Just an FYI, on the SV08, those 2 blue endcaps on the gantry have screws to adjust the belt tension. There's set screws to hold it tight and then screws on the end to adjust the tension of the belt.
The belts are not adjusted like that, weird that someone suggested taking the gantry appart to do it. The Sovol doesnt need any upgrades either, it just works. No need to mess with it at all. The nozzle problem was corrected and they exchanged the flawed ones with new ones for people.
I like tinkering with printers, that said when I need to make something I make it on the 3 Bambus I have because they always work, the print quality is excellent, and after 4,000 total hours I have less maintenance and failures than most machines I have owned with less than 300 hours. My P1S is still on its original nozzle.
13:40 use the a1 for the character prints because it does the colour change faster (so I’ve heard). So even though the core xy might be faster, if you’re doing multiple colour changes on all or most layers it probably won’t be. Downside is 4 colours. Hopefully they release upgrade for 8 colour a1. Surprised you don’t like the sovol, sounds like belt tension is a pita, what’s it like on p1?
If I’m not mistaken the Prusa XL is $2000 semi assembled and $3500 for the 5 print head version. Definitely sucks being limited to 5 colors but at the same time I love the fact it doesn’t require a purge or prime tower. My gripe with Bambu is how much it purges. 1 multi color print could use 500g of filament with 100g going to the model and 400g going to the purge and tower. It makes me avoid multi color prints and print each color individually when possible. But I’m currently tuning the g code for shorter purges without any color bleeding
The thing about the Prusa XL isn't how many colors it can do in one print, it's how many materials you can mix into one print. PETG with TPU corners or PETG with PLA supports just feels amazing. Also, if you're really into mass producing things, the XL just wastes so much less material.
if one of the materials slots is earmarked for support material, still limited to 4 colors, which is my only real gripe besides the build plate. dont get me wrong, super impressive machine!
I do actually. Thought I should move everything to orca but sending things to print remotely is clutch and setting that up via orca is a pain esp for the kobras. have to look into it more. honestly i don't mind it.
I think for what you're trying to sell, the Bambu Lab lineup makes a lot of sense along with a few of the less popular large printers. There are other brands I recommend to people focusing on functional prints or engineering type filaments, but I think you're in the right spot. If you had something start selling like crazy that was multi-color, you'd basically have to go Bambu. Something single color and reasonably sized, you could even go to like an FLSUN machine just for the super high speeds. Really though, I think your current path makes sense for you.
I have to agree with your breakdown. The print farm changes the needs over just having big printers, and I can think of several things that affect what I’m using. Dependable, easy to adjust and set up. Long running times with low maintenance, good software , quick filament changes without problems, commercial design vs consumer grade etc.
Agreed, no one should be buying the first couple generation Ender 3s at this point. They served a purpose at a time, but things have moved on. The Prusa XL is an amazing machine, but buying it just for multi color could be productive at scale, but it really shines when you mix materials. It is a very well built machine, and I expect it should be able to clock many thousands of hours with minimal concern, much like my old MK3 that had over 20,000 hrs on it, before being reborn as a MK3.9. The Core One owes way more to the Prusa AFS Pro farm automation system, introduced in 2021, than it does any other consumer machine on the market.
Check out the k2 for multi color, 350 x 350 so pretty much double the size of the p1s, when your doing color changes bigger print area = more efficient since u do the same change per layer
@@TechnicalsTinkers I guess...of course my luck says that the box came open and the small box with all the hardware fell out or they forgot to put it in there.
Great video like you I started with one of the smaller printers in my case in artillery. I also had a sovol different model than the sv08 and then I switched to bambu despite using Prusa at work. I was curious to see what you thought of a SV08 given this black Friday they had a P1 without the AMS for like 550 or 575 really looking forward to them putting out something largerwould like to get another larger one to go with my P1 S and A1 combo Glad you got the orange storm though haven’t had too many videos of people putting one of those into production and tuning it. Those have been really great videos.
I Have a 500mm RatRig. Took me 3 weeks to build/tune but holy hell is it fast for a big printer. Probably cuts off a day on the prints that might take a Kobra 2 days. Don't you think all the waste through the AMS is a huge issue? 5 colors seems like enough.
Overall not too much, but again I price really high and the money is just theoretical at this point. If I get another bambu i'd probably just put the 2nd ams on it
Got a 500mm rat rig idex that just arrived, unfortunately I won't be able to build it until I get back home just before nye, so early next year I guess. Hoping it won't take me long to build since I got experience from building vorons n other idex machines like the marathon. One thing I'll say thou is once u got experience building machines, fixing normal printers is a breeze since u learned it from ground up.
