What slicer to use for the Sovol SV01
Use OrcaSlicer, ElegooSlicer, or Cura: each has a ready-made profile for the Sovol SV01.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Sovol SV01.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Sovol SV01: Use OrcaSlicer Online
Use OrcaSlicer and other slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Sovol SV01 models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Sovol SV01: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Sovol SV01
SimplyPrint works as the Sovol SV01's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Sovol SV01 in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Bed slingers are the easiest to automate
The Sovol SV01 moves its bed back and forth, so its plate comes out to the front of the printer. That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead.

What filament can the Sovol SV01 print?
Filament compatibility for the Sovol SV01: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
Filament
Suitability
Notes
PLA
Great
The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG
Great
Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles
Great
The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA
With care
The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints.
Nylon (PA)
With care
Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Not ideal
Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
Best filament for the Sovol SV01
Filaments the Sovol SV01 prints well, Sovol's own first, then the best known.
Printers from the same maker, of a similar size, printing the same engineering materials or multi-material like it, that you can buy today. Compare up to four side by side, with their specs and how each connects.

Sovol is a Chinese 3D printer maker founded in 2018 that sells low-cost printers and publishes their designs. Its SV08 is a lower-cost derivative of the open-source Voron 2.4, released with its structure, electronics and firmware files, and most current models run Klipper. Its buyers are mainly hobbyists who like to tinker.
Sovol is among the most open brands: its printers are standard Klipper machines on open designs, with published files and no cloud. The trade-off is less hand-holding: Tom's Hardware found its larger printer needs experience to tune.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
Sovol publishes firmware source on GitHub; for the SV08 under GPL-3.0 together with structure files and motherboard designs. Newer repositories, such as the SV08 Max, carry no licence file. Sovol says damage caused by modified or third-party firmware voids its one-year warranty and that it does not help with modifying the source.
[1][2][3]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
The SV08 family runs Klipper with the Mainsail interface on the local network, so other software can use Moonraker's documented API. Tom's Hardware drove the SV08 from Mainsail, listed 'doesn't require the cloud', and found 'vanilla Klipper' on the SV08 Max. We found no Sovol cloud service or account requirement.
[5][4][1][11]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Built on open designs and Klipper, so any filament can be used; Sovol supplies OrcaSlicer profiles, and Tom's Hardware notes the SV08 also works with Cura or PrusaSlicer using Voron settings and takes Bambu-style nozzles. Hotends and extruders are Sovol parts, sold in its store.
[6][1][7]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Sovol's store sells parts per model (hotends, extruders, fans, eMMC modules, heated beds), and the SV08's full CAD and motherboard files are public, so parts can be identified or made.
[7][1]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Strong overlap with the Voron community, which Sovol supports with a donation programme, public GitHub repositories and a wiki; Sovol does not give technical help for modifying the source.
[8][1][9]
Pros
Standard Klipper with Mainsail on the local network, no account or cloud.
SV08 structure, electronics and firmware files are published.
Spare parts sold per model, and open designs make parts easy to source.
Low prices for Voron-style machines.
Cons
Damage caused by modified or third-party firmware voids the one-year warranty.
Sovol does not help with modifying its source code.
Tom's Hardware found the SV08's default slicer profiles very conservative and says the SV08 Max needs an experienced hand to tune.
Newer repositories (SV08 Max, Zero) have no licence file.
Track record
July 2026: Sovol launched the M1D, an open-source IDEX printer with a tool changer, on Kickstarter, where it passed $2.8 million in pledges.
[10]
March 2024: Sovol released the SV08, a lower-cost derivative of the Voron 2.4, and published its structure, hardware and firmware files on GitHub under GPL-3.0. Sovol says it set up a donation programme with the Voron Design team.

Yes. You can connect the Sovol SV01 to SimplyPrint via OctoPrint, then slice, queue, start and monitor prints from your browser or the mobile app.
How do I connect the Sovol SV01 to SimplyPrint?
Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Sovol SV01. It shows how to connect it via OctoPrint, what you need for each, and which to pick.
What slicer should I use for the Sovol SV01?
We recommend OrcaSlicer for the Sovol SV01. You can run it, and 6 other slicers, directly in SimplyPrint's online slicer - no install, on any device, with profiles for the Sovol SV01 kept up to date automatically.
Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Sovol SV01?
Yes. OrcaSlicer comes with a profile for the Sovol SV01, and you can run it in SimplyPrint's online slicer, so there's nothing to install.
What filament can the Sovol SV01 print?
Based on its specs (hotend up to 260C, heated bed up to 110C), the Sovol SV01 handles PLA, PETG, or TPU & flexibles well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.
Does the Sovol SV01 work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
The Sovol SV01 works with OctoPrint, and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.
What is the Sovol SV01's bed size and build volume?
The Sovol SV01 has a 280 x 240 mm print bed and prints up to 300 mm tall, a build volume of about 280 x 240 x 300 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
When did the Sovol SV01 come out?
Sovol launched the SV01 in 2019.
Can the Sovol SV01 eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can push prints off with the toolhead, or run your own ejection G-code, and then start the next job from your queue.
