*How This Works...*
The printers will be listed on JPA for 1 week starting *11th July 2025* and ending *18th July 2025*.
All bidding is done **online only** β even if you attend the in-person viewing on Friday 18th July.

*Video Description*
Yes Somethingβs different in this video β no flashy edits, no sweeping shots, just some time to address something big. If you've been following this channel for a while, you'll know we've gone deep on 3D printers of every kind: resin printers for miniature painting, high-speed FDM machines for cosplay and terrain, and budget options that punch above their weight. This time, though, it's not just about the hardware.
This might be the end of something β or the beginning of something better.
For those of you searching for your next resin or FDM printer, especially on a budget, this is the place to be. Thereβs a rare opportunity here to pick up genuine, tested machines at auction β including some of the best 3D printers for miniatures, terrain, props, or even small-scale manufacturing. These arenβt random eBay scraps or mystery boxes. These are printers Iβve personally used, reviewed, and talked about right here on the channel. And now, for reasons Iβll explain in the video, they're all going β fast, cheap, and with no reserve pricing.
If you're hunting for cheap 3D printers, second-hand machines with known quality, or even just curious how many printers one person can possibly hoard before it becomes a problem, this is the video to watch. There's a deeper story behind this one, but itβs also a moment to share the realities of trying to run a maker-focused YouTube channel full-time β the space, the cost, the endless cycle of upgrades, and what happens when the gear starts overflowing into your life.
This isn't sponsored. Nobody's paying me to say any of this. It's just time. Time to change how things work around here. And for those who want to grab a machine I've had my grubby mitts on, the link is right up top. These are real auctions, not fixed prices β and yes, shipping is available for most machines.
So whether you're here for the bargains, the burnout, the behind-the-scenes chaos, or just to see what happens when a hobby turns into a warehouse, welcome. You're in the right place.

![Maximum Printer, Minimum Effort - Sovol SV08 Max Review
π― Buy the Sovol SV08 Max here: https://geni.us/SovolZero
UPDATE: Just to be clear, when i said this has no Part Cooling Fan, i am referring to the fan which is noramlly mounted to the side wall or back wall of a printer blowing air across the whoel layer. this unit does have a hot-end fan. But what i really mean is that bridging performance is not fantastic, similar to printers that do not have a side or rear mounted fan.

π Sovol SV08 Max Review β Large Format CoreXY 3D Printer with 500mm Build Volume
The Sovol SV08 Max is marketed as one of the largest consumer CoreXY 3D printers available, with a massive 500 x 500 x 500 mm build volume designed for makers who want to print big. In this full Sovol SV08 Max review we explore how the machine performs in real use, from setup and assembly through to PLA printing, ABS enclosure tests, OrcaSlicer profiles, nozzle swaps, feeder jams, clogging problems and overall print quality.
This large format 3D printer is inspired by Voron design but arrives prebuilt as a consumer machine. The CoreXY motion system provides more stability for tall prints compared to bedslingers, and Sovol has included useful hardware features such as an eddy current sensor for fast bed leveling, a built-in webcam, nozzle wiper, chamber lighting and an auxiliary filament feeder with tangle detection. The optional enclosure kit promises to expand possibilities with ABS and PETG, although without a chamber heater the performance in high temperature materials is limited.
In practice, the Sovol SV08 Max highlights both the strengths and frustrations of open, tinkerer-focused machines. Assembly takes time and the instructions are incomplete, leaving users to discover hidden shipping locks and vague cable routing. The footprint grows significantly once the enclosure, external fans and filament holders are installed, pushing close to a cubic metre of workshop space. Printing with Sovolβs stock OrcaSlicer profiles shows inconsistent results, with PLA first layers separating, supports fusing to models, and surface quality falling below expectations. ABS printing inside the enclosure suffered from layer separation and warping without sufficient chamber heat, and PLA clogs occurred when the lid trapped too much heat inside the hotend. Switching to larger nozzles revealed that the auxiliary feeder could not keep up with extrusion speeds, leading to jams and failed prints.
Despite these problems, the Sovol SV08 Max remains an appealing option for a very specific audience. For makers who want the scale of a 500mm build volume, CoreXY stability and an open, moddable platform without sourcing a full Voron kit, this printer offers a strong foundation. For beginners or anyone who values polished slicer profiles and plug-and-play ease, the SV08 Max is likely to frustrate. In todayβs 3D printing market, profiles and workflow matter more than hardware specs alone, and Sovol has not yet delivered the out-of-box performance that competitors offer.
This review of the Sovol SV08 Max covers setup, assembly, features, OrcaSlicer integration, PLA and ABS test prints, nozzle performance, filament feeder reliability and overall user experience. If you are researching large format 3D printers, CoreXY machines, or Voron-style alternatives in 2025, this in-depth test will show you exactly what to expect from the Sovol SV08 Max before you buy.
