Metal and Tempered Glass Open Enclosure for Sovol SV08 | with Drag Chain and Filter Fan

great quality and it makes the printer look super nice. the only complaint i have is it should have better seals for the glass but over all still easy 5 star for me

Honestly I kinda think this is a mandatory SV08 purchase, it was easy enough to install and the tempered glass is very nice (one of the door magnets came off but it’s not a huge deal to me). Definitely does its job, I added some insulation to the inside of mine and while there’s a little rubbing I can reach 40C with just the bed heater.

Update: Finally received the missing screws from my kit, after it is all put together the enclosure looks nice, so I bumped up my review score slightly. If the printed chain parts were done properly this would have been a nice 4 star purchase. Hopefully my review will help someone with the decision, after all said and done I do believe this is a worth while upgrade to the Sv08. Well this kit has a few shortcomings, I love the Sv08 and would highly recommend it but the official enclosure has issues. 1) The included drag chain connections, they were 3d printed in brittle Pla and look to be only 2 wall and less than 10% infill. No QC was preformed on these parts imo, so I reached out to the seller and sovol provided a file to print my own. Again not the best solution but eh whatever it's fixed so let's move on. 2) Holes in my sv08 for bottom door catch were too small, needed to drill and tap them to fit. Then after that was done realized I was missing the needed countersunk screws to install the door catches and hinges so I have a half completed enclosure until I hear back from seller again. 3) Color of panels do not match the printer, took several photos to show this in different light and hopefully you can see what I am seeing. It looks very mismatched for a not so cheap product paint color codes should be same. 4) Top glass panels do not have a hinge, this is a minor issue but one change that I would recommend to sovol. Now that the issues are out of the way, some of the positives are the glass very nice quality, paint finish on the panels is 100% covered (no missed or chipped spots) and holds up to minor scratches well. Assembly is very straight forward and overall good design of printer but to get full functionality I'd recommend printing a riser.

Fits perfect

Wiring bracket VERY poorly printed PLA item. As seems to be the case with many others, it snapped at a layer line almost immediately. Holes for the bottom door stop on the printer are way too small to fit the M3 screws. There is no way to attach the bottom of either of the sides or back, thus they can make quite a bit of noise. Finally got a reply from Sovol about the defective part breaking. They sent me a link to a part and told me to print it myself! They send out defective parts and expect the customer to fix their problems using our time. Steering wheel in your car breaks when driving it off the sales lot? Hey, here is a link to buy a replacement. Shoddy at the very least!

Initially I thought this would be a bit silly? But after printing ASA and PETG this is a must! After a bit of modification to the config files it is also even less noisy than before. Without the glass top and door panels though it can make the machine echo. Always tune your printer and resonance. Very glad I got this!

The glass and metal plates fit well and look good, but the kit itself is half baked. Like someone else mentioned, the included printed parts are very poor quality with something like 10% infill and they will break either on install or shortly after. The quality of these parts are also like early 2000s print quality, which I don't even know how you manage when your own printer that you are selling can actually produce better quality than that. But even if these cable chain mounts didn't break, the mounts create a cable management problem that didn't exist before. You are really better off just leaving the cable chain off, even though this could cause the main data cable to coil at the bottom and possibly hit the head on max X moves. In general the Soval SV08 struggles with its extruder cable management compared to other printers, it really needs a redesign. But aside from that, the user manual is pretty bad and I had the same missing screws that someone else on here reported. You can switch screws and use socket head where tapered was called out in a few places to get the missing screw problem to work out without having to order screws, but WTF Soval?

For a big machine like this, if you have drafty environments or a chance of temperature swings, depending on the location of the printer, this is definitely something I would suggest. I've been spoiled by having a second printer that's fully enclosed, and that controlled environment has been a must for me now.

Great printer, very fast but not for beginners. It worked straight out of the box (follow instructions carefully) but I found the SphaeroX profile for Prusaslicer (on github) better than those supplied for Orcaslicer. The enclosure (separate purchase) is essential for higher temperature filaments such as PETG but not for PLA.

Buen empaque. Buena calidad de materiales y buenaaquina para impresiones grandes.

Excellent quality OEM enclosure. Yes, there are other cheaper options but this one fits perfectly. By the time I sourced out other DIY options for enclosures the difference wasn't much and my time is valuable so this was a perfect choice for me. I modified the exhaust and put a much larger and thicker filter for printing ABS although I nexver really did try the original one that came with it... because I could print a bigger one! Very happy with it but it is a premium product but offers a premium solution.

I love the sv08 but... the enclosure is unacceptable. The metal and glass parts are excellent, but the kit comes with 3d printed parts that are terrible. I had to reprint all of them as they all broke on install. I was willing to look past that since I could reprint those. However, as I continued to install the enclosure I was missing 3 of the m3x6 countersunk screws and had to buy more. I am still waiting fore those and I am now anticipating needing to purchase more hardware. I forsee once I correct all of the problems the enclosure will be just fine, but it is not an acceptable product out of the box.
