Yes that obviously makes sense but is the price step up really worth it for someone who only prints occasionally? The price difference between the Prusa MK3S+ and Sovol SV-06 is almost 500€
I don't think the price differential is worth it unless you're going to use it a lot. I own a Prusa MK3S, and it's not as though it doesn't have its issues sometimes.
I think I'll try my luck with the Sovol. Thank you for your input :)
The question is whether you want to get into 3D printing or get a printer that has a chance of your hobby becoming fixing 3D Printers.
I went the cheaper route too first, at the end of the day it never worked as well as my Prusa and I probably put a similar amount of money into it before giving up.
On the flip side, I had a prusa mk3s and had nothing but issues for 2 years. It just wouldn't print properly, even after hundreds of hours of troubleshooting and talking with people online about it. I eventually got rid of it because it was a constant headache. I really regret buying it.
That sounds exactly like what I have been experiencing with my prusa mk3s
Yeah its 3x price so not worth if you achieve the same goal. Personally Id try to avoid bed slinger, but if I was buying one I would go for prusa just because I know they are approved. But if I was buying 200ish € printer id probably go for ender just because they take more than half of 3d printing content on the internet. I dont know much about sovol tho
