SOVOL SV07 - BUDGET KLIPPER 3D PRINTER 

Thank you so much for your hard work and honest creative approach. There are some misunderstandings here, Please allow me to explain something to you. 1. As you have shown in the video, about the leveling nuts, we provide a set of extra spare leveling kits with the machine, users who don't like leveling nuts can replace them, which will make the hotbed become like SV06 without the fixing method of leveling nuts. 2. The installation instructions for the accelerometer have already been added to the manual. ( The input shaping of SV07 is the standard setting that has been adjusted based on the engineers' multiple tests, no need to re-adjust the input shaping after assembly. It is best to be familiar with the machine before modifying the input shaping for novices. ) 3. The latest configuration files will be updated on the accompanying SD card and official website. We will make a tutorial video on how to flash the config in the future. 4. Currently, the big fan can be turned off by manually operating the screen. 5. Slicing software will be continuously optimized. 6. About the pulley structure, thanks for the suggestion. Feedback has been given to engineers. the same with the PEI plate, let's look forward to subsequent optimization. Anyway, we appreciate your suggestions for improvement, and these bits of advice fuel us to keep pushing this product forward. 😊

Nice work John! Thanks for making us "well informed"! I am glad i watched this before I unbox mine! Keep up the great work!

Great video,Never to long if people are learning something. Keep them coming Tripod.

Hope this helps, I think most of the issues that your having are todo with how the Input shaping was calibrated. The accelerometer that you attached needs to be rigidly fixed to the bed a clip wont do it. Its likely a ADXL354. It needs to be screwed to the bed and the print head and done on the surface that the printer is sitting on. Do that and some flow calibration and and I think you’ll have very different results. I have a buch of ender 3’s running Klipper and these things make a world of difference.

THANKS FOR BEING HONEST. YOU'VE GOT ME AS A SUBSCRIBER!

Not the experience that I have with my SV07 that's only 4 days out of the box. Oh, and it's my 15th printer overall but my first Klipper unit. I immediately swapped out the springs and wheels for the standoffs. I've had great success with PLA and PETG and my first 25 minute Benchy was just outstanding. I use the standard version of Cura with the Moonraker plugin so that I can send my jobs right to the printer. My negative experiences were minor. I used glue stick right from the start since I didn't like the feel of the PEI sheet. I needed to tweak the eccentric nuts on the X axis. Even without running input shaping I've expereinced very little ghosting or Z-banding. Calibration cube was the best of all my bedslingers. I also tested out the filament out process and it works quite well, too. I'm sorry your experience was bad. I'm a Sovol fan and have SV01Pro, SV02, SV03, SV05, and now SV07.

Crazy step backwards not to adapt what is so great about the SV06 & Plus

After pulling sock, PID tune is likely necessary. Perhaps rear fan cools uninsulated heat block too.

Gosh! Maybe the 07 I have in the hallway here can stay there !! 😮 you sure are a true captain John

I put a Creality Sprite Pro on a BIQU Hurakan with Klipper. Because it’s direct drive the retraction setting is .05. Works great!

I don't know if Sovol have changed anything since your review, but I received an SV07 last week and the print quality is really good. I'm using the PrusaSlicer profile from Maker's Muse.

Nice job my man!

Early units may of had issues but my May of 2024 SV07 has been flawless from day one. I'm using the spacer mounts for the bed and auto bed leveling for hassle free setup. Easy to use and no bad prints out 12 so far. Great purchase IMO especially for its $219 price.

Thanks for the review. 🙂 To isolate the problem, you could have printed at very low speed. That would tell if there’s a problem with that machine, or if it has to do with speed - input shaping maybe not working correctly. It may have saved a lot of innocent benchies. 😉 Does the printer stands on a sturdy desk?

Pretty sure it is the same extruder as the sv06+. If the silicone sock comes off you have to remove everything out of the way just to get it back on. It is four screws for fan duct on sv06, move fan and duct out of the way then push sock all the way on. Also my sv06+ without clipper does the standard speed benchy in 44 minutes with clean lines.

Upping the temp can help underextrusion at high speeds.

It's a shame. I just received my SV06 Plus last week. That printer is fantastic right out of the box. Klipper would be icing on the cake. I still have a Tevo and I'm never going back to V-rollers. I'm sure with a little tuning though the SV07 will be great for the price. One plus side with the V-rollers is you don't have to take it completely apart to lube the bearings since they ship the SV06 line with dry bearings. They sure do feel and sound dry.

