I would say the Neptune is for people that like printing only, it has simpler and better display, the frame is more clean and the electronics are more compact inside. On the other hand the Sovol looks like more moddable, simpler and open frame and extruder, easy accessible electronics with one more driver, and classic graphic display Marlin friendly (compiling Marlin for some touch display is a thumb in the a).
In my opinion this is what you should be looking for.
where I live these are the prices
1. Elegoo Neptune 3 PRO [$309]
2. Soval SV06 [$404] (import from US)
3. Anycubic Kobra Neo[$189]
4. Ender-3 V2 Neo [$291]
5. your suggestion
can you help choosing me my First printer, which should I pick?
@@AdityaKumar-cy2cr not the Ender. Then just pick your price point, and you’ll be happy with whatever you get (and unhappy, because no printer is perfect). Good luck!
@@AdityaKumar-cy2cr I've have owned the Neptune 3 (Non PRO) and the Ender 3 V2. The Ender 3 has been out longer so it has more of an "open source library" meaning that you can find files and parts to be able to upgrade your printer. The Neptune 3 pro is a newer, so upgrading it won't be as easy, but ultimately prints VERY GOOD right out of the box. Both are priced very reasonably priced but keep in mind that they are not without flaws. In my honest opinion I would go for the Neptune 3 because its more of a polished, out of the box printer, and getting started is super easy.
@@AdityaKumar-cy2cr That is easy. The Sovol SV06. The others are not in the same class. The Sovol Price should have come down by now. The Sovol is louder, but it will be printing, the whole time people are tinkering with the other ones.
The Neptune is clearly the better printer regarding the only feature that matters… goggly eye aesthetics, hands down the winner 👍🇦🇺😊
And why anyone would spend 900$ for the fugly prusa is just beyond me. With a screen from the 1950's
Q
I bought the sv 06. I needed a cheap printer. I did have some problems with a cracked tensioner and crunchy linear bearings. they squealed and drove me nuts. Fixed it in about a hour with a new printed tensioner and bearings from the parts bin. I still think it was a good deal and am happy with it.
Ugh I've got the crunchy bearings, they sound awful! Do you know what type of bearings I need to buy to replace them?
@@laprizzle7587 8x15x24 or LM8UU. it's a standard size found also on a Prusa.
@@laprizzle7587 I put lube on the rails and the noise went away after a few minutes of printing
@@mikeb1596 thank you! I'll try that next print!
Tensioner is the thing on the extruder?
I ordered a Sovol SV06 last night. It offers a lot for $229. At least I'll have a usable printer while I wrestle with my Ender 3-V2.
lol fr L creality
Just bought a Neptune 3 Pro that arrives today. It is going to be my son's first printer that is 100% his and will be in charge of taking care of. I am interest in the SV06 though as well and I think once stock becomes more available I will purchase one of those as well to add to my growing collection. I do think anyone looking at a Prusa Mk3 should consider the SV06 especially if you already have a printer and some knowledge about them. The upgrades needed to get the SV06 up to snuff with the MK3 are minimal.
I’m looking at getting the Neptune 3 pro myself. I have 0 experience with 3d printing and have just been binging content to prepare myself. Would you say the sv06 is more upgradable? I see the biggest difference is the hot end going to 300. I have no idea how hard something like that is to change or if it is even possible. Sorry I’m rambling, but seeing how other people talk about 3d printers, I feel like I may be in the market for a second one sooner than later lol. So I figured I’d inquire your thoughts on the SV
@@TheReaper1 The upgrades for the Neptune to get it there shouldn't be that bad but it will require an all metal hot end. I am honestly not sure if the Neptune already has one or not as I have yet to get my son's setup. That is the biggest limiting factor in high temp material printing. Any PTFE tube by the hot end will have issues. Since the SV06 really is a prusa clone there you should be able to attach almost all Prusa mods to it with relative ease. Now without tearing it down completely I don't know that for sure and I would need one side by side or to pour over the cad files to see if the parts are truly compatible. There are a lot of extruders and hotends though that are made to bolt right onto a Prusa and as similar as they are this should also be the case. Something like a Revo 6 hotend for instance is a great upgrade.
