Large Format 3D Printer Options

The SV08 Max seems like one of the more interesting ones.

However, reading reviews of the SV08 seems like plenty of people had problems with that. While this printer is different in almost every way, it still isn't probably an ideal out of the box experience. But at least the price is attractive and assembly isn't impossible and it features a huge amount of upgrades over the regular SV08. There will probably be a SV08 V2 which incorporates many of these improvements. Still waiting for proper reviews.

There is also the Venture XL.. 600x600x600.. Voron.

However, that also seems to be high risk. Not sure if I have seen any shot of it actually complete other than the 4 heavily CGId shots on the website.
These massive printers are not easy to store, so an unfinished project doesn't just take up some desk space, but a whole garage. At least these are kits that should have all the components you need out of the box.

The 600x600x600 size interests me, because at that size, I know I could basically pick up immediate commercial/industrial work that would keep that printer busy 24/7. They would pay me to print basically continuously, and they just don't want the hassle and complexity of managing that (which is fair enough, that isn't their core business). They would turn up with a truck and they would pick up items. With say 4 or 5 printers running 24/7 It would be basically my full time job. But I would have to hand over my garage to that process and quit my current career.

 

sounds like you could print large cosplay parts like chest armor, helmets, shin guards, pauldrons, etc.

 

not much around at that scale that's not commercial price that's not going need you to have some input to get it to work clean.

Much like the SV08 the SV08Max already has a very large established community to feed off. Isnt the big voron already have some probs? i thought i seen them saying something about 2mm and using some sort of spring compensation system.

Maybe rat rig? but i think the OP already has his printer. We are just throwing shit into the mix now not actually owning any of it.

he can do that now on his cr10

 

True, but its still large format printer options. There are several of us interested in such things. New users search to forums..

There is a recent review of the Venture XL.


Problems common to nearly all large format printer kits. Cables not long enough, not actually a proven kit, incomplete or inaccurate instructions.. Then you have all the voron problems, which are fixable but not usually out of the box ready. I hear of problems with the large ratrig builds, people struggling. The big printers often don't get a lot of development work done on them.

Ratrigs are very expensive, often don't have cnc parts, quality seems to be variable (although it does seem to vary depending on resellers or directly from ratrig). Again, reviews of big units with happy owners seem far between.

CR10 is a pretty solid proven low cost option. I am interested if he can live with the speed/quality and how many upgrades if any go on..
