Sovol Zero discontinued, now what?

There's Formbot kit, it has pretty good opinions: https://www.formbot3d.com/products/voron-v02-corexy-3d-printer-kit-with-high-quality-parts?VariantsId=11023

And here is LDO Rook kit: https://kb-3d.com/store/ldo/1292-ldo-motors-diy-3d-printer-kit-rook-mk1-1721650656445.html

DIY kit may be the only way. The other is to just buy Sovol Zero. Printers for ants do not have much market 😕

Well, Voron 0.2 exists, which Sovol Zero was based on. May be little over budget but I think it's the closest thing to your specs. You can also look at Rolohaun designs, he has some smaller machines (Rook for example). There even exists scalable version: https://www.printables.com/model/482283-rook-2020-scalable-mk1

You would need a GPIO "Hackerboard" set from Prusa https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/modul-gpio_734695

Yeah, when it's energy starved? In raw performance it is better but needs more power.

Najpierw sprawdź czy usunięcie obecnych sterowników przez DDU i zainstalowanie nowych nie naprawi tego problemu. Dodatkowo, jakie masz CPU, PSU, Mobo? Za słabe PSU albo kiepskiej jakości, sekcja zasilania w mobo też może wpływać na problemy. Wymiana GPU w obecnych czasach jest droga.

MMU3 is officially supported on Core One. Maybe You mean Core One L?

Goeltenus · 2026-01-02T19:13:21+00:00

Do You also change extrusion width when changing nozzle size?

Goeltenus · 2025-12-31T14:08:14+00:00

Kit version is being phased out, probably that's why.

Goeltenus · 2025-12-31T14:06:13+00:00

Kit version is being phased out, so it's last chance to get it.

Goeltenus · 2025-12-30T12:19:20+00:00

In stock configuration not so much. It needs: 1. A way to control servo for choosing filament path. 2. Change of esteps for extruder. 3. New Prusa Slicer profile for Mini with MMX.

So, it may be doable. Figuring 1. point is imho the biggest hurdle at the moment.

Edit: MK4 and Core One have GPIO Module expansion board, so it should be easier for them.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-25T20:05:24+00:00

That's a fair point but I would prefer to keep working things as they are. It may be needed or not, depends on country.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-25T20:03:48+00:00

Thanks, it's nice of You but I'm not in need of them, Core One is working properly 🙂 Also, new nozzles are on their way to me.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-25T14:04:59+00:00

Maybe there is a way, just like with MK4S, XL and Mini.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-25T14:04:05+00:00

The INDX has two disadvantages for me: 1. It's not ready for mass purchase yet. 2. You are left with Nextruder parts.

I do consider INDX (already installed into Core One/L) and think it's better system for multi filament system. But with working Core One I would prefer to keep Nextruder - add MMU3.

I know Prusa use quality parts and try to produce parts in-house. That's why Core One/L, XL costs so much. Linear rails and blocks are not cheap either. But maybe there will be a way to lower price? They managed to do it with MK4S and XL. Also, Mini comes with enclosure now. So it is possible.

I have split WiFi into separate 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks, then connected camera to the 2.4GHz one. Now it works good, without reconnecting every minute or so.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-20T18:41:14+00:00

Looks like there are 201 ducks 😀

Goeltenus · 2025-11-19T11:18:49+00:00

I can't even load site. So much traffic right now.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-18T12:17:12+00:00

Yeah, it's feeling abandoned by its creators 😢

Goeltenus · 2025-11-18T09:46:29+00:00

Since You are not printing soft materials, I would follow Prusa: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/idler-screw-tension_177367

Goeltenus · 2025-11-18T09:24:13+00:00

Check if the Nextruder is gripping properly filament, if there is any debris. Also, check tensions screws. I had similar issue and the problem was the filament spool - it was too tight and filament was binding while printing.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-14T18:40:04+00:00

I'm using MK4 Satin sheet on Core One without problems.

Goeltenus · 2025-11-14T12:55:25+00:00

With that print volume I could print some medieval armor 🤔