@Buzás András One of the first I would recommend on a Prusa or even and SV06 is a Revo 6 hotend. As I mentioned in the other reply as a Prusa clone that appears to be using the exact same frame and rod dimensions then I would imagine any Prusa upgrade would nearly bolt right on.
@@StrifeJester thank you very much for the insight. Unfortunately it does not appear to be an all metal hot end (it came with a spare ptfe tube) but for now I don’t think I will be dabbling with any materials over 260 c. I’ve had it going nonstop since it arrived. I was shocked at the amount of time for some prints but pleasantly surprised to see it complete them regardless ( I had a print go for just over 2 days)
@@StrifeJester The Sovol only requires a larger y axis motor and a heat bed insulator, and maybe some printable cooliing fan mods. The next set of mods would be electonics, like Klipper and a Raspberry Pi.
I solved this for myself, I bought both machines. I like the direct drive of both, but i like the heat limit of the Sovol. I like the aesthetics of both machines, and they sit side by side as well. Bed leveling is awesome and there is some adjustment capabilities for both, the Neptune did far better with TPU that I expected. I also like the light on the Neptune and ease of use. Before I got my Neptune i had already added a light strip to the inside rail of the Sovol, so now I have a light for each without having to have an outside light fixture. Both equally good performing machines and equally worth the price. I personally, will never own a Prusa, mostly because of the cost and that undeniable attitude owners of them have, that "Apple products owner clique attitude" of apple is better just because, I prefer to steer clear from stuff like that because I like to have my opinion.
I'd go for the Sovol offering just because it does without ptfd tubing in the hot zone. Also it's not as tacky with the silly lettering all over the gantry, but that's I am allergic to the ridiculous styling.
Interesting as always
I'm undecided.
Thanks for sharing.
Haha sorry 😉
Thanks for making this video! I'll just stick with the SV06 for now even if I haven't received it yet. 😅 I think one feature you forgot to mention is that the Neptune has a slightly bigger volume than the SV06. And that's what sort of put me in the state of turmoil (?) as I hoped to get "Swiss army" printer for a budget price but with a bigger volume in case I want to print bigger stuff in the future. But again, we'll see how things turn out the SV06. Actually 1 word in your review put me at ease - PETG as I plan to use that often for some functional prints. Thanks again for the video!
The SV01 Pro is larger.
@Peter Callison Yes it is, but the comparison is between the SV06 and Neptune 3 Pro. 😉
i bought a SV06 on sale won't arrive till the end of the month, i'm sure i'll love it once it gets here but i also bought a Neptune 2s for $140 it arrived yesterday and its been great so far, based off of this i kind of wish the 3 pro was in stock at the time, may yet end up buying one . this 2s has been my first new printer sense the monoprice was selling the mp mini i3 ( the wanhao rebrand not the malyan ) i am blown away how quiet and user friendly it is. i'm sure the SV06 won't disappoint but for $100 cheaper the 2S has definitely upped the ante for what i will expect from it.
I ordered the Neptune 2S because of the Neptune 3 Pro being out of stock and the link from Neptune's page sent me directly to the 2S which I originally mistook as the 3 Pro because Neptune's site said 140 for the S2 with a link to Amazon but then it costs 190 from Amazon (50.dollars more and ELEGOO site says 140 but only has Amazon links.
Regardless it confused me and I thought I was getting the Pro 3 for 40 dollars less than through ELEGOO but instead I was paying 50 more than what elegoo advertises. I'm going to try it out but it's most likely going back due to somewhat deceptive marketing by either ELEGOO, Amazon, or both.
Doesn't look like the Neptune 3 Pro is going to be back in stock in the US till around April 21st. Came across the SOVOL SV06 and while I would buy the Neptune 3 Pro right now (if available) I'm wondering if it's worth 250 for the SOVOL (minus tax) ordering directly through them as it's 300 on Amazon.
