Is the Sovol SV08 worth it as a Voron 2.4 alternative? (www.sovol3d.com)

The SV08 is marketed as a mass-produced Voron 2.4, with a much lower price and a very quick setup. They even say they donate a small amount to the Voron project for each sale.

Has anyone here bought/tested it? What are your thoughts about it?

Are there some limitations/downsides compared to a Voron?

Is it possible to upgrade it Voron-style (Stealthburner, enclosure etc)?

I don't have any experience with this printer, but am similarly curious about it's viability as a "budget Voron"

Regarding upgradabilty, I saw this video recently with an attempt to turn it into a multi-tool head printer. It's a work in progress, but I thought it was interesting

Ooof I've got a vivedono troodon (voron clone) and that thing is constantly breaking. It's broken right now! I might just give the thing away if someone would come get it!

Compared to my Prusa where everything just works it's not even close. The troodon is like a creality but without the cheap budget parts being widely available.

Does anyone know what slicer profiles exist for the sv08?

I’ll take it! I love my trodon 2.0. It hasn’t missed a beat. I’ve been running it nonstop for about a year.
