Beautiful engineering Nadir! Thank you for your many contributions to the community.

[@nadir3D]

Thanks, we are preparing more. Monday we will have our unit here and will start developing the software as well.

[@jlabbox]

Thanks for your MODS!! good job

[@nadir3D]

Thanks. what was your favorite mod?

[@sunriseshell]

I'm excited, got my shipping confirmation. Will be here tomorrow!

[@nadir3D]

that great news. what is your favorite mod?

[@sunriseshell]

@@nadir3D I real like the prospect of multiple tool heads. Was hoping this was a possibility on this platform. Also I'm interested in an enclosure and a filter. I've been working on a magnetic panel mount design I made based on their 3D models. We'll see if it fits and will work really soon here.

[@garethevans9789]

​@@sunriseshellDon't worry, I don't think many SV08s will be left as stock. How are you finding the printer? (mine came last weekend)

[@garethevans9789]

​@@nadir3DPay as you go/ grow will be nice. Going all in a once with 7 toolheads will cost a small fortune! Maybe I need 3... Bigger nozzle for infills, plus accent colour. 🤔

[@3D_Printing]

1:21:30 Yes this is awesome video, Thanks for All the hard work making improvements

[@FreshPrintsofBelair]

Nice stream Brother

[@nadir3D]

thanks we are open for suggestions

[@szmajli]

Is there any chance to make an other version of the SPARTACUS with BIGTREETECH Eddy leveling tool?

[@nadir3D]

we have a lot of requests for Eddy. and we are under developing a new carriage to can "hide" it as close to the nozzle

[@szmajli]

@@nadir3D It sounds awesome :D

[@Dom_Matu]

Great stream Nadir, I like the new updates! I thought also about the tool changer of the vorons and looked for some tutorials, but don't thought that you are the one who make my dreams come true 😂 I cross my fingers that you will get your sv08 before the weekend and will wait for your unpacking video😅

[@nadir3D]

if you want to se the V1 is here we are working on the V2 now github.com/dury10/Spartacus/tree/main/Stealth-Changer the V2 Started to secure even more the Docking tools because 7 are a lot :D

[@deadmansprice]

​@@nadir3D​ 7 toolheads.. I'm now intrigued, been looking into github as Prusa XL is no go for me due to it's price and I need something that can work with similar stuff I want.

[@3D_Printing]

Motherboard, more GPOI pins input and output for control of extra's Please

[@SpaceDorg]

Love your mods ❤

[@nadir3D]

Thanks. we are publishing the mods that we have tested this week and more to come.

[@SpaceDorg]

@@nadir3D Have you already tested the clicky probe mod and do you have a conf file?

[@LouisCYUL]

Are threaded inserts going to be strong enough to push the X/Y belt tensioner? Might be difficult given the Z belt path but I think a BFI-like setup where a screw and nut are compressing everything would be more robust.

[@nadir3D]

It is a good Point of view. we have tested the threaded insert installed from behind and they hold ok. we will make also a version with a nut. Thanks for pointing it out

[@st0mper121]

Its hard to pull the trigger on a SV08. with enclosure 749. I do want to print ABS Qidi max 3 for $50 more but loose 1 inch on x y and little more on the Z but 2 hotends, 1 hard 1 soft, textured and smooth build plate. and heated chamber. I really want to update this year, my printers are old. i want to move to Klipper + my bed just died on one of my fav printers. its like 5 years old....

[@nadir3D]

but the version withou the enclosure. otherwise you need to print the top hat. and make your own enclosure. www.printables.com/model/879399-sovol-sv08-panels-for-the-enclosure

[@st0mper121]

@@nadir3D I ended up doing both a SV08 and a qidi max 3. (Prime day good sale for the max 3) I print a lot of PLA +, PETG and Aero for my RC stuff and i need high temp parts to hold the motors. i figure its time to retire my CR-10S's anyway. I know a good makerspace they can goto.

[@nadir3D]

@@st0mper121 you will enjoy them! With little love they are both capable machines! And btw nice that you donate to the local maker spaces and support the community 🦾

Nice, How can i support you?

[@abitnutz6747]

Are these parts available for purchase or must they be printed? The OEM parts are injection molded and are much stronger than printed parts. Will we be able to buy the parts from PCBway?

[@nadir3D]

will be send me a message on Printables www.printables.com/@Nadir

[@garethevans9789]

Damn, you guys have put a lot of work in (I also have an SV08 on order). There's so much potential! (I'd be pretty happy with two tool heads, rather than switching filiment). I'm surprised the Voron team were so dismissive. It's lowering the cost of entry, and getting more people on board. They could steer something really big (work with companies on licensing, quality/ standards), but instead, they act like elitist d*cks. I'm not sure if it's money or egos (they still think covid testing is a thing🤦‍♂). [No hate directed at the guys. It's just frustrating seeing the the likes of Bambu & Prusa amase a mountain of patents and all that's left is endless Ender 3 clones. I don't have an affiliation with any of the above companies]

[@nadir3D]

thanks, yes he have put a lot of work on this project and we are still improving and developing it. thanks to the awesome community that gave us a lot of feedback. Regarding what you the 2 toolhead we have just tested it is space for 7 Spartacus. :D and at first we will build one with the 2 versions of Spartacus BMG and LGX to have for live comparison on the same machine to see the true power of the LGX version.

[@LouisCYUL]

Agree that Nadir and his team's work here is impressive. As for the Voron team, have you seen how clumsy Sovol's early marketing was? In terms of "working with companies" Voron is an open source non-profit and they don't directly endorse anyone; at most I think they can provide feedback / sanity checks to those who'd listen.

[@sunriseshell]

@garethevans9789 What do you mean by "The Voron team were dismissive"?

[@garethevans9789]

​@sunriseshell I can name 3 members of the Voron team that made a point of getting rid of their SV08s ASAP. I'd call that very dismissive. They see the SV08 as a threat, not an addition to the Voron line. Voron has a strong (but niche) brand, that has value, but it's being squandered! Being open source or nonprofit doesn't mean they cannot charge for their services. They could steer/ accredit products & quality (standard tool head connectors & cables, tool head mounts etc...). Which would benefit all parties (like 80plus PSUs for instance). Instead they throw passive-agressive remarks making companies think twice about building a relationship with Voron. (I'm a software developer and already have a couple of ideas for Orca & Klipper, something Voron stands to benefit from)

[@garethevans9789]

​@@LouisCYULMore reason to work with companies. A little consulting would benefit the Voron team and saved Sovol a lot of money in the process (while also benefiting customers). There's also potential revenue streams from licensing/ accreditation. Not to mention steering & standardising the essentials. Everyone is a winner!
