Hey all,

I’m planning on upgrading my Ender 3 V2 with a new printer, and I’m not sure which printer to choose.

SV08 has a massive build area, which I really like because of the size of my personal projects. And Klipper is a plus I guess? Never tried this firmware before.

On the other hand Prusa is well tested and known, also its multicolor extension is alluring to me.

Can you share your experiences if you used them before to help me choose? Thanks!

    I’ve got an SV08. It’s not a perfect printer, but making a printer without the problems it has (e.g. the bed takes nearly an hour to settle after it’s reached temperature, so it needs a long preheat for all but the shortest prints) would require making it much more expensive (e.g. a thick aluminium or graphite bed that wouldn’t warp would add another 20% of the cost of the printer). That specific problem is sidestepped with the MK4S by simply having a much smaller build volume rather than because it’s higher-end and more expensive. I’ve not needed support from Sovol (yet?), so can’t comment on whether they’re still super slow like they supposedly were right after the SV08 launched.
