SOLVOL SHOULD PUT YOU ON THEIR PAYROLL. Your Sovol videos are fantastic. I can't imagine trying to tackle my soon to arrive SV08 without your help. You are now my "go to" guy for anything Sovol.

From what I understood from other reviewers Sovol should be using the load-cell at the back before each print to do the bed leveling (just like Voron)., and not rely the induction probe. That should be used only for gantry-leveling. Basically the Kipper print start macro from Voron needs to be copied to the sv08 so that both the load cell and the nozzle cleaning brush get used correctly.

@gerGoPrint3D

Ай бұрын

Yes, that should be researched. Afaik those who looked into this found the load cell to be less reliable than the inductive probe. Both can be easily replaced with higher quality ones, I think I will replace the probe first, as you could see, the M12 used in my T300 (and other 2 printers as well) produced 3× smaller range between samples: 0.0075 vs 0.0206. An M12 probe costs like $10 (but I already have a spare)

Great video! Please give us an update on the probing accuracy with the new M12 probe, as well as the sound dB with your upgraded quieter fan when they arrive. Looking forward to your future testing!

Örülök hogy egyre többen vannak magyarok is a youtube 3D nyomtatós közösségében, akik nem csak a consumer felhasználókhoz szólnak hanem azokhoz akik profi szinten szeretnék űzni ezt a hobbit. Köszönöm, a remek videókat a nyomtatóval kapcsolatban. Remélem hamarosan megérkezik az általam rendelt masina és én is elmélyülhetek a fejlesztések végtelen lehetőségeiben. A hosszú távú tervem, hogy egy toolchanger rendszert alakítok ki rajta. Nagyon szeretem a multi-material nyomtatásokat, a Bambulab X1-esemen sok színes modellt nyomtatok, viszont annak a rendszernek az a hátránya, hogy rengeteg hulladék keletkezik. Ennek szeretnék alternatívát adni és egy ilyen nyílt forráskódú nyomtató pont jó alap lehet. Csak így tovább!

There are two free USB ports on the side and even a third free port internally (and of course you can connect more via USB hubs). However I am not sure if the RPi would be powerful enough to drive multiple of these cameras. Also, if you want to place it too on the moving gantry, you would have to mimic the same cable route. Why do you need more than one camera? The current one is really wide angle, covers the whole print bed area.

If you calibrate the axis using different filaments, does that change the results of the test? One would think that shrinkage could be a factor.

@gerGoPrint3D

Indeed, filament specific shrinkage does impact dimensional accuracy, and this isn’t something that can be offset simply by taking internal and external measurements. It seems we might need to measure the travel distances instead. However, if you consistently use the same type of filament, you could potentially calibrate your printer to achieve greater precision with that specific filament

On the wiki page there is a firmware upgrade (.deb) link and an image file (.img) link. What is the difference, and do we need to use both? Are they one and same except the .img file is written directly to the EMMC instead of the .deb file which is used to flash it using the usb stick?

The DEB is for incrementally upgrade your current Klipper installation using a USB stick as shown in my video. This method retains some of your settings and your G-code files, timelapse videos. The IMG file needs an EMMC adapter, and the software BellenaEtcher to make a clean install overwriting everything on the EMMC card.

The bed itself is pretty thin, it is only placed on a taller plastic raiser. But, as you can see in my video, it still produces very good flat mesh at 65°C, I see no reason to shim it or anything. It is plenty good out of the gate. The center 300x300 area could be well under 0.1mm range, having only the edges and corners sticking out (very minimally though)

@@gerGoPrint3D I mean, if you see a dip in the mesh, you can place a single or folded piece of kitchen alu foil between the magnetic bed and the buildplate on that spot. It will stick to the magnetic sheet's plastic compound just enough to not slide around when removing prints, but it is easily removable if not needed. It's not even a mod... Easily worth doing for nearly halving the 0,27mm. Sad to hear about the thin bed. I was afraid of that.

Hi Gergo, I know you have tested a lot of 3D printers from Sovol. Which one would you recommend? I'm thinking of switching from my SV07 Plus.

@gerGoPrint3D

20 күн бұрын

The SV08 is a nice step ahead in terms of build volume without increasing the desk footprint (because of the stationary bed). The linear rails on all axes are also an upgrade from the v-slot wheels. Easier to enclose and is capable of even higher speeds. Cooling and noise is similar. Stock mini-screen is a step back, but it does accomplish the job, web-interface is identical and you can easily upgrade. Built in camera, especially with a non-moving bed is nice to have. Overall, it's about double the price but indeed at least double the offering. I keep using my SV07+, but the SV08 is now my first choice when printing something.

On my (old) Ender 5 plus upgraded quite a lot, I use Marling 2.1 trunk release and I switched to MPC instead of PID for hotend, it's so much more precise with nearly no overshot. Does klipper miss this?

@gerGoPrint3D

Ай бұрын

Once tuned, I don't see much overshooting with the nozzle. The bed is trickier, but also less important to keep absolutely constant. Upon a quick search there seem to be some beginnings of an MPC option for Klipper, SV08 being open source nothing stops you from experimenting.

It's not that out of place. The same goes for any 3D printer. You just need to re-set z-offset. That when we establish the distance between the detected height by the probe and the tip of the nozzle. Make sure to raise the probe a little bit higher than the nozzle so it doesn't catch on things. Its bottom should be in line with the bottom of the fan shroud. Then set z-offset using the paper method. That's it! If the probe bracket got damaged you can print a new one from the opensource STEP file on Sovol's GitHub page for the SV06+

Hey guys , I just received my device last week and from scratch, it showed the known z belt rattle issues but another one, that I've never heard of yet. First time I bootet up the device and the led strip and MCU fan were off and could not be started manually neither. After checking all the cables and consulting the Sovol support, I couldn't find any lose cables or so. All of a sudden, when I bootrt the machine 5 times, the led strip and fan turned on ?!?! So far so good, I did the calibration , first prints etc. The next day I tried to boot the machine again: same issue. No MCU fan , led strip shows as "on" in the screen menu and no chance to turn it on manually. I tried to do several factory resets but this didn't help. This is the current status until now; the machine works in kind of 1/10 tries. Any ideas ?

One of the beta tester's device did this sometimes. It’s actually quite dangerous as it allows the mainboard & Pi to severely overheat! He thinks it is due to a firmware issue on the board, or at least some code buried somewhere out of sight regarding the built in initial state behaviour of these pins. Which is silly as it should be in the printer.cfg file! It was mentioned to the engineers, hopefully they will fix it in an update soon. There is no way to change this behaviour as a user as it needs to be done on Sovol’s end. Or the file where they hide these initial states can be found. As far as I understand just power cycling the printer should fix it. But we haven't really been able to pinpoint what triggers this behaviour.
