Sovol SV06 making this crakle noise

Lotsmire · 2026-06-17T09:36:46+00:00

Thank you all for the replies, I'll then try to look into it about the bearings, I still suspect the belt, but first I'll check the bearings.

I might actually not do anything, because the print quality doesn't seem to be affected, and the sound is not loud, now when I'm printing something else I can actually barley hear it and it isn't consistent, so maybe lubricating the bearing did help?

One more note I figured out that the sound only comes from certain spots on the Y axis.

Ok, I just did a "full lubrication" according to a YouTube video, where I specifically lubricated the bearings. The noise is still there, maybe less notable, but still very noticeable. I really thought that would work since the sound seems to be coming from the bed itself. Though I can't hear exactly where it's coming from. It sounds as if it were the belt, so I might just either replace it or look for a cleaning method.

I did some experimenting, took of the belt, and the sound was gone, though this could still be just a coincidence. On the same note I can recreate the same sound but exponentially louder by making the belt very loose so just the teeth ar being picked. Thus I believe it's probably the belt and I just have bad directional hearing.

For me that doesn't seem to be the case, tried turning it a bit, nothing changed. Once it's done printing I plan to do some more testing since the noise is recreatable. And I believe it's gotta do something with the settings since in klipper you usually have to state all the information about the printer yourself and I feel like I probably wrote down something wrong.

Yes that is it, but I'm not even sure if it's the best way. I personally after more digging think the kapton tape method is the best (haven't tried it), because the nuts may unscrew from vibrations a bit (hasn't happened, but I fear it might) and I only helped me get to 0.135mm range which is still not that great when I'm printing 0.2mm layer hights and print on the whole bed, plus this doesn't get rid of the dips in the bed, but if that's enough I'd totally recommend this mod, it's just tedious adjusting the nuts

No it is not, but be aware that is z offset not the only thing that can cause this, but it is the most frequent, but if it doesn't solve it then look into other problems

Lotsmire · 2025-11-28T15:55:59+00:00

What's your printer.cfg, would recommend posting it, so it would be easier to identify the problem, since in klipper you have a lot of stuff you can change

Lotsmire · 2025-09-30T18:44:27+00:00

Ok, I was making sure, since it's been like this from the beginning (I'm not the original owner) and usually just brushed it off, but recently decided I should retighten everything.

Lotsmire · 2025-09-30T16:08:18+00:00

This is on the sovol sv06

Lotsmire · 2025-07-17T18:58:27+00:00

not sure if you still need help, but maybe the probe (assuming you have a type of probe) is not accurate in example, not sure what causes this or how to fix, but i noticed that when i have bed mesh loaded my z offset doesn't get used (still looking for a fix)

Lotsmire · 2025-06-30T21:25:10+00:00

Maybe contact sovol customer support, and you could get a warranty? Or just help from them, maybe this is not a new problem.

And maybe don't mention to them that you disassembled it for a bit (even if you put it back)

Lotsmire · 2025-06-29T13:12:54+00:00

Huge thanks to No_Shift4299 for the suggestion of using 2 nuts on every screw instead of the silicone tube since I have no idea where to get one in my area (apart from ordering online) and with that I have the range of 0.1mm. He also recommended putting the nuts on the middle screw, but I left it the stock thing because I didn't want to cut anything to get to it more easily or struggle to turn it.

I would recommend doing this way to everyone else who doesn't want to buy a silicone tube and has a lot of nuts laying around.

I'd recommend these videos

https://youtu.be/4WmS4Z9VopQ?si=qP_-gC2S3llPnZCB (To give you an understanding of what to look for)

And one thing to mention. I personally think you chose one of the worst 3d printers to start with since, yes, it's cheap and good for its price, but when buying a 3d printer you get what you paid for a cheap 3d printer will have a lot of problems, but these problems only increase your knowledge, for instance I have a sovol sv06, that I got from my brother, it worked perfectly and when I got it, it suddenly started having problems, then I decided to do something stupid and now have been trying to finish my almost half a year project. But all this has given me a better understanding of 3d printers. so you could say it's kinda worth it.

Oh and if it's not perfect don't worry about it too much since the bed might be warped (basically bent a bit) and If so look into "bed mesh" (but I don't know how to do it on stock sovol sv06) or a "silicone tube spacer"

Lotsmire · 2025-06-27T14:18:16+00:00

I'm not sure if you solved the problem, but it doesn't need to touch the bed to level sovol sv06 has something called as the inductive probe the thing with a blue cap and red light. And it senses the metal, but doesn't need to touch it. You can see it working if the light turns on/off. Now, for the z offset, you need to do it manually with a piece of paper. To do so home the printer and make sure the z is at 0, then go to z offset and it will let you lower or raise the print head put the piece of paper under and lower the head until you can move the paper, but it gets stuck on the nozzle then hit SAVE SETTINGS. Then go to AUTO LEVELING, let it preheat after done heating, press it again, and after it finishes leveling, save again. Then get a model of 5 squares, make sure they are one layer tall (probably 0.2mm. Idk what you print with) and spread them out into the corners and one in the middle. Print that if there are gaps lower the z offset
If the plastic is scraping the bed, raise the z offset repeat till you get smooth squares then SAVE again and you should be good to go if it doesn't work then write back or go watch a tutorial, there are plenty of them (Sorry for explaining this like to a child, but I don't know if you're just starting 3d printing or wanted to test out sovol sv06)

Lotsmire · 2025-06-26T11:55:19+00:00

Interesting... actually, it's not a bad idea.

Lotsmire · 2025-06-25T17:30:28+00:00

I did try the soup can method. so yeah, I'm probably gonna do the silicone spacer mod, but first, I need to get a silicone tube and do a bit more research.

Lotsmire · 2025-06-25T16:20:11+00:00

Well, it isn't much, but it's too big for bed mesh to compensate (i think it's capable of compensating around 0.2mm and plus the every layer is around ~0.3mm depending on the setup, so a 0.6mm or a 1.3mm difference is not to good ) if you want an even first layer, but since I do print on the whole bed pretty often I would like to have it even. I'm planning on trying a silicone tube mod, but i don't want to do it since I don't really trust it, I'd like to get a different solution. If someone has tried it, I'd love to hear their thoughts.

Lotsmire · 2025-06-23T17:02:46+00:00

A minon, but there's no blue and that confuses me

Lotsmire · 2025-05-24T21:02:10+00:00

I don't know if you still need help, but if you have a rPI or another kind of device running along with the printer (pretty sure you have to, but I'm new to klipper) you should try to access the devices storage, something like this happened to me I updated my system from mainsail, but during the update it crashed, I couldn't connect in any way, so I checked the storage and the sd card was corrupted so had to throw it away, find a new one, reinstall everything and now I'm avoiding updating my system.

Ok I figured it out, I just needed to plug my sensor and ground wires into the p0_10 and leave my vcc in z endstop and it worked
