Funny timing, ModBot just released a video on the SV08 today:
While he missed some of the issues I pointed out in my other comment, I largely agree with the review and it's worth a watch. He makes a good point towards the end about it not being a "Voron for cheap"
Ah perfect timing indeed.
The key takeaway indeed matches yours: it's not a Voron despite being heavily inspired by it, there are some annoyances but at this price point it's forgivable and most of them seem to have workarounds (someone in the comments suggested letting the machine fully soak heat before performing Z-offset calibration), the open-source nature might bring a lot of third-party upgrades in the future.
Also, the reviewer's unit has some abnormal wear on the belts. Does it match your experience?
All in all, it seems to be a decent budget CoreXY printer with a very large volume at 1/3 the price of an LDO Voron kit + PIF parts, with a much quicker assembly but some potential pitfalls.
If this eventually becomes the Ender 3 of CoreXY printers that can be frankensteined into a a much higher quality printer over time, I'm all for it.
That's an apt summary :)
I haven't seen abnormal wear yet. There are a couple spots that are tricky to align correctly, so I'm wondering if that happened to him and he unknowingly fixed the alignment when replacing the belt. It's worth being detail-oriented and triple-checking everything when assembling.
But I've been having some clicking on Z-axis moves recently. My suspicion is that I accidentally got some filament debris where it shouldn't be. I haven't opened it up to investigate yet, so if it's a machine issue, I'll update here.
