert enough torque to do anything but move itself. The reason it slams instead of using sensor is simple and mentioned: it only has 4 drivers, it can't move the Z motors independently. Your opinion is unfundamented and pretty much "wrong" since it doesn't take into consideration all I've said, which are facts, not opinions.
I'm glad there is some real competition for a budget printer that's not strictly an Ender 3 Clone. It's great to see the 3D Printing community grow at such a quick pace in comparison to previous years.

Which one do you recommend? Sv01 pro or sv06?
Hah. Well. It depends what you plan to do with it, tbh. SV06 has a wider use case, SV01 has a wider bed....
@@LostInTech3D mostly pla. Nothing super fancy. I would like larger size, but not a must. If sv06 is better, i would get that one for example. The price is very similar so it is a hard choice. I saw that the sv06 has planetary drive, is it worthed?
@@LostInTech3D this would be my first printer.
Hi can you please post your Slicer Settings / Profiles? I have huge problems to tune the standard profile. :(
Thanks in advance :)
www.lostintech.co.uk/profiles/ 👍
@@LostInTech3D Thanks for the very quick answer :)
@@LostInTech3D Are your profiles up to date, or why is it that your retraction is at 6.5 mm?
Yes I noticed that, I'm not sure how that happened, it should be around 1.5-2mm for tpu and 0.5-1mm for p
Pla. Sorry about that 🫣
I'm ordered the SV06 for 199 dollar ;) I think it's a good printer
I think you will enjoy it 😁
Does it have a heated bed? This might be a stupid question but I gotta know for sure.
Yah it does
@@LostInTech3D Thank you
I have seen that Sovol color on some piece of smoked artichoke recently.
Well that wins weirdest comment of the day! 😁
First one is free to get you hooked on weird vegetable refferences.
I bought an SV06 based on a lot of positive reviews and it was the most disappointing experience I've had. At first I got driver failures when I tried to do the Z alignment, so I took it apart, put it back together, then started getting homing failures. Reflashing the firmware did nothing so back to Amazon it goes. I don't know if it's worth ordering another one because looking up solutions on Solvo's website and Reddit reveals a tonne of users whose SV06 has just up and died within a few weeks 😐
It's a hugely successful machine so there are going to be a large number of people who have faults, same as Ender's, etc. Unless we see the actual failure rate stats, which we can't, we don't have the data to make any real assumptions about reliability. Simple as that.
It looks sooooo good!
My SV06 arrived today! You mentioned a TPU profile, did you have a chance to upload the profile?
Sovol have sent me a production hotend and board, so I'm going to tune TPU to that, then release it, ASAP. :) I will probably make a vid about it so watch for it
@@LostInTech3D Nice! I have my PETG numbers dialed in and the results are great!
i really dont need another printer but this would be a great christmas gift for one of my homies
Does this printer have sensor when the filament run out - to stop automatically? And also when we can expect your Profile for this machine :)
there's a plug for the sensor in the hotend assembly, and I will get the TPU profile out before the machines start shipping, don't worry.
@@LostInTech3D ok then can you recommend sensor for this hotend or DIY one? You have plenty of time I only hope mine to be shipped before Christmas:)
I don't know if sovol are going to make a sensor addon for it. I'm not that huge a fan of filament sensors so I'm not really paying much attention.
@@LostInTech3D thanks for the info
Possible to get your tpu profile for sv06? 😊
It's kinda.... complicated 😂
I got sent a production hotend and it's better at tpu, so my profile doesn't matter.
I've been testing a new one
It's me. I'm "popular demand".
How does it run 2 Z-stepper motors with only 1 output on the board? I don't know, maybe it's possible to add a splitter, all I know is my SKR E3 V3 board has 2 Z-stepper plugs
EDIT: Never mind, looking for an Dual Z upgrade kit shows me there is indeed a splitter cable
yep you got it. Pretty common for belted systems, this does the G34 thing instead. It's actually pretty reliable.
Really cut the Cucumber with this one! Tomatoe tomatoe. I'm still a fan of the carrot stick Cartesian Style. Yes! I always read that far into the information
One big fail is no bed adjustment. If your print bed is warped in one corner, there is nothing you can do. Mine is -.43mm low on the right corner, that is bad. At least with knobs I would be able to fix it a little.
.43mm should not be presenting a problem. Are you loading the bed mesh correctly?
I'm beyond thrilled to see a Chinese bed slinger that DOESN'T use V-wheels. I hope V-wheels die off for good, and soon.
I hate to break it to you but wheels are probably going nowhere hehe.
@@LostInTech3D It would be good to evaluate which method is better. Possibly also comparing the unusual rails in the Kingroon KP5 and standard linear rails.
@@LostInTech3D 😭
Sv01 pro or sv06 same price?