Good review. Like to see an honest opinion of a printer. The close up views are differently a help..i have been looking but this is the first time to see a really honest reviw. Hope Salvo takes your suggestions and make a better printer from it.

Nearly pulled the trigger yesterday when it was still 299, this morning it jumped to 339 then dropped the desire to get it. Shall look at the Kobra 2 tomorrow

Very good video John, I also ordered a Sovol SV 7 today. I would be interested to know how high the noise level of the printer is. Keep up the great work! best regards

I wastched the live stream and had it in my kart. And then decided to hold off. I just had a bad feeling. Most of the companies are rushing these things ro market and frankly most reflect this. I can print at 80mms with my kobra but had to do some work on my kobra. And i asked them why they went backwards to vwheels and couldnt get a straight answer feom them. Lol. Thanks for the honest review

Mine didn't come with the t nuts for the external fan, it has holes drilled into the x-axis for it to screw into. Just got it last week. The hotend was loose as hell had to tighten it up and the extruder grub screw was loose tightened it down as well.

I've watched 4 reviews now. Looks like each of you got slightly different machines. Reviews so far range from OK to it sucks. Will be interesting to see what gets shipped to me this June.

great video, perfect time btw. Sovol could slow down, perfect their machines, and become a powerhouse. Too many companies where once you get the machine, need to tinker to get it to work right, if you can. Can you please print out a first layer across the bed?

I was thinking on switching over to klipper when compiling firmware I couldn’t do successfully if my life depended on it. After about a month of failed compiles I was just about to jump the marlin ship. But a funny thing happened. Marlin 2.1.2. I successfully compiled. I THINK I may understand a lil more of how to use vs code

Hi John Great informative video👍 has you allready tri to making timelaps clips direct over the sovol ui? Greetings from fuselito

You did not do anything wrong. Listening to your story gave me flashback of my SV06+ experience. My conclusion is that these many Chinese printer cloning companies are not here to make quality printers. They are here to make quick money. I’ll bet that by end of year we’ll have had multiple releases, and may end with SV10. The SV06+ came with a Marlin firmware version which is 2 years old. There has not been any firmware updates to the printer since I last checked. So I installed Klipper on mine. I must admit, just like you, I’ve spent more filament on calibration than actually printing stuff I wanted. With all of these many months of ownership I have yet to do a good quality print. I’ve wasted countless of weekends debugging this “printer” Sovol only cares about their public image, which is also why they made a comment to your video. Their support is non existent if you’re an ordinary person. I would advise people to save their $399. Then save up an extra $200 and buy the p1p. It’s a light years difference in user experience and quality. I bought a tool.. a printer.. I did not buy a couple of stepper motors, rods, an extruder and a bed to just do a diy printer. If that was the case I would have just built a Voron.. Also shameless they call themselves innovative in their SV07 advertisement. Nothing but a cloning company.

no matter what I do, the only thing I can print with the SV07 is the test prints that come with it, I cant stick any other firstl layer attemps, I have leveled the bed 1000 times and I have tried all different heights and layer thincknesses, the test prints come out flawless no matter the layer but I can get a single of any other print past the first layer before it delaminates. i pulled the settings from the test bench for temp

Hi... Is it possible to put a glass plate on the sovol sv07? And once the plate is placed in the glass, is the automatic self-leveling sensor able to read through the glass?

this sovol 7 worth buying any pros or cons ?

These high speed printing, can it print PETG at those speeds ?

I have a sv06plus and just got the sv07. Im struggling to print petg. Acceleration speeds are way too high. 8000 is way too much. I dropped it to 4000 and retraction speed to 1500 and it prints alot better and print speeds at 100mm/s or less. The printer would be going straight back to Amazon but the return process isnt exactly easy and takes forever. Maybe i can take the klipper screen and make it work on my sv06plus 😂 and put marlin on the sv07 w reg touch screen. I know the main board supports it from what i can tell. I bought a neptune 4 pro and that printer just works great. But this thing seems like junk. Really appreciate the honest review. Too many people got this printer free to review and either were lucky or full of crap 💩 🤔

The problem was the board (Manta M4P). The HDMI port was bad from the factory.

John, At least you didn't need to add a disclaimer that no money exchanged hands for the review. It has to be a tough market to be in now, with the Bambu and now Creality K1 - that are not a lot higher than this printer. The only thing I could suggest is to try a print much slower and see what results you get.

my brother got a 3d printer he bought from over sea..cost him $3k? i want a cheap printer does works? can u print a pistol toy gun?

