  • The SV08 is a decent printer if you’re willing to tinker and regularly recalibrate the shit out of it. Sometimes it’s absolutely perfect after THE right calibration move. Sometimes it’s absolute shit and nothing prints properly and/or sticks to the bed and you need to recalibrate it. I’ve found that heat soaking it for at least 1/2h before each print and recalibrating the probe as soon as printing is slightly less than perfect helps a lot.

    My takeways:

    • Taco bed is a minor issue if you can properly probe.
    • It’s FAST and the print volume is excellent
    • Everything is automated and/or software controlled so fixing issues can be quite a nightmare if you’re used to all-manual troubleshooting (I come from an Ender3)
    • Build quality is OK. It probably needs some costly upgrades to get to Voron-level (Stealthburner hotend, thick aluminium plate, enclosure etc.)
    • The DIY upgrades ecosystem seems very active.
    • Klipper+Mainsail are amazing

    Get a Sovol if you’re a tinkerer and you want to maximize speed and build volume per currency unit.

    Get a Prusa if you want a high quality printer out of the box.


  • Funnily enough, I feel the opposite. Manjaro never worked reliably for me, but Fedora works great for my use case. Is it perfect? Fuck if I know. But it’s a good, no-nonsense, extremely low maintenance, super reliable distro that I use daily with zero issues.

    Also, they pioneered the atomic distro concept that has amazing use cases, and some fantastic projects are based on this technology. My gaming PC runs Bazzite for a zero-maintenance, immediate gaming experience. My dads laptop runs Bluefin and he hasn’t broken it yet, and he’s capable of breaking every single OS.
