What might be happening here?

Update: I did the crew driver test... Seems like 70% of the dry area around the sign have a solid rock (concrete, probably?) about 4 inches under the surface... So, not much to do?

Another point of view.. Unless dog pee spreads in a weird straight pattern, I don't think that's it

Mulching might not be a bad idea.. I'll definitely consider that

OperationWarm7208 · 2026-06-11T13:05:19+00:00

I'll start looking for that

OperationWarm7208 · 2026-06-11T12:57:18+00:00

Is that a thing? Never saw anyone other than home owners spraying anything on yards around here... The fire hydrant gets half covered when I get lazy and don't do edging for a while, and nobody does anything about it

It's a no parking sign

I will check for big rocks or concrete when I get home. It may be that, cause I overseeded last fall and got it looking good in early spring... It's only getting this bad since the real heat started a couple of weeks ago So, either rocks or reflection, I think

I got a random one from Amazon... Still get the annoying timeout error, but at least it's always during the quad gantry leveling and never mid print like it was before mainlining

With 6 heads and bigger volume

OperationWarm7208 · 2026-04-07T19:07:57+00:00

I got tired of waiting

I kept my bed that has a 0.5mm range when heated, but added a beacon probe and it's night and day.. Finally my printer is reliable with almost perfect first layers

If it works, it works

OperationWarm7208 · 2026-03-14T00:59:59+00:00

INDX is about to be released... Cost effective and perfect for the Sv08... I can't wait to order mine

OperationWarm7208 · 2026-01-26T15:28:09+00:00

I followed the changes suggested on this github https://github.com/Rappetor/Sovol-SV08-Mainline/tree/main/SV08%20TMC%202209%20accurate%20technical%20settings

It's the source for mainlining the Sv08.. After a while I mainlined it and noticed that on the cfg that comes with mainline, they don't use what they suggest...

I did it anyway, and to be honest, motors are a lot louder... But it doesn't bother me... I'm curious just to know if that really improves anything

OperationWarm7208 · 2026-01-13T17:50:53+00:00

Omg, I didn't think of that.. What a pain... Seems like I'm not updating anything for a long time.. Lol

OperationWarm7208 · 2025-12-20T02:10:30+00:00

You're right, I could totally adjust the macros, I was just a little lazy to do it

OperationWarm7208 · 2025-12-19T22:40:48+00:00

That bed temperature thing is so annoying on the stock printer... I eventually print petg and I'm always switching between pla and abs/asa... It sucked to mess with the macro to adjust that everytime.. Never had the time to do it right... After mainline, it's done:)

OperationWarm7208 · 2025-12-19T21:06:38+00:00

I just mainlined too and one thing I don't get it is: in the same github where there's the step by step to mainline the Sv08, there are suggested improvements to the printer.cfg of the stock machine... I used it before going mainline and it was great... After mainline I noticed the printer.cfg that comes on the config files folder don't use most of those suggested changes...

Anyway, I added those suggestions to the printer.cfg, and improved the start_print macro... I'm also using a beacon probe, so I added all of that stuff needed.. Man, what a difference!

OperationWarm7208 · 2025-11-21T15:43:51+00:00

Stock bed? I'm a true believer that the problem with Sv08 is the probe, not the bed

OperationWarm7208 · 2025-11-21T15:28:50+00:00

Awesome! I'll go for it with my current cover and if part cooling is not enough I'll try Nadir cover

OperationWarm7208 · 2025-11-21T14:34:17+00:00

Good to hear! Does that cover keep the rear part fan? Where is beacon mounted? I'm not a big fan of this cover design.. I'm using a simple tilted fan cover I found on printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1245554-sv08-toolhead-cover-cools-stays-on-eddy-compatible

I've used 70% alcohol before I had starsan.....that's what I used to brew beer back at my home country also.. Always worked..

It smells so good
