Honestly I think the title is clickbait. You shouldn't do a comparison video on a 3D printer you do not have. This is the first time I have seen any of your videos. For those of us who work in different fields a voron is a very time-consuming project. The SV08 actually gives me a chance to try some of the voron 2.4 advantages like a flying gantry for a great price and minimal time expendeture for building. I pre-ordered it and hoped it would be out sometime last month like advertised. I do realize things take time and I would prefer to wait if improvements are going to be made over time. Even if it's just software improvements making the process easier. You asked about Soval's products. I have owned a couple. They are the best bang for the buck. Unfortunately like most other modern companies they rush products out and software is minimally if optimized at all. Hardware wise they tend to be the best in their price range.

Eventually it died down a bit and the only two gliders left on the back ridge was me in a comet 180 and a girl flying a green coloured glider about half the size of my comet.

I've used every type of bed probe that you described, but I have found by far my favorite "probe" is the Cartographer sensor that I am currently running on both my Voron 2.4r2 and my Voron Switchwire. It is an IDM scanner (like the Beacon probe), and is INSANELY fast. I have mine configured to do a 9x9 probe, with two passes, so 162 points, on my 350mm Voron 2.4r2 that takes roughly 30 seconds. Once I have my initial layer dialed in, and the offsets saved as a gcode override for each filament / bed type that I pass to my PRINT_START macro, I don't have to recalibrate the first layer again. I run the bed leveling macro prior to each print. Ideally though I'd love to have both the IDM scanner AND a way to do a physical tap for auto first layer calibration, I hear that Beacon has something coming for that soon.

Good content! I've been using Layerneer Bed Weld for my ABS prints for years, which I'm sure is similar to Magigoo. I've never been able to get my ABS to stick to the textured PEI, so I always use the smooth side with the solution. You can also speed up the Troodon 2.0 TAP speed as it's unnecessarily too slow out of the box. Set "lift_speed: 100" in the [probe] section and "max_z_velocity: 100" in the [printer] section. It's also worth mentioning that on the quad gantry style printers like the Troodon and Vorons, to always do a quad gantry leveling (G32 macro on the Troodon 2.0) before every print and before mesh leveling. Cheers!

Well I'll tell you my 3dp story. Was looking for a printer about 18 months ago. I had had a couple of "goes" at 3dp before (an awful i3 clone that the frame was so warped on it wouldn't print above layer 5) so knew I wanted something more polished. Artillery Sidewinder X2 kinda fit the mold for what I wanted (RC aeroplanes with decent build volume requirements). Found a guy who was selling them - but then they went dark, must have had supply issues, couldn't get all the extras I wanted at the time so I waited. Then along comes the Elegoo Neptune 4 series, and in particular the Plus (for my build size). The brand certainly has a decent reputation of good after-sales service (well beyond many of the other commodity end players) and so I bought one at the leading edge of availability here in AUS. Didn't have to wait long really, but I kept an eye on spares - believing that as a relative newbie I'd be messing stuff up and needing to have spares, plus I live in the country and delivery isn't simple.... they had them listed but no stock. Didn't concern me too much at the time. But globally even, they had stock issues, and they had quite a number of failures on poor designed parts - for example the extruder spring lever arms were like spaghetti, mine broke on my third filament change, and they sent a replacement extruder but that took me out for 4 weeks. But then they also have custom tool heads with non standard everythings too, like the Sovol is, and 3rd party sellers weren't ready in time to deliver options, so you can't even buy different replacement parts easily. Manged to buy some nozzle sets on aliexpress, and eventually the hotends and extruders were both available on the Elegoo site in AU so I bought a spare or three, just to have it when the inevitable happens. It's also their first Klipper rodeo so they've had bugs and bugs to sort out. Elegoo have been pretty good through it all though, I've seen people give up in disgust at the printer teething issues and send them back, and they must have taken a big hit in spares they've replaced under warranty, but they continue to stand behind their product which has been great - so you can't understate the benefit of having a quality manufacturer who will do that. But as you say, if you're already a "builder" of this kind of thing, upgrades and repairs and changes are all somewhat par for the course so it's less important to have that manufacturer behind you.

Thanks for checking out the videos. Finished frame weight was about 3 pounds.
It must be fun. I hope I could hang gliding one day.
anyone else have the audio cutt off at 3:03 for them?