I'm new to 3D printing. Will more than likely be doing just PLA, maybe some others but seriously doubt I'll be doing carbon or anything that requires close to 300C so might just use the S2 until the S3 pro is in stock and return it to Amazon. Not sure who is doing the shady redirects but if you click on a Neptune S3 pro Amazon link via a Google web search it redirects you to the S2 which is shady and if I had to speculate it's amazing doing those redirects. I have never had a redirect like that from a Google search to an Amazon product. I have gotten the product no longer in stock but not a redirect to another product entirely by the same company.
The only thing that has me thinking about the SV06 is upgradability. Yes, it's my first 3d printer but I like upgrading electronics like computers and building my own smarthome devices for Home Assistant using ESP32 varienta and PIR and MmWave sensors so upgrading might win me over.
Still, for first time use and the price the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro looks like the better solution. I'm a little off by the manual leveling bed on the S2 but it looks straight forward using the paper technique. At the same time, I thought it had auto leveling because of the shady web redirect. At the same time, neither of these have manual adjustments (or at least the SV06, plus the Z axis issue) and it looks like even with auto leveling printers you want to get the manual measurements as close as possible because it causes the printer to have to do less adjustments and neither sound like they really allow that. The captive touch screen is also much better in the Neptune 3 Pro
TL;DRL Just get the one that looks best to you.
The problem a lot of the pro's and con's is that they only appear in niche cases. Like the all-metal extruder; sure plastic one wears out, but for most users that will be a once in a lifetime event, if it ever happens at all. Similarly, printing the stuff that doesn't work with a metal version is something allmost nobody does. This makes it a non-issue either way.
What I'm saying is that by the time you actually experience the drawbacks of those points, you have already moved on from budget printers to printers that don't have these issues anymore anyway.
If you are looking for your first printer then buy the one with the big LCD because that is simply easier to work with. Both printers will do just fine for everyting you're going to want to do with it the first couple of years and by that time you will know a lot more about what each of the mentioned pro's and con's actually mean TO YOU.
I bought an Ender3v2 a couple of years back and it has yet to develop it's first problem. I print a few items a month, usually 1-3 hour prints in PLA, sometimes few tires in medium TPU. I don't care that it's "noisy" because I don't sit next to it for 3 hours listening to it and getting annoyed. One of the first things you learn when using a 3dprinter is to get a rapsberry pi with a camera and monitor the thing from a different room.
I got a bed level sensor and better springs and I have not adjusted the bed for 6 months now, I have not had a nozzle clogg up, I cannot really remember the last time a print failed but I'm positive it was because it had a very small surface to adhere to the bed and I forgot to turn on the brim in cura.
Just purchased my first 3D printer the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro arriving January around the 19th. Completely new to this hobby so fingers crossed I pick things up rather fast. I want to design my own parts soon as printing ready made items I will quickly lose interest in. I hope I did enough research and made the right choice for myself (trying out the PolyLite Polymaker PLA PRO Filament) as I don't see me out growing it's capabilities too soon. If I had the budget I would own a decent table top CNC machine as well but that's not the case.
how did it go??? was it easy to get going?
@@silverbulletin846 Very pleased was up and printing within 1 hour after watching a few videos and choosing a file to print, took under 15 minutes to assemble very easy. The heat bed wasn't tightened all the way so leveling wouldn't remain correct but once I tightened it up (the screws on top of the magnetic plate) no issues and prints look great. It's a great 3D printer on a budget and any software glitches (screen froze once) fixed by doing a easy screen and firmware update. I also love using Polymaker Pro and reg PLA filaments, almost fool proof printing (failed prints are few and far in between now that I have gotten to know the printers limits and what slicer settings works best on what I need out of a print).
@@SK-me9by How is the printer holding up?
@@pingbot261 Very well and very pleased with it's overall performance (printed around 6Kg+ worth of a combination of matte PLA and PLA Pro firmaments at this point). I'm on my 3rd 0.4mm brass nozzle (stock ones are on the cheaper end). I do recommend especially for those just getting into 3D printing. Saving up for the newer Max sized model.
Did you end up getting the max model? And if so what do you think of it
I'd say the Neptune is a better out of the box experience for beginners, experienced users may prefer linear rods (you can buy 8 new MSM Linear Ball Bearings for 20e), Klipper friendly display, the fact that it is usually available refurbished. The only thing that I dislike of the Prusa clone is that it may take an extra effort to put a huge cooling vent behind the gantry for running at 250mms.
