Thank you for addressing the Z stepper rattling issue! I had this issue on my SV08 and after a little IPA the ticking noise is gone. Keep up the great work and content!
Thanks for sharing your SV08 with us Gergo! I can't wait for mine to arrive! :D:D:D
Great video. Iâm building a Voron 0.2 at the moment and although it might be sacrilegious, I ordered the SV08 as it seems to be a great offer. The better Voron 2.4 kits are easily triple the cost, unassembled. With better components, of course, but upgrades can always be made.
One doesn't exclude the other, right?
nice!! liking the enclosure ready frame and using an older laptop to run clipper (as suggested)
Really appreciate these videos, I'll have all these fixes lined up for when I get my machine and if any of them are still present i'll be able to fix them right away.
Excellent review my friend, keep them coming.
looking forwards to this! best sv08 content I've seen yet!
Thank you! Yes, I aim to provide the hands-on type of content I was craving while waiting for my printers (and other devices) to be delivered. To help prepare so the setup and use could be as smooth and issue-free as possible! With this part we will get the initial setup to completion!
Hold my beer. czcams.com/video/OgX14lbYAJw/video.html
Thank you for the z-axis rattling. I've the same issue.
Relatively easy fix, though I hoped I would be the only one with this...
Great video! Just subbed. Super excited to get mine. I wonder what kind challenges the enclosure will bring.
Good question! I guess we'll see when it comes. It will be a few more weeks at least.
Do you have a video about replacing the mainboard fan on SV08?
Hi Igor!!!! No video about that yet. My current solution is quite brute force. I cut a large 120Ă120 mm hole, then realized my 120mm fan doesnât work so well. So, I printed the insert you see at 16:16 and raised the feet to accommodate the taller fan. Running this 80mm 12V fan over a step-down converter provides sufficient cooling (
@@gerGoPrint3D Yes, something has to be done with that fan. I am thinking to connect two 12V Noctua fans in series, then I don't need a voltage converter.
JĂł vedeĂł lett! ElsĆk között rendeltem meg Ă©s nagyon bĂzok hogy tĂ©nyleg jĂł nyomtatĂł lesz.
Ez egy nagyon jó gép! Remélem te is hamar megkapod. Addigra remélem megoldjuk az összes pici gyermekbetegséget.
Hi Gergo, thank you for the video. Where can I get the stl for that tower you printed?
It's on thingiverse, called "Dice Tower, No Supports, Remix Remix" by lumberjackdiz (sorry, stupid YT doesn't allow links - maybe I put it in the description...)
awesome video! thanks so much!
Hey GerGo - Interesting that the new settings for the SV08 set the first layer for PLA at 235C. I've never taken PLA to that extreme in any event and am curious is this is just the SV08, or should we look into trying the higher settings on our SV07+/SV06+ units. What are your thoughts?
That's a Sovol / Comgrow thing I guess. The T300 benchy had 250°C for the first layer. Beta-testers we all just looked at each other. But Sovol said it is their recommendation for good bed adhesion... You are free to change of course. I eventually changed my T300 to 210°C like all other printers, and I will do the same here.
I print regular pla at 240 on my bed slinger and it prints with no stringing
@@sedalespencer69 I just tested a couple of prints with the Polymaker Polyterra PLA+ at 230 and it worked well. I guess it strongly depends on the brand since IIIDMax PLA+ prints great all the way down to 195.
Thanks for covering the printer. Certainly helps to cover the time until my unit arrives.
Do you know whether the stock nozzle can be used to print abrasive materials? The package came with a replacement nozzle, right? Is the replacement identical to the installed one?
It is a nickel-plated copper 0.4mm nozzle, as is the replacement. While the nickel plating makes them more wear resistant, I donât think they are not as strong as hardened steel is. But the nickel plating makes their surface non-stick. There are different sizes available on the website, but I havenât seen any hardened steel ones yet. I can ask the Sovol team if this nozzle is intended for abrasive materials or if they are planning to provide more dedicated hardened versions.
@@gerGoPrint3D That would be cool, thanks! I do have a volcano-style nozzle with ruby tip, but that will be useless unless I change the entire hotend (which is probably not the best of ideas - at least early on).
Somewhere I picked up that the hotend on the SV08 is connected to klipper via USB. The klipper config for "extra_mcu" indicates the USB-Serial connection. Quite an interesting concept and certainly a nice way for extensions.
@@twinklingwater Yes, I woudl wait with the mods for a few weeks at least, but there are already many extuder mods done by the Nadir team, so you could find ready made models for the mod eventually.
Did you buy this printer when the sale went live or was this obtained independently of the official release sale? I'm trying to determine if any of the initial purchases have started shipping.
No, this is a late review unit. I mean it was not sent along with the beta or other review units, but weeks before the release day. I received it on the 26th of April. I think this unit came directly from China, not from the EU warehouse, but I cannot be certain. In many respects, the components and assembly are closer to those of production units. When compared with beta testers, it is free from most, if not all, issues that beta and early review units had.
Hallo *gerGO* ... _viel hilft viel_ ausser wenn (wie hier) gekleckert statt geklotzt wird. . Sehr gutes Video. Nach frĂŒheren (eigenen) Erfahrungen mit Sovol (eifrig aber unausgereift :) dachte ich angesichts der englischen Tests "Aha schon wieder"...deine Tests/Berichte zeigen mir aber das ich (keine Zeit fĂŒr 60h+ Voronbau) wohl doch keinen P1P kaufen MUSS.
