Sovol SV08
Big, fast open source Voron style printer for tinkerers
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Sovol SV08 worth it? The SV08 gives you a big 350 mm bed and Voron style speed for about half the price of enclosed rivals, with open Klipper firmware you can modify. It costs $549 as of Nov 4, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
The SV08 gives you a big 350 mm bed and Voron style speed for about half the price of enclosed rivals, with open Klipper firmware you can modify. It suits tinkerers who want to tune profiles and do not mind an hour of assembly. Skip it if you want a plug and play machine, multi color or a modern touchscreen, since the stock screen is a basic knob display.
Best for: tinkerers who want big and fast. Skip if: you want plug and play simplicity.

- Open source Klipper, no cloud account
- Quad gantry and mesh auto leveling
- Low price for the size
Cons
- About 1 hour of assembly

What independent reviewers found
- Called it probably the best Voron lite printer to date and the fastest on its speed list with a 13 min 25 s Benchy. A vase took 2 h 3 min. Default profiles over extruded until tuned, the PEI bed needed glue for some fast prints and TPU strung heavily.
- Tom's Hardware
- Assembly took about 1 hour with some awkward cable routing, and the full leveling sequence about 5 minutes. A Benchy took 12 minutes and multi part, flexible and functional prints came out well with no tuning. Cons were the small screen and a noisy motherboard fan.

Does it need a cloud account?
No. It runs Klipper and works over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB without the cloud.
Can it print ABS?
Sovol lists ABS, but the printer is open frame. An optional open enclosure is sold in bundles on the Sovol store.