The Solvol is more along the lines of an Ender. It is a good platform that you can modify. With them already sorting out the canbus end of things replacing the toolhead is not a major step and part of the fun. I can see people adapting this as soon as the printer reaches their doorstep.
Those are generally my impressions as well.
you should make an update.
I'm not sure what there is new to update. Although I did see that Sovol are now offering the printer with the side panels and LCD screen, so that's different.
Fantastic video, i've spent all day looking around for good solutions to making carbon fiber bend tubes and this is by far one of the cleanest and most efficient ways to achieve this. Thank you alot.
Glad it helped!
For people wanting the same printer, this isn’t the troodon 2.0 it’s the troodon 2.0 Pro
Thanks. The "pro" is not consistently labeled on the Formbot website.
Hello I have a question I’m kinda new to 3d printing and I’m not sure if it’s normal or not that’s why I came here but the bottom of my 3d print I feel like it’s too visible and has a lot of lines pls help me! Thanks.
The appearance of the bottom of your print will depend on the print bed surface. If it's smooth, you should expect to see the extrusion pattern (lines.) A textured bed will help to hide those lines.
@@designbydavehey I don’t get it Do u have insta so I can show u a pic of what I mean?
@@designbydavepls answer man your the only hope I got.
I've ordered the SV08 with enclosure and 5" screen for 729, can't wait to receive it
I see now that they are offering it with those additional features. Sounds good and still at at good price. Hope it works out for you!
your a boss man !! thanks a lot
Glad it helped
Does the Troodon come with Klipper loaded now days? or do you have to set that up?
Yes. The latest version comes with Klipper preinstalled.

How about 350 cube, colour, enclosed and fast 800m/s Creality K2 will release soon
Unfortunately Creality have gone the route of proprietary hot ends like with the Sovol SV08 (see my video on that.) So no, not interested in that printer. I'm sure there are many that it will work well for, but I don't think it would suit my needs.
Well I'll tell you my 3dp story. Was looking for a printer about 18 months ago. I had had a couple of "goes" at 3dp before (an awful i3 clone that the frame was so warped on it wouldn't print above layer 5) so knew I wanted something more polished. Artillery Sidewinder X2 kinda fit the mold for what I wanted (RC aeroplanes with decent build volume requirements). Found a guy who was selling them - but then they went dark, must have had supply issues, couldn't get all the extras I wanted at the time so I waited. Then along comes the Elegoo Neptune 4 series, and in particular the Plus (for my build size). The brand certainly has a decent reputation of good after-sales service (well beyond many of the other commodity end players) and so I bought one at the leading edge of availability here in AUS. Didn't have to wait long really, but I kept an eye on spares - believing that as a relative newbie I'd be messing stuff up and needing to have spares, plus I live in the country and delivery isn't simple.... they had them listed but no stock. Didn't concern me too much at the time. But globally even, they had stock issues, and they had quite a number of failures on poor designed parts - for example the extruder spring lever arms were like spaghetti, mine broke on my third filament change, and they sent a replacement extruder but that took me out for 4 weeks. But then they also have custom tool heads with non standard everythings too, like the Sovol is, and 3rd party sellers weren't ready in time to deliver options, so you can't even buy different replacement parts easily. Manged to buy some nozzle sets on aliexpress, and eventually the hotends and extruders were both available on the Elegoo site in AU so I bought a spare or three, just to have it when the inevitable happens. It's also their first Klipper rodeo so they've had bugs and bugs to sort out. Elegoo have been pretty good through it all though, I've seen people give up in disgust at the printer teething issues and send them back, and they must have taken a big hit in spares they've replaced under warranty, but they continue to stand behind their product which has been great - so you can't understate the benefit of having a quality manufacturer who will do that. But as you say, if you're already a "builder" of this kind of thing, upgrades and repairs and changes are all somewhat par for the course so it's less important to have that manufacturer behind you.
Thanks for chiming in Poundy!
So are you printing RC aircraft with it?
Seems like evaluating a machine you don't HAVE is jumping ahead of yourself!!!! Your self importance is showing.
Thanks for watching!
Your ignorance is showing. You did not watch the video. In the 1st 1.30 minutes he quotes MANY big name KZreadrs and their reviews. What they liked and did not like. He did NOT need the machine to do this video. (the video being comparison of features between the two printers) If you watched the video you would know that but instead you made a foolish comment that makes me think your thinking of your own self importance...
@@stevedegeorge726 You should not tell me "how sweet the orange is" when you did not taste it! I watched Aldrich video to get "HIS" evaluation, not someone else.