_Sovol QA Support are you watching? this guy, he fixes your Reputation đ_
Aus vielerlei GrĂŒnden muss ich geschlossen drucken. WĂ€re schön wenn du.,gerGO, die entsprechenden Stellen zeigen und etwas kommentieren könntest (DIY?)... auch da wĂ€rst du m. W. FIRST.
Abo hast du schon... aber ich empfehle dich weiter... *KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK*
Sorry, my German is not so great. Could you explain your tip about the enclosure? I am getting the official one, but I can take and publish measurements. I also recommend Sovol3D on github, the whole SV08 is there, all STEP models. You can measure, extend, modify. This printer is a great start, but the prospects are even better. I think we will be dizzy in a month or two seeing all aspects improved, modded!
Oh... I mis_identified you as german expat SORRY
Afaik there are already mountingprovisions for panels (or the like) on #8
I will have to mount panels and a Filter there and would like to prepare.
I read somewhere hat they may ship later and I needed specialities anyway.
May even be you build first mod... *z BOX*
Greetings to Hungary
OK located Github đđ đ
â@@WindwakerDEI actually started learning German when I went to high school in the US. My American German accent was hilarious to my German teachers when I returned to Hungary. And yes, the frame of the printer is all prepared for the panels. I do recommend downloading the open-source STEP model from Sovol3Dâs GitHub, and you can take measurements e.g. in Autodesk Fusion.
OK I figured out my sovol sv07 plus: I just design my prints to 292mm by 292mm by 342mm and they will come out to 300mm by 300mm by 350mm. Obviously there is a scaler slightly off there but I'm kind of new to all this. Apparently SOVOL is not going to respond to my questions so I conclude they have terrible support help. I never would have guessed that. Dave.
That's easy to fix in Klipper! Just check my stepper calibration video â czcams.com/video/58iNKpJVH5w/video.html
@@gerGoPrint3D Yes I did that a while back and now my cube is exactly 20mm by 20mm by 20mm thanks for that. But I am refering to the scaler from 0mm to 300mm in the X or Y or Z directions for example. Your process works fine for small objects but what about LARGE objects. Try printing out a print object that is 300mm by 300mm by 350mm for example and see what you get. Thanks Dave.
Gute Videos. Taugt der was? Hab mit dem sv07 so meine sporadischen Probleme... was immer auf den klipper zurĂŒck zufĂŒhren ist :( ĂŒberlege den sv08 oder mit ein paar Mark mehr in der Hand mal einen Bambu zu holen...
The SV08 is amazing value for the money. Yes, Klipper has a steep learning curve and it can still throw some curve balls to even experienced users. But overall, the SV08 and Sovol printers in general are about freedom. With Bambu you are getting a fully locked down system. Which could be good out of the gate, but no way to improve, with the SV08 only the sky is the limit!
There is nothing you cannot change or even download, slightly modify and reprint components. The whole thing is fully open source!!! And of course the build volume is more than 2.5Ă bigger to start with. I've just printed a 4cm x 42cm cover strip with the SV08 today (fitted diagonally). That's a two-piece print on most other printers.
I have printed that model multiple times and i get the exact same artifact that you said was Z banding.
You mean at the bottom? I don't mean the brick pattern on the sides. That's part of themodel. But the line around layer 8-10 I clearly bumped into the toolhead exactly at that time.
@@gerGoPrint3D i know I am just saying I see that one each of the 4 i printed for myself and my children yes the one around layer 8-10.
@@markbreidenbaugh6033 That's interesting! Thanks for the info. I totally blamed myself for that :)
The position of the line makes me think it's probably the same issue as the bow line you can sometimes get on a benchy. Going from a large flat surface to relatively thin walls makes the model contract differently along that line as it cools. Not much you can do about it except redesign the part đ€·
I am having the same issue with my Z1 Motor assembly. I tried using Alcohol to clean the pullys and belts but it did not help.
You might need to take it apart then and wash that short belt thoroughly. It does get better on its own over time too. Worse case ask them to send you a new set of short belts. You seem to be the third with this issue, the other person who left comment here had more success cleaning off the loctite. I hope Sovol updated their system and this issue only affects this first batch of mass-produced units.
Right if things go well I shall be ordering in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for the Loctite issue.
I hope itâs not going to be a prevalent issue, though
@gerGoPrint3D I agree, those who will miss these videos may get a bit annoyed.
However what a machine for the price, it's currently $529 with no extras, I'm tempted to treat myself to the case and screen if things go well end of this week.
@@Kutocer80 I'd say the case is a must get imho, the jury is out on the touchscreen. The mini screen is surprisingly usable, thought I am sure once I get the touchscreen I won't want to come back to the mini 12864
@gerGoPrint3D I plan on modding this so screen is no big deal, I'll also have it connected to a Linux machine in my workshop so will just bypass the installed controller as it uses klipper. The Linux machine will be on an old i7 6700k so that should do lol.
Thanks for the reply, BTW I'll be getting the case. đ $699 says free shipping to UK we'll see when I come to order it.
@@Kutocer80 Yes, it's free shipping to the rest of EU and USA as well afaik.
Is this the official release or the pre-production SV08?
I am not sure. This is likely closer to production release than the review units you like in other videos (we saw many improvements over beta units), but hopefully they will iron out any remaining problems in the mass production units. Many of these problems are software too, which will surely get corrected hopefully sooner than later.
@@gerGoPrint3D so you ordered yours on launch day?
typical sovol you can fix it yourself !