Neptune: quiet, but requires constant tinkering. Sovol: Prints like a Prusa, day in and day out without issues, but not as quiet.
The orange 3D printer with Pr in the name was too expensive for me so I ordered the blue one.
I want to print PET-G and PLA, then maybe I'll try TPU 95. No need for ABS or ASA.
And the display, I'll use Octoprint maybe with my own screen or on an old tablet...
Using my SV06 for ABS, I didn't think I needed it, until suddenly I did. Nice option to have.
Ok. This is a good comparison video but I disagree with some statements. The first one is V wheels and linear bearings are similar in performance. Linear bearings are superior to V wheels by a big margin. They are better for accuracy and longevity by far. V wheels are made out of soft material which runs on hard, usually anodized, aluminium so they are going to wear a lot faster. On the other hand, properly lubricated linear bearings are almost set and forget. The extruder on the SV06 would be my preferred too since it's all metal so there's not restrictions on what material you can print other than high end engineering materials which sometimes require over 300 C. I would never buy a printer running on V wheels. That being said the Neptune Pro is not a bad printer but the SV06 is superior in my opinion
I would have to agree I'm swapping out my Tevo for a SV06 Plus. I really dislike V wheels. I mean they work but over the years are much more finicky then rails.
I just decided on the Neptune 3 pro and went to buy it and they are sold out shipping to US. I guess my decision is made for me.
The Neptune is supposed to be back in stock shortly
@@LostInTech3D I asked elegoo support this question and they said mid January would be the time frame to be back in stock. Should I hold out hope for the next few days, or just get the SV06?
It’s back in stock!
It's back out of stock
Thankx for your good video. Very interesting! I use the Neptune 3 Pro and it´s a very good machine. The big advantage of the Sovol is the higher temperature. But for normal use, and cheeper today I choose the Elegoo.
About wheels and linear rails... Both of them wear out over time, but for rails, you have to replace the whole part, which can be quite expensive. As for wheels, they are very cheap, so no problem with them.
Great comparison, I was pondering this question too!
I have had the Neptune 3 pro and now have the Sovol SV06 plus. They have both had the same type of problems. Better extruder on the SV06 plus, better filament sensor on the Neptune. Basically all the fiddly stuff is the same, the Neptune 3 Pro was not a better out of box experience for me at all.
My decision was easy, I got the SV06, the other one was out of stock. Pass the cranberry sauce.
The Neptune looks much more like a finished product than the Sovol. I’d pick the Neptune for sure
And yet the Neptune's performance is hilariously bad.
Don't be deceived by its looks. The Sovol appears to be a copy of the Prusa which is regarded as the gold standard for hobbyist that normally goes for $1k.
@@allwoundup3574 in what ways is it bad?
@@allwoundup3574 the Neptune 3 or the Neptune 3 Pro?
@@allwoundup3574 I've yet to see a review which criticises the Neptune beyond nit-picking. I also note that someone else asked you to explain how it is "hilariously bad" 3 days ago and you haven't replied.
Good question when the video was released, but now the questions are:
SV06 or Neptune 4?
SV06 Plus or Neptune 4 Pro?
Wait for SV08 or Neptune 4 Pro Plus or Neptune 5?
Err 🤣
To me, if you are interested in printing functional parts, the one that can print at a higher temperature wins. In this case, that would be the Sovol with the all metal hot end. The ability to be able to print at a higher temperature also means that you have a lot more choices for different materials to choose from. It just simply offers a lot more options for your functional part. If your 3D printing needs are simply for creating trinkets and gadgets, then PLA filament will offer the most variety of color choices for the lowest price. In which case, any printers should do the job and it all comes to personal aesthetic preferences.
can the Neptune 3 print with all the PLA filaments or are there many restrictions due to temperature?
i needed this video so much
It's me. I think the text on the Neptune 3 Pro is stupid.
I still want one.
Engage with the brand.
We need more of this kind of video.
