#sovol — Public Fediverse posts

@geerlingguy I'm 69 years old and was an attorney for 40 years, many of which were spent in litigation. One thing I've learned:

You fool me once, you dumbbell.
You fool me twice, me dumbbell.

That, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

#Sovol #Voron

Built a custom exhaust flange to vent 3D printer fumes out a window—designed in FreeCAD using parametric modeling and printed on a Sovol SV06 “ACE”. Includes model, slicer settings, and lessons learned (including what not to forget 😄).

Model is open sourced.

With my new Sovol SV06 “ACE”, I learned the hard way what the Y-belt tension dial does 😄

Too loose → ~20 mm layer shift mid-print.

I used Gates Carbon Drive to tune belt “twang” frequency, then built a stress test suite to validate motion stability:

Exploring the Debian (Bullseye) system inside my new Sovol SV06 ACE 3D printer.

SSH access works and the default account has root privileges.
Looks like a Rockchip RK3308 board running Klipper + Mainsail.

Before printing anything I'm making a full OS backup and inventory of what's installed.

Anyone else poking around inside the SV06 ACE at the system level?

We met family members for the holidays who recently began #3Dprinting, and we discussed #3Dmodeling. They use a nice Bambu Lab printer; it operates in a walled garden with cloud services in China which would be a deal breaker for me.

Long story short: I discovered #CadQuery for parametric design, and soon noticed that the market for 3D printers is saturated... I ordered a cheap refurbished #SOVOL SV06 which mostly runs OSS. It arrived today, on new year's eve!

There is lots to learn.

Ok, so I've been poking around in the software. It's running debian bullseye 😭 and has a custom kernel installed for the Allwinner H616 chip.

I think the medium term solution to this madness is following the various guides online to get it running mainline klipper as they seem to use armbian images. I'd love to get nixos on it but not apparent chip support appears.

@kims @MamaLake I have successfully wrangled the manufacturer-provided firmwares off my #Sovol SV08 (#3DPrinting) and replaced the code on all three of its microcontrollers with mainline #Klipper and the Katapult bootloader.

I verified it’s a proper upgrade to the printer’s stock setup by proceeding to print a picture-perfect, gapless, 350x350mm first layer.

The first critical step in upgrading this bargain basement #Voron to my multi-toolhead #INDX dream machine is well underway! 🤩

Now I can keep up to date with the coolest new 3D printing software developments! Eddy current bed probing! Adaptive bed meshing! Hacks ahoy!

I bought a #Sovol #SV08 for multiple reasons that are still valid, it arrived yesterday, the ‚build’ was mostly easy, it‘s a fine machine, it’s large, fast and very loud, and I‘m really happy.
But dang, it is not a #prusa in so many ways I didn‘t know my #MK3 was a Prusa!
Still, it‘s amazing how far we got in about 7 years.

Second print attempt on the SV08. It's made it past the second layer, so that's nice.

I have no idea if Sovol actually contributed the Orca profiles, but it's always a bad experience when they don't work.

#Sovol #SV08 #3DPrinting

Hi, is anyone here using a #Ratrig #3dPrinter? I recently got an A1 mini to try the Bambu experience in await of their next big release but I’m reconsidering this now for … reasons. So I took a glance at Ratrig as they offer an IDEX upgrade. So my questions: do they work stable, can calibrate automatically and print without further fiddling once build and set up?

Replacing the original air duct and a fan on 3D printer (Sovol SV06)

If you’re reading this on fediverse and the layout is off, here’s the link to the original blog post with a nice text & pictures layout.

It started with this ‘blob of death’. I was printing with nylon, when it happened. Nylon filament is a PITA. It was good when I unpacked it and the next day. Then it caught so much moisture that printing was almost impossible. I even bought a filament dryer to dry it with no success.

The prints had gaps (because of exploding water droplets) and then the blob formed when I was away.

When I removed the blob, the old air duct broke.