SV01 if you plan to print PLA, SV06 for anything else.
Uau, thanks for fast reply!
Are you going to checkout the geetech thunder once it’s out?
I was trying to gauge interest in the news episode, I dunno, what do you think?
It has many similarities to the amazing Prusa i3, including the simple menu and knob interface that I love. A couple of differences, though, first the price. I'm a bit upset, if I'm gonna have a printer like that I want ppl to know how much money I have... Another relevant difference, I believe, would be the planetary direct drive extruder. I suppose it's not a big difference, but can you comment on it?
Hahaha. Maybe spray paint it orange. The planetary extruder seems fine, I mean, it's just there, other than the wheel turning really fast you wouldn't really know.
This is a great printer!!
I think you meant to say smooth rods with linear bearings, and not linear rails (around the 1:49 mark)..
Did the orange guys invent the i3 design or is it even older than that?
Oooh now there's a story from before my time. I think prusa took the Mendel and made it look nicer. From what to what, is harder to find out
Ender killer! Unless Ender put a Pi in theirs. I'll buy it I can't afford a Prusa.
Even if you could afford a Prusa, it isnt that great of a printer for the price. 8 bit board in 2022? meh..its just middle of the road printer, nothing to write home about. Compare it to the Bambu lab X1 which is just a little bit more expensive than the built option of a prusa mk3s you get a LOT more for the money...and if you compare it to cheaper options there are quite a few printers out there (including this one) that do the same job for a fraction of the price. I.d say getting a Prusa in 2022 is a pretty daft move. Take this with a grain of salt from someone who.s had a prusa and im happy that I got rid of it, but still, its just my opinion.
That’s still the best screen
hahaha "would you prefer in orange? :)))))))
I would love to see stepped part 3 and mor e gcode videos
more gcode vids are definitely happening, I'll think about steppers :)
how doe sthis compare with neptune 3
👀 Neptune 3 is Bowden.
But...😉😉keep an eye on the situation
To add.....no spaghetti squash protection? 😉
Well said, particularly about Jo’s narcissistic projects. Prusa business is a single great product subsidizing vanity projects that don’t succeed. MMU2S has the reliability of Ender 3. SLA is stupidly priced. Mini is a gimmick with shaky reliability at launch.
It’s great to have a non-Chinese printer company, but like all the ones of the past, it stopped being agile and hungry. The XL will probably see the same story as Repilcator 5G: a beautifully designed printer that’s obsolete before launch.
I'm not sure that's what I actually said 😂
Hotend goes up to 300c? Sold.
Yep, stock. 👍
Can it print nylon x or other carbon fiber filaments?
Not tried those specifically but currently printing a voron 0 on it with ABS @ 260 / 100 and it's working fine, so I think yes.
No ptffd tube in my hotend? Check. 300C for those perky materials? Check. The price is almost half of the Ender 3 s1 pro, for 95% of the features. I say it's a good deal.
it is, as you'll see next vid I am chain printing ABS on mine!
I ordered one simply because there are no leveling wheels. I hate those things .
nice but I consider the sweet-spot for bed dimensions 300x300, this printer is too small for at least my taste.
Oh my gourd, that's one odd looking vegetable!
I hope people who buy this are not going to need sovol support, because my experience with them is very bad to be frankly.
🧅🫑🥒🌶 Welldone!
I don't know if you know this...those are not linear rails.
SOVOL SV05
What about it? I have one here for review 🙂
SV08
tpu profil plz
Sovol: Guys prusa is so old that they dont own a patents anymore, lets copy it.
The i3 is open source 👀
@@LostInTech3D but it made of prusament and no one else has prats made of prusament.
It's 2022 and Sovol are using rods on all axes. My Mendel90 did that in 2012.
I don't like homing mechanisms which attempt to rip your machine apart. The Anycubic i3 Mega had ganty levelling - it used two Z switches - simple.
Stall detection is fine but you're slamming plastic parts into each other here. I hope the availability of replacement parts outlasts the appeal of this printer.
My takeaway from this. It's a Prusa MK3 copy at a fraction of the price with an implementation that reflects it.
Its fiiine, it's low current for the slamming, it's just a mild tap. 😛
It's 2022 and the Bambu Labs X1 is using rods on all axes, being one of the best machines at non-business price.
Do you know how weak stepper motors actually are? You could stall it with a sheet of paper, and still, it's moving very slow without sufficient current to excert enough torque to do anything but move itself.
The reason it slams instead of using sensor is simple and mentioned: it only has 4 drivers, it can't move the Z motors independently.
Your opinion is unfundamented and pretty much "wrong" since it doesn't take into consideration all I've said, which are facts, not opinions.
Parsnip...
Yours went through extensive QC, the production models DONT.
That's not entirely true as you will see in the next sv06 video
Lol looks like a super cheap prusa
