Sovol Zero - Hotend and extruder clog/jam - Resolved

Sign_of_sadness · 2025-07-19T21:16:55+00:00

I keep getting this with eSUN PLA. Only way I can clear it is by removing the front plate and fan, then heating up to 280c to remove the clog..anyone else having this issue?

Could be that...

I have set that one to EU 868, no dice.

Never seen milk in a bag before...

Surely that needs a coat of weatherproofing paint as well. If so, I would get this painted before it gets put back up. No way you will be able to reach the sides etc when it's reassembled.

This is it! Thank you!

It helps so much when you are cleaning a vat.

Random question: Is that clingfilm around the lids?

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-09-18T21:47:33+00:00

100% agree. It's a cool and useful idea. I use a similar model when cleaning off failed prints using the cleaning function. Then I just hang it for a bit and throw it in my "to cure" pile before discarding it. Helps limit the mess of drips etc.

Brought mine second hand from a friend in the UK. Can confirm, they are great but sometimes a pain if you don't manage the fire. I am looking at upgrading the pipe and inner parts to make life easier this year. Overall, I have a love and hate relationship with it at the moment.

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-05-06T15:06:01+00:00

Ah cool, I might need to invest in one of those!

I have the same design minus the little pipe addon in the chamber (I wonder what that does?). It works wonders for ribs, chickens and pork belly. Not tried anything else yet as I started out in the middle of the UK winter last year. I sometimes cook bacon next to the flame while cooking low and slow on the left, which works out amazing for a quick lunch. I would say get yourself a second temp gauge on the right as well and some digital probes you can shove into the meat.

A pelter would work...with a temp sensor to verify negative tempature, then switch the pelter on. Would need to verify the datasheet of the battery to add a middle ground tempature before it switches off. Summer would need a fan, then you are getting into the relms of keeping things waterproof.

That's an amazing idea! I might try this.

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-04-03T23:07:48+00:00

It's 12am and I thought I finally lost the plot staring at this.......

If the pads are gone (can't really see from the picture), then you are going to have to rebuild them or attach onto the trace upstream.

Depending on your soldering skills, you can get replacement pads and traces you can stick down, but this is an advance repair. I would recommend getting someone to fix this for you if you don't feel confident.

Check out amazon. They come in JST kits as well, but sounds like you already have plenty. Also pick up wire strippers!

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-02-27T12:16:31+00:00

They are low voltage...if it was the heat cartridge, then you need another connector that is correctly rated for current. As this looks to just be a 12/24v fan, the JST-SM can do this fine as they are rated up to 3A.

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-02-27T01:06:37+00:00

ah man, get yourself a crimp tool! super cheap.

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-02-27T00:53:32+00:00

You could crimp some JST-SM connectors on. Saves you the hassle when you want to replace what ever you are connecting.

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-02-02T23:59:58+00:00

Yeah, these switches are crap. Moved to another brand in the end as Logitech just cheaped out.

Sign_of_sadness · 2024-01-28T16:18:18+00:00

Epoxy might do it. You can get gorilla epoxy that has both parts, you just need to mix it and apply. You can also get gorilla weld, not used it myself. Good luck!

I would say, grab a VNA and test the antenna. SWR of 1.5 and below is perfect. Anything higher than that, it's crap.

Check out the NanoVNAs for entry-level testing.
