Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. When I first received the review request from Sovol, I thought it was just a cheaper version of the Ender-5 Pro that cost $299. However, surprisingly, instead of removing features from the Ender-5 Pro, this Sovol SV05 actually added more features and made some improvements. Let’s take a look at what these 2 machines have in common. They both have the same extra sturdy box frame, the print bed moves up and down to work as the Z-axis, and the Y-axis is controlled by one stepper motor and uses a dual shaft. They both come with a classic LCD screen, mechanical limit switches, a single Z-axis, the same Creality V4.2.2 motherboard, and the same spool holder, as well as other small parts.

The Sovol SV05 added a Creality CR-touch auto bed leveling sensor, replaced the Bowden setup with a direct extruder, and added an anti-backlash spring-loaded nut on the Z-axis. There are also 2 arms made by injection molding to provide better support for the print bed. Besides that, there are some improvements in cable management and the location of the screen. It looks like these are the upgrades that most Ender-5 users wanted to be added to the printer, so this $299 SV05 looks pretty good to me in value. I would like to thank Sovol for sending me this machine to review, and with that, let’s get started.

Besides the Bi-metal heat break, if you are going to print high-temperature filament frequently, upgrade to a copper heater block and a higher quality thermistor is HIGHLY recommended, I finally spent another $40 to upgrade all of them:

Maybe in bad condition, but if you know how to fix some common issues of a 3D printer and have spare parts to replace by yourself, that could be an amazing deal:
