SV08 Max recommended modifications and links please.

I'm about to start building my SV08 Max that's had to sit for a couple of weeks before I had the time to start the build.

I know there's a fair number of modifications / improvements possible but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list along with "howto's" on available mods, therefore I'm going to make one for my own usage and will make it available for anyone to view.

Please post your suggestions below with any links you have (and if such a thing already exists, please point me in it's direction).

Thanks in advance.

Help analyzing logs.

Print was going well until it wasn't. Need help to figure out what is going on. Logs and video linked as a zipped file.

  1. This is a new SV08 MAX with enclosure.
  2. Filament is Overture PLA Pro. The filament was dried in the SH03 filament dryer with stock settings according to instructions.
  3. Default profile on OrcaSlicer 2.4.2 for both the printer and the filament was used.
  4. I manually slowed the print down to 70% about 10 seconds after the print started.
  5. I have had other "tall" prints fail in much the same way. Only big prints like this one (400mm wide and 400mm tall range of objects) are failing. Small prints are fine.
  6. One thing I have noticed is that the printer is generating so many G-forces that the magnetically locked glass doors RATTLE during the print. The whole workbench wobbles from it (hence the printing speed slowdown I did).
  7. Code modification: I've done are tweaking the auxiliary filament feeder to not make as much noise (slowed it down).
  8. Code modification: Changed the heater bed to include a PWM Cycle change to 49Hz (can't remember the exact code but that's what it does) to eliminate lights flickering in my house from the bed heating up.
  9. I've noticed strings and small blobs occasionally being thrown out. I've done a full days worth of calibrations but opted to use stock settings for this first run.
  10. I've run a full set of calibrations on the machine itself (including PID).
  11. At time 19:00 or so there is a dip in memory from a steady 579k down to 542k that does not occur anywhere else. I think this corresponds to the error in printing but I am not sure.
  12. I have also noticed a temperature spike in the Host that occurred during the memory dip at 80C. I know that around that temp magical things start to break other magical things. Do I have a motherboard cooling issue??

SV08 Max filament won’t push through extruder

I have a SV08 Max that suddenly stopped extruding during a print. If I pushed the filament by hand, the filament would extrude with no problems, so not a clog. I adjusted the extruder tension arm with no success.

I’ve opened up the extruder to look at the gears and I’m not seeing any broken teeth, but since I didn’t look at the gears to begin with, I have no idea if something else is wrong.

The pictures are as I opened up the extruder. I didn’t wipe it clean a single thing.

Any suggestions from looking at the pictures?

Help with setup SV08 Max

This is my setup for my sv08 max, you can see see tucked away to the right is a small filament dry box at the minute. However I’d like to setup a dry box I’ll get big enough for 5kg spools and print from that. I want to put this box on the shelf I have above the printer. So I’m wondering if anyone’s done anything similar. I want to keep the auxiliary feeder as I have no problems with it as well as using 5kg spool I feel it’s necessary. So I somehow need to mount the aux feeder the other way round facing down and also in a suitable place for it to reach a dry box on the shelf above it.

Does anyone know of anyone or seen and design of something to do this? Mainly it’s just about mounting the aux feeder some where different.

SV08 Max – infill breaking up

I’m having this weird issue on my Sovol SV08 Max where the outer walls print perfectly clean, but the infill/internal lines are breaking up and becoming disconnected, as shown in the photo.

I don’t think I’m pushing the printer too hard. My max volumetric speed is only 12 mm³/s, my print speeds are relatively low, and I’ve already calibrated the filament/flow and the printer.

The strange part is that the walls look great while the infill has these intermittent sections where it seems like extrusion just stops or becomes very weak.

Could this be a partial clog, extruder/feeding issue, retraction issue, or something else? Has anyone experienced this on the SV08 Max?

I am new to large format 3d printing, i just got my printer and calibrated everything and did bunch of small test prints before running this print.
