Sovol SV06 ACE High Speed Auto Leveling 3D Printer
www.sovol3d.com
Sovol SV06 ACE is a 3D printer with a speed of up to 600mm/s. It can print a 3D Benchy in 13 minutes; it is very advantageous among similar products. Pre-assembled components can be assembled in 15 minutes. Fully automatic leveling technology can avoid tedious leveling processes and automatically calibrate the Z axis. Even novices can quickly get started printing their own works. As an open source 3D printer, you can tinker, modify and customize the device by viewing the open source files of the SV06 ACE. Support WIFI for communication, you can transfer print files to Sovol SV06 ACE for printing through mobile/PC devices, and it also supports OTA to ensure the leading edge of SV06 ACE. The 3d printer is equipped with a 4.3-inch touch screen, which is as easy to operate as your mobile phone.

After immersing myself in 3D printer content on YouTube and Lemmy, I’d talked myself all the way up to spending AU$2000 which is just absurd for a first timer, but then talked myself into the Sovol3D S06 ACE as a decent starting point, haha

Anyhow, I’ll be running this in my garage (garage door open) and I think the first batch of filament in the pack is either PLA or PETG, which seems beginner friendly

I’ve been wondering about 3D printer profiles and calibration in slicer apps… is there a way to print as many benchies that will fit on the bed, but each which different profile parameters, so I can see which profiles do or don’t work best? Or do current slicer apps always produce a plan that uses the same parameters for the entire job?

Note that I’m 100% on Linux (no Windows here), so I’m probably limited to https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer or https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer (or maybe https://github.com/GladiusSlicer/GladiusSlicer if I’m in the mood for contributing my own code)

I’ve consumed probably too much YouTube at this point, but any especially important hints and tips for a first timer would be appreciated!

P.S. oh, just noticed, https://lemmy.ml/post/23597074 thanks!

    Start with PLA since PETG can be finicky with moisture.

    Garages are nice but try to keep drafts to a minimum. PLA is more forgiving there too.

    Have fun tinkering and figuring it out. There’s just some skills you’ll acquire as you go. Slicer experience giving you an understanding of orientation for strength and/or to minimize the need for supports.

    PLA is also cheap enough to just figure it out. You’ll have bad prints, regardless but you’ll also make some cool stuff too.
