You can print more materials on Sovol SV06 and get great print quality.
Durability, reliability, etc? Eyeing one of these to get something that just works on a budget.
Have you created a request for support post somewhere? Unless you were unlucky and got a broken printer it’s probably fixable.
The 3d printer buying guide I usually refer to lists this as “cons” for the SV06:
The bearings come non lubed. You need to grease them. White lithium grease or even sewing machine oil should do the trick.
The carriage holding the X axis sometimes is not straight from factory which requires loosening some bolts, aligning it, and tightening them back up.
While it does have a direct extruder, the more flexible filaments (i.e. ““Ninjaflex””) do not play well with it.
Was thinking that maybe point 1 or 2 could be causing your issues and would be worth checking. Though IMO they sound more like they would affect print quality rather than make prints fail completely
The problems seems to be the extruder. It jams very easily.
I spent an entire week trying to fix it in many ways, with no success. I saw a lot of other people having the same problem on Reddit, so I returned my printer.
It’s the worst printer I’ve ever tried.
When it works, it prints wonderfully. Much better than my Ender 3 v2 and even my Ender 3 S1 Pro.
BUT… about 85% of my prints failed horribly.

If returning was an option, I suppose that in some way also solved the problem :)