I searched Printables for a new duct and found this one: Nautilus.

I’ve bought a new, stronger blower fan (5015 24v).

Then I printed the new duct (using nylon filament).

The printed duct is ugly (not very smooth) because I used wet nylon filament.

Then I glued the parts together. Firstly I used superglue, but it didn’t hold for long. Then I used 2-component epoxy glue.

I removed the old fan and attaching plate. Then I mounted a new fan and a duct. I used some random bolts to attach it to the extruder.

I had to cut wires and replace a connector. The connector that came with fan was too big. I reused the old fan’s conector.
Then I had to sand off the bottom (mostly remainings of epoxy), because it touched the bed when homing.

Now the fan works really well. I tested it during 5-hr PLA print and it went without problems.

I wanted to replace the original fan from the beginning, because it was mounted very close to the bed and sucked the hot air. It started to fail and it was loud. The blob and broken duct was a push to replace it.

I even increased the speed of printing from 60 to 100mms and the new fan performed pretty well.

Nevertheless, I will print another duct bc I’m not sure how long this one will last. I fear of heat related warping.

I also have some other on my list:
- #Sovol SV08 + enclosure
- #qidi4plus
- Formbot #troodon 2.0 pro
- #creality K2+
I guess I don’t need multicolor but the IDEX for dual color (without poop) seems to be pretty cool.

Is it bad that I have been going full on lavishing attention on my #SOVOL #sv06+ with upgrades and enhancements and then after seeing the #Prusa #MK4s appear want to regulate it to some corner to gather dust?

#3dprinting

Been trying to #3dprint a #charizard #pokemon for my daughter. Would have used her #ender2pro but she wanted it BIG, so #sovol #sv06+.

https://www.printables.com/model/181166-charizardpokemon

Can't get to it to finish. It keeps knocking over supports. I have enabled z-hop but can't get past this point (see pic)

I have a #wyze camera pointed at it now and will upload a video today/tomorrow for further analysis.

Failed print pics are of separate incidents.

It’s Tee-Time #golf #sovol #sv08

Frisch in Betrieb genommen und sehr begeistert!
Der #Sovol #SV08 ist binnen 20 Minuten montiert und nach lief nach spätestens 1 Stunde mit dem ersten Druck.

Die Lautstärke ist vorhanden, wird sich aber, durch Tausch der Lüfter und passende Config, kurzfristig lösen lassen.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass die erste Mods alsbald rauskommen werden, nachdem der Druck er nun (früher als angekündigt) ausgeliefert wurde.

My #sovol #sv06 works great with #marlin and #octoprint. Should I enter the rabbithole called #klipper?

Watch this video by #Slant3D regarding the company and minds behind #Bambulab. You'll clearly see that the team has insane expertise in the field, no offense to #Prusa here.

But it is like comparing Nikola Tesla and Edison. Two different methods, two different processes and pricedures. Prusa is aimed at the work horses and Bambulab more to rapid prototyping and engineering.

No offense to either company here.

I, to feel Prusa, is a bit behind. No one is even emntioning #Creality, and what about #Sovol? No, just pushing out larger bedslingers in a time everyone just wants core XY?

Mount this cable strain relief on your #Sovol #sv06, otherwise it will break:

Wow! Sovol just released the source files for the SV06 printer parts! https://github.com/Sovol3d/SV06-Fully-Open-Source

Can't wait to see the mods coming, and maybe make some myself!

#Sovol #SV06 #3Dprinting

Yay! Just bought a #sovol #sv06 in their black friday sale for 239! Super excited, it's getting good to very good reviews (for the price bracket) from the likes of @lostintech @joeltelling and @[email protected]. Looks like a great upgrade from my current #Ender3: Linear rails, PEI flex sheet, sensorless homing, direct drive, all-metal hotend, bed-leveling probe, dual z-drive. It'll be a printy Christmas! :) #3dprinting
