I'm not near my printer at the moment, but when you home, I believe the Z height is 5mm. So even though you set the Z-Offset, the home position is not the same. In the menu, you should be able to see if the offset you entered/saved is still set. It's also on the main page of Mainsail in the Toolhead menu. Hope this helps!

Hey, do you mean this fan? tinyurl.com/4zr675rj If so, it's on all of them. You have to remove the screws and the bracket holding it on (the two holes left on the hot end is where you will mount the nozzle cam bracket). I made this video ( czcams.com/video/hw39j5DV56M/video.html ) which goes more in depth, and in the description are the fans I used and everything you need. The only difference is that I had to use this fan shroud ( www.printables.com/model/483474 ) instead of the one from that video to work with the nozzle cam. Unfortunately, some soldering will be needed because the plugs on the fans are different sizes (explained better in the video). Hope this helps!

I'm extremely grateful for your support! 🥰

Awesome! Glad it helped! 😀

Personally, I couldn't go back to the non-klipper version. Having the faster printing and not having to deal with USB cables or SD cards to transfer the model to the printer. It's a night and day difference to me. However, the non-klipper version is a great place to start if you're a beginner. You can add the Klipper screen later down the road once you get down the basics. I tell everyone I know that the stock SV06 was the easiest printer I've ever owned to set up and get good prints right out of the box. That being said, the SV07 has the Klipper screen already set up and it's on sale right now on the Sovol website for not much more than the SV06. tinyurl.com/jzf2e3hj

@@Avel I have looked in to the sv07, but it seems like it's just barely outweighed by the 6. If it helps, I've owned a printer in the past, albeit a very mediocre one. If you own an sv07, which of the 2 would you say is better for a semi-expierienced user?

I don't own the SV07, so I can only say that the SV06 is good. But they're both geared towards beginner/intermediate. If you're up for using Klipper, I'd say go SV06 + Klipper screen. If you're hesitant about using Klipper or just want to wait, the stock SV06 is still really good for the price. Albeit, slower and you won't have the wireless file transfer for printing. But as I said, you can always upgrade to the Klipper screen later. It's really up to you. Either version sounds like it'll be a good upgrade from what you had.

@@Avel 👌

For certain filaments. I've personally had to use it on PETG and TPU filaments. But there are others that are affected by moisture.

Glad to help! Thank you for watching and commenting 😁

I just used Matterhacker PLA, and so far so good. If they end up wallering out or something I might do them again in PETG, though.

Once you splice the original fan's plug onto the new fan, you just plug it back into where you unplugged it. You're removing one fan and replacing it with another.

"I once worked with a man for 3 years and never knew his name. Best friend I ever had."

Dang it, I meant to mention this in the video 😬 www.printables.com/model/483474

You complete star! Many thanks. PETG?

Yep, but you could always go with something higher temp if you've got it.

I'm not that advanced yet - still a baby... PETG is as fancy as I go. Can I just say that your videos have been really helpful since I started in this game back in March. Well presented and explained so that an old fella like me can understand 🤣 Mk4 nozzle going down now!

@@Irvin1230 Glad to help, and I appreciate the kind words! 😁

Someone suggested command strips which would be a good idea too. I don't mind the screws. This desk is used and abused. 😆

That's a good alternative! I don't mind the screws though. This desk is used and abused 😆

I can't remember exactly because of how long ago it was, but if I had adjusted anything for tolerance, I typically would do it by .20mm

@@Avel Well thanks for the video. I'll just try without tolerance and if it doesn't work I'll just have and extra box for something else. Thanks 👍.

I had never heard of him until your comment, but this song is free use/copyright free. And I'm sure we're not the only two using it. No one "stole" anything. czcams.com/video/x48kgfc-_NM/video.htmlsi=Qg8c89x6GthfckIV

@@Avel hilarious reply 😂 keep up the good work man 👍

Agreed. I just printed something similar to that which didn’t require hardware and the lid easily falls off. Specially after smoothing the ABS print on acetone

@@carloso5599 I could see that after smoothing, did you try again with less tolerance on the hinge for shift of material after smoothing. Also one thing I’ve been trying is adhesion bed design that you can buy adhesion plates and they come with different designs, sometimes it’s hard to get it to stick to the plate though but looks cool

I had an issue where the IP was showing up but I couldn't get into Mainsail. On the screen where it shows your connections ( 14:06 ) at the end of the last line it shows a number and then '"dBm". That's the WiFi signal strength. Mine was something like -90 dBm, which is very weak. If yours is weak, try moving the printer closer to the router, or what I did was buy a WiFi extender from Amazon for like $16 and put it in the room with the printer and connect it through that. (The one I bought a.co/d/aKkcQFM)

For me, time lapses. czcams.com/users/shorts7OTgsEF4paA?feature=share

It's cool! Also, you can monitor your printer from another room on your phone for example.

@@TNX255 it is kinda cool, but the time lapses it produces are kinda shit, no? I guess if you have a perfectly aligned seam, maaaaybe.. but even then a stationary cam is better. this is different i guess? But different for the sake of different isnt great :( but it is cool

@@Voidroamer That's just because of the quality of the camera, Avel did say it's 10 years old. You can get better ones.

That was to keep the hot end temperature stable because I've changed my part cooling fan. If you change yours or notice that your printing temperature isn't holding fairly steady, it's a good idea to do this.

I haven’t taken that step yet. I’m a 3d printer virgin. I’ve been looking into it for the last few weeks and overdosining on how it all works. Resin still trips me out. Was a complete mystery or magic before I looked it up. Bambu a1 I really like but the sv06 is so cheap from Amazon but worried about the extra hassle that the a1 seems to have way over the sovol So sitting on the fence right now and happy to watch more vids. You remind me of old tony. So nice work on the vids. Really nice.👍

Thanks 🙂 I appreciate you watching! I hear you. They're both good printers, but each has its pros and cons. I'm looking at the SV08 now, myself. I'm sure whichever one you choose, you'll be happy.

That's awesome! 😁 I appreciate that! And the model, it works perfectly. Mine has a light too, but it's really dim. Could be due to the age, though.

Thank you 😁

I can't remember exactly because of how long ago it was, but if I had adjusted anything for tolerance, I typically would upscale the model (the GoPro model in this case) by 0.20mm on all sides before 'subtracting' it from the parts that would be printed in TPU. Yep, TPU can be squishy, so it's very possible I didn't adjust here.

Haha, thanks 😁 Definitely go for the SV07 if you're wanting Klipper out-of-box. I'd like to check out the SV08, too. I think that's going to be a great printer from what I've seen. But it's a lot more, price-wise. The Klipper screen is a great add-on for the SV06 too, now that I've used it a bunch, there's no way I could ever go back. I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose. 🙂
