if you are shrinking or modifying an existing partition to make room, it will take quite a while

I haven’t “required” any, although I am someone who enjoys modding their printers, so not all of them are still stock. Nothing required though. I do with mine all the time, although some say one should never do this. I have not yet run into issues with any of my sovols in this regard.

This is true, it seems the repo for the ace plus isnt updated yet, however the repo exists, likely just got forgotten to be updated. Given their track record it probably just got delayed during the sovol zero release tbh. It is taking up most of their attention at the momwbt

I know a lot will say Bambu, but Sovol make excellent machines and their support is awesome from my experience. Plus, the benefit of their ecosystem being actually open, and open source for most of their stuff, vs bambu lockdowns.

I cannot recommend sovol enough,l. I have 4 of their machines with a 5th soon, among others that I have, and they definitely have been worth it.