@songhan1586 It took me a long time because that was my first kit. I really wanted to make sure everything was as perfect as I could get it to have an easier time commissioning. I complained that the kit didn't come with a power cord and got ripped one on the Facebook page. Lol. As a person that was used to ultimakers it came as a high ge surprise to me.
Thanks man! I started with an Anycubic i3 Mega. I'm hoping their new Kobra 3 Max Combo is good. Right now I have two A1 Minis because I typically print small things, but I'm looking for a bigger printer to get in a month or two.
I got the Bambu Lab P1S during the Black friday sales. Initially I was looking at getting a bigger build area so looked at the Qidi, Creality & Sovol printers and they all had issues going by my research. I did not wan't a bed slinger as I didn't have the room, so it had to be a core XY machine. I wanted a printer that had good print quality and didn't require me to spend alot of time tunning the printer profiles. Glad I went with the P1S and hope Bambu Lab release a bigger build area machine for the new upcoming machine.
Catch-up? Prusa has been doing core xy on the industrial side with their AFS, the industrial print farm unit before Bambu Labs was even a start up, is it priced beyond the pro-sumer print farms, he’ll-to-the-yes, and BBL rules the pro-sumer Etsy-Shopify-Amazon print farm market.
I just ordered the kobra 3 max combo was leaning toward a Bambu p1s but after hearing about your kobra 2 max I pulled the trigger hopefully it’s a better printer
CoPrint multi color I use on my sv08. Belt adjustment is done by adjusting a screw avd measuring freq of the belt. Simple. If replacing the belt you are correct on removing.
That is not how you tighten the belt on the SV08, you are right prusa needs to be a step ahead instead of at the same level and the core 1 is a smaller build volume at 220 by 220 by 270 I think
Vid I saw originally had someone removing the belt, snipping off a bit, and fitting the end tooth into a reciever and re-attaching. Found another that mentions loosening 2 screws then tightening down a set to add tension. So not AS involved but still more than a kobra. Not nearly as scared now LOL
see thats where you are wrong about the ender 3. its a great first printer because it teaches you how things work and how to fix them when they break, would i run a print farm with them hell no but i would recommend running one and figuring out exactly how it works and if you break it, so what your out 100, but the lessons you learn are worth more
I agree it's a great first printer for a person who WANTS to learn about building, tuning, and maintaining a printer. Someone who is willing to put in work and desires understanding of 3D printing as a whole. For people who just want to print, there are so many better options now, including from Creality.
Why don’t you buy a QIDI PLUS4. I’ll tell you that it prints out of the box and out prints your Bambu. Bambu does not print ABS, Nylon and other high temp Filaments.
Amazing printer, great price, teething issues are all solved now, but no AMS competitor yet, and really better for focus on higher end filaments. I actually do think it puts out better quality prints than Bambu Lab, especially with some tuning. I'd definitely buy one over an X1C or even a P1S generally unless someone wants the AMS, but I think the AMS is a big draw for his channel and products. Plus4 is budget king for any engineering type filaments for sure IMO.
I have a small print farm. I recently tried the new ender 3 core xz. The plus or the smaller one (wouldnt bother with the smaller one). Really amazing bed slinger and not to mention the price.
Prusa seem to be pivoting into the corporate market - where price is a lower factor in purchasing choice. Bambu is out of favor there because of privacy and IP theft concerns.
Not true. I work with an aerospace OEM... they are using Bambu printers for both prototyping and simple production parts. Bambu has a separate entity for commercial/corporate customers with secure networking internal to the customer in order to protect any IP concerns. Personally, not a fan of Bambu multicolour pooping crap widgets eco system, but their machines just work.
You're right that a 500x500 core XY with 16 color support would be awesome. The Creality K2 Plus looks good, but a max version of that would be even better.
I'm not interested in the format. I'm interested in the ins and outs of the experiment. I really want to see the road bumps and the successes of the endeavor, and even the boring bits in between.
Mat your understanding of how to tension the belts on the SV08 is lacking. There is an adjustment screw on the backside of both the front idlers. It's explained on their wiki. That being said, I agree with your recommendation not to buy the SV08. There are just too many problems with that model. Thanks for another great video.

If I could turn back time, probably just yeet straight into a K2+
