r/Sovol

Hello, I’ve equipped my Sovol SV08 with a Zero toolhead. The toolhead ran without any issues for 5 months, but now, all of a sudden, the toolhead motor rattles when I try to unload the filament. It runs without rattling in the other direction. I took the toolhead apart to see if something had gotten caught between the gears or if there was another obvious reason why the motor rattles during unloading, as if something were jammed. I then noticed that there were very small metal shavings stuck to the housing. Otherwise, I can turn the gears by hand without much resistance.

I’d like to hear your opinion on the extruder gears because I don’t know if they’re defective or if they’re still in good condition.

I also wanted to clean the whole thing and would like to re-lubricate it. What should I use—would Microlube GL261 work?

Would replacement gears from a different extruder work better?

I’ve attached a few pictures so you can get an idea of the situation.

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Volker

Would love to get everyone’s speculation.

Tengo una creality ender 3 v3ke, pero no sé muy bien cómo usarla, es filamento pla a 220 y 60 la cama pero mi profe tiene una crelaity SE y cuando hizo el borde no le quedó así, a él le aparecía continuo y finito a mi no, aparte puse a imprimir y los vendimiadores no se porque no se activan, tengo que mover parámetros o algo? (Estoy usando cura) dejen veo si puedo agregar después la foto

I saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share it for those not on FB

Be great to have these available as a kit ready to rock.

SV08: From stock to swap‑ready tool changer – and it's not even theirs yet!

>Thanks to our amazing community member Ken Morris!

>While waiting for their own SV08 MAX to arrive, this maker is already deep into building a tool changer for a friend – on an SV08, of course.

>What's cooking:

>· Converted to Mainline Klipper before even starting

>· 5 tool heads planned (soon 6)

>· Franken‑parts from the best incomplete sources

>· Custom ducts to relocate the rear fan vertically

>· Finishing umbilicals – aiming for multi‑material prints by this weekend

Just got this cutie couple weeks ago and committed to outperform anything out there! Just give me couple of couple months.

Now looking for honest advise, would Z Max with 2209 drivers (EBB36 board) on 24v be a meaningful upgrade, putting aside Z Max perks and Pi 4 extra headroom? Or it'll really shine going full hardcore with 5160 drivers on 48v and solid steppers? Keeping in mind whole electronic setup, wiring and config effort. I'm still within amazon's return window and won't like to spend much more for couple months.

on one hand it’s a joke as it’s a Sovol Zero. And the issue is with Sovol Zero QC

But issue was real on my Zero

- the Z belt was installed in wrong orientation making teeth engagement non-existent.

I found this after taking a surface map. and then going the regular route of “hold one leadscrew and try to rotate the other to compensate”.

the screw was rotating almost with no effort.

i opened the cover and found this.

now belt is set in correct orientation and everything seems fine with this crazy little machine.

I've had my Sovol SV06 Ace for a year now. I've put it through its paces and gone through 5 rolls of CF nylon with it. I had a Durozzle 0.4mm ruby nozzle on it when the first leak happened. I noticed it when bits of darker filament ended up in my lighter prints. After removing the heat sock, I found lots of melted plastic around the heater block, like in this picture. After cleaning it, I swapped back to the stock nozzle, even going so far as to clamp the heat block in a vise and tighten the nozzle with a socket alongside the heat break. After a few weeks of simple PLA prints, I had this leak happen. I've since replaced the hot end, but I would like to know what possibly caused it to prevent it with my new hot end.

This happens sooo often and im losing my mind. This is overture rock pla. I printed nice and slow and it was held to the bed very well.

IDK what happened it sliced ok a few weeks ago but when updating the settings it won’t work now and the GCode keeps getting shattered like broken glass. Idk what to do atp I’ve tried everything.

I’m using the Sovol SV06 Plus Ace 3D printer and attempting to slice via orca slicer.

Hi all !

I just printed this HDD enclosure that I designed. This is printed in PETG. The lower part of the print came out really good, but the higher part, where both sides of the hexagon vent are meeting up came out completely messed up.

I noticed a lot of noises where the nozzle was bumping into the part. I think this is because the bed movements were causing the part to wobble. I added a drawing trying to explain that.

How can I fix this ? Would adding supports help ? IA suggested lower acceleration settings and print speed, but this is already a 10 hours print, and the bottom is looking great. Can I lower the speed only for the last part ? I don't know how to do that in Orca.

Any tips is appreciated. I use Orca slicer with a Sovol SV06 ACE. Thanks

Printer :

• Sovol SV06 Ace
• PETG black form a French brand (Arianeplast) Settings :
• Bed temp 80, nozzle temp 245
• Speed : there are so many different values, I am using the default values for the printer. Which matter the most here ?

Hey guys I can really use help with my Sovol sv06 printer I got it second hand from a coworker and I love it it’s so much fun and I have loved upgrading it but I can only print smaller things because I can’t get a good first layer over the whole bed. I have tried just about everything, I printed the spacer blocks to true up the stepper motors, I have used kapton tape to get my bed as level as possible. I have also added the bed mesh into the starting gcode. I’m running marlin 2.0.0 if that matters. Looked into updating firmware but it looks like the latest Sovol has officially released is 2.0.0? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks! It almost seems like the bed mesh isn’t working at all.
