Or perhaps received shipping notification that it’s on its way?
All of the Early Birds go out sometime in August.
Pre-sales will be in September.
I contacted Sovol to inquire about a delivery date as I seen on kick-start that Sovol had 500+ ready for shipping? I was told that they will begin shipping in August. I was so disappointed after reading that on Kick-start as all I reily wanted to know was when could I expect to receive my printer?
Ps. I ordered eight 8 corner brackets as I feel that they will only add to strengthen the frame. The front and back have no brackets ?
I received the brackets in about two weeks, nice one Sovol.

Which brackets are you referring to exactly? I don’t see any listed in the sovol store.
The corner strengthening brackets. They haven’t chosen to use any on either the front or back of the printer. I feel that by fitting them it will add to the overall rigidity of the frame and will overall help to insure against artifacts in the final print. In regards to an open printer I feel it’s a must as an inclosed printer will atlease be alittle more stronger at the back but still is open all across the front of the printer. I chose to get the inclosure and still will fit thes strengthening brackets.

And where did you buy them?
@mich0111 If he doesn’t answer, I’m guessing he’s referring to brackets like the ones that come with the SV08 Max stock platform:
but simiply more of them.
Hi,
I’m not sure it’s that easy to find an equivalent replacement part, unless you have a CNC machine to adapt them.
Hi all. The brackets are the ones that are the same ones that are supplied with the printer . I just emailed Sovol and asked if they could supply me with the corner brackets so I could fit them to the front and back of the printer. They said yes and gave me a price of $30. I have them here now and am waiting to fith them when I receive the printer.
I will post a picture when I get home later.

I wonder why it wasn’t designed with the 8 extra brackets included. Perhaps there’s a potential binding issue with the y-axis rails if they were installed but the y-axis rails were even slightly misaligned? i.e. perhaps better to let the y-axis rail assembly do the alignment for you rather than impose additional constraint with the extra brackets that might be in conflict? i.e. avoiding overconstraint?
Or was this a case of building to a price and therefore removing parts from an earlier design just short of it no longer working at all?
Or,…?
Yes received my tracking and courier is preparing to deliver.

I thought I would have received the enclosure by now, because at the time I ordered it off the sovol website about a month ago, the product listing made no mention of the enclosure not being in stock. Same for the extra hotend. I still haven’t received either one.
@sovol3d is there a shortage of enclosures & parts..??
Please do let us know how it goes. Yours is the final product, whereas the youtubers may have received something different to one degree or another.
Fired it up today really impressed so far the benchy was unbelievable fast ,really solid build , I am running a Comgrow T500 at the moment which I have finally got working well , but it is like chalk and cheese, the svo8 max is so easy to setup and use , so far.
I think the difficult part might be Sovol .