I dont see what the issue everyone is having, It is still in preorder/beta so some stuff needs fixing, it seems like a good printer, wheels are cheap to replace and in my opinion less work. It is a good version of a Ender 3-S1 and is really good bang for the buck.

I would think the SV06 would be a better purchase and spend the money on your own Klipper setup.

Am I wrong? Me thinks that the gears shown at 1:13 do not a planetary gear make!! If the motor shaft drives the Hobbed gear and the gold-colored gear at the same time, then only one of the dark gray gears is driving the other Hobbed gear that pushes the filament into the extruder. The other two dark gray gears are useless, they just turn without having any useful function!! Please look up the way a planetary gear box is setup.

That was the most benchies I have seen someone test for one printer review. Well that was an adventure 😂😂! I give you an A for effort 👍. I have barely seen any prints from other reviewers. The last review I saw gave it a glowing review! I appreciate all the effort you put into this trying to make it work. Definitely a pass for me 👍. #RU-vidTears 😂😢

My piece of advice to you is please fix input shaper sensor. Properly..... This can cause this strange behavior on printing parts plus the ugly part fan.....

all the 3d printers do the same thing?

wow, that's a "yikes!" from me on this one. Thanks for suffering through the review!

I looked at this one but nope. I am still looking for my first 3d printer. My have to go with Bambu

anyone got profiel for prusaslicer?

They had such a good thing going with the SV06, linear rods and all that they really should have taken what they learned with that and used it to make their klipper machine. V wheels are just not worth it.

Maybe next time, print a few items with the generic input shaping before calibrating a specific input shaping profile for your installation. It's possible that the input shaping messed up the printer. There were apparently no instructions describing how and where to mount the accelerometer and plenty of wrong ways to do it. Hopefully Sovol has addressed this in subsequent machines. You got an early machine with incomplete documentation and maybe some wonky hardware. I like out of the box reviews. Bed slingers require some assembly but I'd make some prints immediately after assembly for the "typical user experience" and also to create a baseline, and only then would I adjust V rollers, calibrate input shaping, etc. I have an SV01 that's been a workhorse for my online business for over two years. I'm ready to upgrade for better print quality and hopefully faster print speed. I'm seriously considering the K1 Max, but I think my dream printer might be a 300 mm cube build volume version of the SV06 Plus, with Klipper and an accelerometer for input shaping. I wanted an enclosed printer to get back to printing ABS but I may get a less expensive and easier to maintain open frame bed slinger and convert my ABS prints to PETG. I wish Elegoo made a Neptune 4 Plus Pro larger format Klipper printer.

I want a sovol so bad. At this point, i don't even care what generation. They all seem to be very good. I grow tired of proprietary machines like Flash forge. lol

The new meme for i3 bed flinger manufacturers is to just put Klipper on everything, even if it sucks and they've done absolutely no research into how to implement Klipper properly.

Some products are just rushed to market, from what you have showed, this is definitely one of them. I’m sure sovol can sort with a bit of an update as long as the hardware is capable of being controlled by the firmware. I always watch your reviews as they are straight forward, so many reviewers just want the free stuff and don’t say all the negatives and we get stuck with half finished products. Keep up the good work ❤️

Something seems strange, the other reviews seem to have much better results.

im a noob but it looks to me you have to dial in that fan

u still use this printer ?

not that bad the prints look like crap ! .not quite the sv06 plus that prints brilliantly!.. aka filament muncher .very informed indeed

You made me laugh so hard, I cried youtubetears. Not a nice printer, great video though.

I guess this is what you get if you'd put a Ferrari motor in a Fiat.

Just want to point out to any new user, the input shaping was done wrong. The sensor is sending signals based on its axial movements. When you do not mount it correctly the computer is adjusting for movements in wrong direction. You would have been better off not running input shaping at all at all. I just got one, and I'll say Sovol listens to what ppl say! All the complaints people have given about this machine (minus the belts) they fixed.

Yeah those prints are pretty bad, hopefully that machine is a one off as I watched the Lost In Tech video and he had none of the bad layers that you did and neither did the My Tech Fun video.

50% in finally he starts to use printer geez nice guy but so slow and chatty

Won’t be buying this printer. 😂

I’m not impressed

Slow it down

OK I'm out ill wait for aurora tech much more concise and faster

IT'S OVEREXTRUDING

hello , how do I contact u？