I bought a neptune 3 pro. and despite now somewhat second guessing myself here, i think im going to be happy with it. Ik goijg to be printing a lot of cosplay studd, and for swverwl parts of it i am going to want to print soft tpu, so its gonna help a lot there.
first question you should ask - can you put googly eyes on it? If yes, it's a no brainer.
Funny this just came up in my feed... I have been trying to debate the last few weeks as to if I should get a Neptune 3 Plus or the SV06 Plus which are the 'big brothers' to both of these. It would be my first printer and as I learn my goal is to print larger statues and things like cosplay items. I like the larger build volume on the Neptune however I have been told the larger all metal print head on the SV06 plus is beneficial for 'most' things.
... this has been wracking my brain and if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated since even this video just shows both printing companies as being good haha.
Yep I can't help you, both are suited to your needs, go with whichever you like best aesthetically I guess!
@@LostInTech3D haha not super helpful.. but also a very common answer. Guess I will just have to flip a coin.. if nothing else I can take comfort in that there doesn't seem to be a 'wrong' choice. Thanks for the great review :)
perfect timing
i was looking up sv06 reviews and your comment of the "if you dont want to buy both" made me decide to buy the sv06😂 i already have the 3 pro but its either spend 100 and upgrade it to all hotend or just buy the sovol
there is a valid use case for two printers haha
googly eyes got my sub. lol love it
Can we start making bets on what the SV06 video is about? I bet you tried soft TPU and it exploded out the extruder with such force that it broke the mainboard, requiring you to replace the board
Haha good guess but not that exciting
I like your way of thinking.
I'd add he probably didn't have a camera on at that moment, so we won't see that happening ;)
@@LostInTech3D do you know when you will release it ? I'm really curious if the tpu performance got any better.
the goggly eyes got me have ordered one
dont forget to also order eyes lol
I would say the wheels wear out way faster that a bearing that is lubricated and cleaned well, and if aligned and setup correctly with a torque wrench
At the moment Neptune 3 Pro seems to be a great first printer, but not the one some enthusiast would be able to tinker with without building a whole new machine. It's not a bad thing per se, but it would be good to know. Besides an all-metal hotend there is just one other upgrade I found so far: an additional thermal insulation layer for the build plate. And yes, Sovol's cyan is extremely ugly.
Would buy a sv06, but recommend the Neptune 3 Pro to everyone else
Why?
Uncle Jesse just teased the Neptune 3 plus. I’ll pick up the sovol & wait on the plus
I have a review coming on the plus. I have one here 😁
@@LostInTech3D this made my day. While I’m excited for the printer, it’s great to see you getting plenty of products to review. Your videos provide a lot of value in an efficient amount of time. Thank you.
How easy is it to re flash a self compiled or community provided marlin image? Are the boards pretty straightforward, or do the provided marlin builds include proprietary bits which prevent self compilation?
It's insanely easy to flash Marlin images, you just stick it on the SD card and it picks it up.
You can practically dual boot marlin and klipper, it's that simple.
That being said, the bit you're not asking but is part of the answer...is that touch screens tend to have their own proprietary firmware. If that isn't shared, it's a problem for marlin, less so for klipper.
@@LostInTech3D but is the marlin an easy compile for either? See if you can compile 2.1.1 and upload it. For me, being able to upgrade marlin myself is a huge selling point as it means I still get new features and bug fixes in the future even when the manufacturer has lost interest.
@@UnCoolDad worst comes to worst, the SV06 has a board with a footprint identical to the BTT SKR mini e3 boards will all the wires and connectors going to the same places. the board they're using is a lightly modified reality board to enable uart on the drivers, so it should be pretty plug and play
What about the after purchase support?
I wounder if the sovol sv05 or sv06 is the overall better packege, I think the sv05 seems better, you could put panels on it an it should be better for printing some materials, but overall every one say the sv06 is a great printer, but i find no comparision... ?
Just buy the one that's looking at you!.. What, still no eyes on the Sovol?
I'd count both cables as a plus for the Nepturn, one is lovely transparent blue, and the other is a _telephone_
I only just put the new extruder hotend thingy on the SV06! Also not sure where eyes can fit
@@LostInTech3D I'd put it on that box with the board in it, so it would always give sideways glances ;)
The Elegoo does win in the build volume at 225mm x 225mm x280mm
Have you seen the Neptune 3 max 🤣
@@LostInTech3D lol I just bought one. Amazing machine
i don´t know... Elegoo´s neptune have a huge problems with warped beds. I bought two neptune 2s and both came with warped bad problems. Elegoo has changed the printers for Neptune 3 and the new printer´s has come with the same problem... So im avoiding Elegoos FDM printers. Sovol i don´t know much about them but, the SV01 Pro still have my attention. For SV06 i see reviewers complaining about the accuracy of Auto Z Align and other minor issues, maybe cause the printer is new project for sovol... i´ll se in the future how this machine berravour.
I watched a video about the Z Axis issue and it seems super easy to fix and verify after letting it do it's auto calibration. On another review the first prints were off, even though it was level. So much so that SOVOL sent the reviewer a new bed. Didn't fix it. He put 2 chicken noodle soup cans under the metal z axis bar and they were off. They have manual screws at the bottom for manual adjustment. After he got it level he said he had used it for a month straight almost 24/7 with zero issues. He also mentioned some higher end solvol models come with 2 rods or something similar to verify the Z axis issues but not all units have the issue but best to verify manually if possible IMO.
Thanks for the warning about S2 and 3 Pro. Already kind of disappointed that ELEGOO shows the 2S for 140 on their site, but only has links to Amazon where it's 190. What's worse is Google search results for the S3 Pro show Amazon links clearly stating S3 Pro but redirects to the 2S which is shady by Amazon and ELEGOO also. At first glance it seems like you are getting the S3 Pro for 190 instead of 230.
thx Daddy Lost, this was helpfull
Excellent Vid, proper topic.
Of course there's no clear & cut : "this one is better than that one" - it's always about plusses and minuses.
SV06 does look a bunch more "plasticky" - but I don't know if that holds up in person. For all I know, the Neptune 3 Pro has that same aesthetic, but just doesn't show it as much due to not having massive light-blue structural components all over the place :)
Just wondering if an all metal heatbreak would be available for the Neptune 3 pro (assuming we'd flash a new Marlin that'd put the max temp at 300
On the Neptune 3 Pro page on the Elegoo site it says: The nozzle kit contains a TC4 titanium alloy throat pipe
@@jeffreyepiscopo Yeah that's deceptive advertising, it's still ptfe lined they just made the throat out of titanium which seems pointless. They said the same thing about the base Neptune 3 and it's not all-metal either. In the case of the base 3 it is compatible with Ender 3 heatbreaks though. Not sure on the pro yet.
@@Lagmeister12382 that’s annoying
How much trouble would the Neptune 3 Pro have printing ASA and ABS?
not advisable with a ptfe tube
hola, la sv06 tiene sensor de filamento?
there is a plug in the hotend, where a filament sensor can be added later, according to sovol
I will always pick a printer with linear rods/rails over the V wheels stuff. MY MK3S has over 10k print hours on my rails and bearings are still mint. Your elegpo printer is pretty much new and already has astounding wear on the V wheels. V wheels need adjusting when they wear, rods don't.
Hey I made a video about that, the wheels are fine.
How easy is to install Klipper on these printers? That will be the deciding factor.
I wish you had done this video about the SVO1 pro and the Neptune 3 pro. As they are so similar to each other. I just bought the SVO1 and I don't know if I made the right choice. uugh stress
Sv01 pro is a great choice 🤷🏼♂️
Can you make a deep review of the fokoos odin 5 f3? It goes on sale 50% off in amazon once a month

any idea on how this comaprre to the new bamboo lab c1 discounted version?? i wanna get into making figurines and helmets. im having a hard time selecting a printer, $$ aint the bigggest option i have over 600euro budget.
06 plus or Neptune 3 plus are both ideal for helmets
I think the different font size at the start of the video might be a hint 🧐
No it isn't!! 🙄
What Cable does the sv06 hotend use? I'm thinking on getting the stand-alone extruder assembly for my ender 3 max
Cable? The ribbon cable? It's sorta like a floppy disk cable... IDC I think is the posh name
What about the SV06 Plus?
