I know there are mixed reports about the reliability and support of Sovol 3d printers, and I can only speak to my first impressions of the SV06. I like it. Print quality using the models on the SD card is only average, but it is a very easy 3d printer to assemble and use. The feature set is impressive at $229 during the holiday sale, and even at $299, it might be the least expensive 3d printer I have seen with an all-metal hot and a print bed rated at 100c. It is disappointing that they only ship an old version of Cura for Windows on the sd card but they do have a printed sheet explaining their key settings for your own slicer. In the follow-up review in about a month or so I will test it at high temperatures with current versions of Cura. Here is the review. Enjoy.

Thanks! Would love to see how the helpdesk quality is. Not so impressed with the quality just yet by this vid and you not yet fine tuning it. As a starter printer, it should print better right out of the box. In miniatures, that quality just looks awful. ---

I have one of these coming. I plan to Klipperize it, then run Input Shaper and Pressure Advance calibrations. That should allow me to get the most from the printer. In that vein @Irv_Shapiro, and having not yet viewed the video, can you tell me what MCU it uses? ---

Here is a link to the github repo for the Marlin source code: > **[GitHub - Sovol3d/Sv06-Source-Code: Sovol SV06 is a Budget All Metal Hotend...](https://github.com/Sovol3d/Sv06-Source-Code)** > > Sovol SV06 is a Budget All Metal Hotend Direct Drive 3D Printer with compact functions in 2022. Auto Leveling, Planetary dual gear setup extruder, PEI plate, etc, are available on the SV06. Welcome... And here are a couple of photos. This is the easiest printer I own in terms of access to the control board.

Nice to see the heat sinks.
