This looks right in my price range for my next upgrade. I want a core xy, I've been on bed slingers, so this looks good.

Important information needs no excessive words. See the picture. 👇 So, about the early bird price for SV08... ❓ 👉https://landing.sovol3d.com/8XS

Give credit where credit is due: Sovol donates (pays?) $2 per sold 3d-printer to the voron project and publishes their design as open source.

I'm watching Nero3d's unboxing stream, he's saying that Sovol offered donations but the Voron team declined it. Says he's on the Voron team, but idk if that's true or not

He is one of the Voron team members. As to the specifics of whether they declined it or if there’s some agreement I’m not sure.

Oh gotcha. I don't know enough about the project members.

They did not outright declined it. They policy is not to engage wt commercial entities. Therefore, there is no contract or agreement of any kind. Nevertheless, Solvo may just voluntary donate to the project, for the PR.

Yeah the further I got into his video, he seemed to relent a little, saying he didn't know what they (Sovol) were doing, but they (Voron team) refuse to work with / endorse anyone in a commercial kind of way. His initial statement early in that video was that they outright declined it though. Guess that's the problem with unedited livestreams

I didn't know about the donation part, that's awesome!