Linear rods*** not linear rails. rails are constrained from rotation, bearings on rods can still freely rotate in one axis, linear rail carriages can't
👍
can the Neptune 3 Pro use almost all the filaments (PLA for example) or are there many limitations regarding materials, due to the fact that it cannot print with a very high temperature?
Yes, the pfte does limit the printer a bit, but changing the heat break is relatively simple for anyone technical, I did exactly that in the plus review
@@LostInTech3D Hi LIT, thanks for your answer. Without changing the hear break can the Neptune 3 Pro print all the types of PLA (or most of them)?
I happen to like both blue colored plastic bits and text on the frame, so this video didn't really help me much.
Solvo 6 can use klipper
Wouldn't linear rods or rails last a lot longer than Delrin/POM V-wheels?
not especially no, both need maintenance but in my experience delrin wheels need less maintenance. The wheel hate is strange.
@@LostInTech3D I think the wheel hate stems from durability. POM/Delrin is supposed to be long-lived, but I've seen several Creality printers that developed flat or worn spots on the wheels within a hundred or so hours of printing. Not to mention the insane amount of material shedding those wheels seem to do.
Good linear rails are expensive, but they're more accurate than wheels and don't wear down as fast, in my experience. Of course, an aluminum extrusion bed slinger probably isn't going to be the most dimensionally accurate machine to begin with, so getting up in arms about motion systems is a bit silly.
Are the PEI sheet the same for both? Same texture and double sided or only one side textured?
Same - and both single sided
@@LostInTech3D thanks for the answer!
The PTFE lining is a deal breaker.. I wish PRO meant all metal. The pain of changing PTFE tubes every couple months should be in the past.
I've changed my pro to all metal, check the plus/max review where I talk about it
@@LostInTech3D will do! We have purchased a lot of printers over the years and updated to all metal on all of them (usually v6 / bmg combos) but it’s nice to see some OEMs coming out with all metal from the factory.

Which 1 of these do you still have 😎
Haha, now THAT is how you tell which is best. Unfortunately for you, I still have both :)
Is either slightly better at all for printing TPU?
Probably a little late but the SV06 kinda sucks with TPU, from what I've heard it has a tendency to get stuck in the planetary drive, and as he said in the video all metal hot ends aren't as good for TPU.
The Sovol has linear rods. Not rails.
Where can I fin sv06 tpu profile plz?
if you hop on to discord you can help me test it? :)
Can you add a run out sensor to the sv06? If so please explain how.
There's a plug on the breakout board on the hotend. I'm not sure if sovol plans to sell one as an add on.
I personally don't like runout sensors so I haven't really looked into it.
Ok so do i pick a neptune 3 pro or a sv06?
I know people r tryna help us out with decisions and stuff but i dont know what i am supposed to get from “up to preference”
I have no knowledge of anything on printers and no idea on what i like or not
if you have no preferences..then by definition you have no preference of machine. So buy either.
poms lifespan is less than 1% of a maintained low grade rail.
Haha I doubt that
Bed size is it for me.
I would say neither. Go slightly bigger. 300×300 should be standard small size. Even tho its slightly harder to fit on a desk.
Watch for some news on that 😉
Why though? What real difference does it make for the average user? Would love some specific examples of what additional possibilities it opens with the slightly larger build volume.
@@somerandomperson8282 helmets probably go on 300
Is the sv06 much slower than an “orange printer” at probing before the start of a print?
And how much louder is it than the orange one?
Unfortunately I can't comment as I don't have an orange one. If you ask Nero3d, for example, he does.
you can ajust any probe speed in marlin ..th3d have some gr8 probes & sorted this along woth some firmware
"I want a printer that's good, but it has words on it"
🤦♀️
cmon, who doesn't want to create the future?
sv06 looks like my Anet A8... lol old junk!
this video was waste of time
Whereas this comment was worthwhile 😂
The new beta firmware for neptune has linear advance
👀 where did you see this?
Dunno, where did you see this??
I saw it over on the github page for the V1_1.0.5-Beta version right at the bottom "Enable linear advance. Default: K=0 ."
@@rhetoo That's for the base 3, the pro firmware source isn't available yet.
