After my last printer broke, I am considering getting this one for it’s high precision, vibration stabilisation, and other good features, but wanted to check your experience with it before going ahead.
So lets start from the top:
-
All printers have the same precision.
-
I guess you’re talking about input shaping, which reduces artifacts and shaking of the printer (a little)
-
Most budget printers right now have lots of the same creature comforts that this printer has.
Right now the biggest things are community/aftermarket support (moddability), price and firmware. You should get Klipper to get input shaping, so that narrows it down. Look for some klipper printers (e.g. Sovol sv07) and decide which one you like best. They are almost all the same, save for qc and qa issues by some companies and sometimes lackluster support. Any printer can produce awesome prints. It’s only a question of how much time you have to fiddle with the settings. Cheers!
All printers have the same precision? I thought it was the degree to which the filament may vary from the specified location and is measured in mm, like some are 0.1mm, some are 0.05mm, some are 0.2mm, etc?
All printers use the same components. Same motors, leadscrews and belts. If the printer is built well, the precision will be the same. You obviously have play in some machines, but due to the variance in filament it can vary from negligible to basically nonexistent. It’s not the machines fault most of the time. Polymers have variance and sometimes unpredictable behaviour. Just part of the game.
From your recommendation, I’m leaning towards the Sovul printer. What has been your experience with it, like ease of use, proneness to breakages, or anything else unexpected from the Amazon page?
