  is this is decent 1st printer for random stuff like smart sensor weatherproof shields? I cant find shields for less than $36 from the UK or all places, I could buy this, print and sell 7, and have a paid for printer?

    Going by specs, because I have no personal experience with Sovol printers (but the filament dryer they make seems to work alright): Probably. If you can handle the cyan highlights everywhere. I would however say that just because it says you can print so many different materials because the hot end goes up to 300° doesn't mean you should. Getting up to a temperature is one thing, maintaining it while running filament through it is another thing. Plus almost anything that prints at over 250° is generally a real bastard to work with. You're best off sticking with easier stuff like PLA while you're learning the thing.
    (Just like my Ender-3 V3 SE (also not a bad option, but over $100 more than this deal), just because it can print at 250mm/s doesn't mean you should, even the default profile for it in Creality's software only has it going at 180, and that's just for infill, walls are half that, and I often run it at 100mm/s or less to stop it getting jerky as hell)

      Petg should be suffice; looks like the printer could handle petg no problems.

        Have an SV06 and PETG is no problem, also do ABS with zero dramas but it is in an enclosure.

      If you can't handle the cyan highlights everywhere, just re-print them in a colour of your choice. The SV06 is fully open source, Sovol themselves provide STL and STEP files of all of their components so it's simple as to re-print them, no need to design them yourself first.
      Material you use depends where it's going - PLA is fine for something inside, PETG/ABS/ASA are better for things outside or in very hot environments (PLA will distort in your car on a hot day, ABS won't).

    Why stop at 7? Get the printer and pump out enough to sell that will engage you to purchase a weather station that will rival the bureau of meteorology!

    Sight exaggeration, but seriously, of you have a good design of aptitude for design, 3d printers are amazing.

    Yes, it's a pretty good 1st printer for someone. It comes mostly assembled (top isn't installed on the base for shipping, but it slots in to pre-made slots and has a couple of bolts to hold it in place - comes with the allen keys too), has a fixed bed and auto bed levelling sensor so no messing around to level the bed like older style 3d printers.
    If you can design stuff yourself then yes you can sell it, and plenty of people do that to pay for their printers. If you get your designs for printing off a site like printables, thingiverse etc they usually have a non-commercial license which means you can print it for yourself, but cannot sell it. Paid sites differ sometimes, in that you can either buy a commercial or non commercial license for some items (some may not have a commercial option) but obviously you would be expected to pay more if you're selling someone elses design.

    Yes, it's a really good first printer. You can also look at Ender 3 V3 SE, which has auto z-offset as well.

    The below video explains which features matter most. Motion system is one of the most expensive upgrades and SVO6 comes with a good motion system by default.

    If you are willing to wait a few days, Bambulab A1 (NOT Mini) will launch in a week's time. When that happens it will be the best starter printer. Will be more expensive though and won't be open source if that matters to you.

  Use code 19906P to bring SVO6 Plus down to USD199.

  Thanks OP, bought one. Was waiting for a deal on SV06 Plus for a while.

      Looks like you need to spin the wheel (the present on the left) and get lucky…

      Note: Does not work in the cart section. Only works during checkout

        Yes, thanks for pointing, that's how I got the code and assumed it will work for everyone.

            @beeroll: I put it in my card and left it there, and they sent a 5% off coupon (SVIP). Still didn't bite, so the next day they sent a 10% off coupon (SVVIP).

            That bings the SV06+ down to $197.10 USD through this deal. It would work with the SV06 too I assume - the 5% off did when I tested it.

            Would have just purchased for $199 if that coupon was still working, but this is good too.

              @desbop: Oh wow, thanks - that looks to apply to any product: i.e. Sovol 7plus would now be US$287.10.
