What reviewers found
Sovol SV06 ACE
- Tom's Hardware: Editor's Choice. A Benchy printed in 13 min 8 s with no ringing or layer shifts. TPU was fair with significant stringing, and the cooling fan whines. Source
- 3D Tech Valley: Real world speed was about 200 to 300 mm/s. It was loud at full speed and some units shipped with dry bearings. Recommended for PLA and PETG tinkerers, not for plug and play users. Source
Sovol SV08
- Tom's Hardware: 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. Source
- 3DWithUs (4.4): 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. Source
