The SV08 is marketed as a mass-produced Voron 2.4, with a much lower price and a very quick setup. They even say they donate a small amount to the Voron project for each sale.
Has anyone here bought/tested it? What are your thoughts about it?
Are there some limitations/downsides compared to a Voron?
Is it possible to upgrade it Voron-style (Stealthburner, enclosure etc)?
Did you do a Voron kit? I’m considering doing one and was hoping you had a supplier you’d recommend.
Yeah, I did the LDO kit, revision C. I’m very happy with the quality of the kit and included options/mods.
However, the documentation is… fragmented. It all exists, but it’s spread across the official Voron build guide, the Stealthburner build guide, and the LDO print guide, addendum, wiring guide, etc. Super annoying. And there’s no canonical part checklist, so it’s easy to accidentally print unnecessary parts.
That seems to be a problem with most kits, though, so more of a heads-up.
LDO is releasing their revision D of the kit soon, so you can either wait for that or get a discount on a clearance revision C kit. I know KB3D is supposed to have them 20% off soon if not already (no affiliation, I just chatted with them at MRRF).
That’s the kit I was considering! I figure if their motors are alright they probably are reliable for the other parts. Thank you for all that and the suggestion for discounts!
