Im contemplating buying a printer on a tight budget. I heard Sovol makes good stuff, so im looking at their product line. I have heard that the SV07 uses V-rollers instead of linear rods, that the SV06 uses.

Im comforting with flashing microprocessors and building custom code. My priority list is as follows:

  1. Open source, both hard and software
  2. Part availability and software interoperability/ecosystem
  3. Stability/quality of the build
  4. Print quality and speed

What do you guys think? Any recommendations? Should i get myself a bone stock SV06 and upgrade it to klipper by flashing, or should i get a SV06 Plus with a klipper display already? Is there something else i should consider?

Very thankful for any advice.

We dont want a bunch of proprietary extensions to an open communications standard, do we? This is something positive.

That said, I dont have much hope for matrix. Implemented in python with the initial goal of "bridging every chat platform in existence" is just bound to be a disaster.

Maintaining anything beyond a couple of hundred lines in python becomes tedious imo.

The rewrite in go has been spoken about since like 2018, and matrix.org still runs synapse iirc. Synapse should have been trashed immediately after MVP demonstration.

Theres also conduit, but to be honest, i feel like the lesson here is to avoid feature creep. Safe, fast and distributed dm text chat should have been the target functionality, with a lean, mean codebase.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk
