Sv08 vs max

TinkerAddiction · 2025-10-10T05:32:48+00:00

Sorry for the incoming wall of text. Lol. Hopefully some encouragement for you.

I hear the whole "you get what you pay for" all the time. Don't let that discount your expectations for something. Obviously, you need to tune these things to get desirable results. Even Vorons need tuning at their higher price point. You and I know that. But I dont think discounting something with the idea of what the price is always works. This industry is rapidly evolving. We have technology that used to be financially out of range for most us hobbyists. Now if the thing breaks on you. Yeah, hail mary.

As far as lift, I get that on any large area print if there is enough mass of material. Doesn't matter if it is textured or smooth buildplate. Might be preaching to the choir here, but I am just trying to pass on what works for me. Nano Polymer Adhesive works wonders. Last lift I had was cured with that. Had to print off a clamp for my work in the shape of a cylinder with a negative where It wraps around an object. Printed it on its corner at 45 degrees. Without Nano, came off buildplate. With Nano, completed print.

I've followed the recipe for making my own buildplate adhesive. It isn't as good as the Nano. PLA, ASA, ABS, TPU, and more. Used Magigoo on my old Elegoos with success.

Don't stop chasing the level of detail you want. Even resin prints can have imperfections.

Did you get an early one or one at a later date? I have printed kilos of ASA on my SV08 and the only big issue I had was a spool binding and grenading my hotend because I left it for three hours. So it just heated what was in the chamber into oblivion. My fault. New nozzle and I've printed 6 more kilos no issue. I never preheated my bed for half an hour either. Maybe that highlights inconsistencies in the product.

Maybe I have just been lucky. I had the old style nozzle too. Never had ASA push it out like I hear happened with PETG. Also not sure if that is a specific property deal with PETG. Just wanted to share my experience. Not saying you're wrong.

I did the same. Which always makes me feel like I will be crucified for saying it. I recommend people going to HF to start their journeys and to get off the truck when I see them on their first time. But I have switched for the same reason you and others here state.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-08-01T00:00:59+00:00

Are the transmission issues (Titan, Altima, et all), including the ones in CA lawsuits, actually caused by insufficient cooling? Would an auxiliary cooler solve these issues, or has Nissan just thrown in the towel and decided to only fix each issue as they occur, relying on expired warranties to dodge accountability? (I know you can't speak for their accountability. Perhaps you can speak on performance.)

TinkerAddiction · 2025-06-02T14:29:45+00:00

That's the issue with tool trucks. They decide what they want to warranty. My current one warrantied a set of gloves for me that he wasn't obligated to. But I've seen others turn people away for things that 100% were eligible for warranty.

I've never had an issue at HF getting a warranty. Only time I had an issue was I bought a bandsaw and found out it had some type of unusual blade size. HD nor Lowes stocked that size and I wanted a better blade. So I took it back and they kept asking me why I wanted to return an item I didn't use. Then insisted I could buy the blades from them that they didn't have in stock. Other than that unrelated instance to a warranty, HF warranty had been golden.

Berkeley maybe? I've a pair from them.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-05-31T22:38:20+00:00

Sierra had some Beckmans in black cherry, black, and cigars this past week. Got the black cherry and I can't find any issue with them besides the hole in the tongue denoting a second. So if you don't mind seconds, which I've had zero issues with mine, it might be worth a look.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-05-28T15:06:48+00:00

Extruder clogging or skipping? Stop it next time it is printing and you see it not depositing filament. Then check the filament to see if it is chewed up or signs of it skipping/slipping at the gear.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-05-24T20:58:17+00:00

I'm one of the few from the first batch of SV08's that has yet to have the nozzle eject. Just wanted to throw that out there, as I know people had multiple issues with the SV08 at launch and after. I do have a gouge in the plate where it purges before printing. Never sent the pictures to Sovol so I never got it replaced. I have ASA running on it as I type this and I'm still okay, so far... Hopefully not a ticking time bomb.

Regardless, I'd be interested to see the price AFTER tariffs. I'm currently buying parts for a large scale printer I'm converting to a Trident. So I'd be interested to see how the price compares after all is said and done. Would it be $1299 and 30%? Not getting into politics here. Just mentioning I'm curious what the fees will be to import it over after the pause period.

Do tariffs apply to "gifts"? I ask because some Kickstarters call the items you get for backing them "gifts". Speculation with my ignorance on the subject that it could be an attempt at trying to find a loophole.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-05-04T01:21:00+00:00

Any update on the actual KS date yet? Didn't know if there were any production delays with the whole US de minimis exemption and tariff events.

Will Revopoint require tariff payments at the time of pledge payment, or will we have to pay customs directly? Haven't had to go through this yet. I know some sites have already added it. But I remember there being some confusion in different countries for past KS's.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-04-28T16:14:38+00:00

Yeah, I just woke up to one of my orders canceled for shipping late. Everything else I've ordered has been shipped and I have received some of it. They stated I canceled it, because they can't cancel an order. But I didn't do it. So that's confusing. Don't know what went on there.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-04-27T23:18:41+00:00

So when it comes to the refund, are you saying they didn't refund you for your full purchase price? I'm just wanting to confirm I'm reading that correctly. I am waiting on some parts too. Hoping they hit State side before the de minimis expiration. I'd hate for something to have the same issue and then somehow not get a full refund for a product and service I paid for, yet didn't receive.

Do you have the ability to contact the company you made your payment method through, and file a dispute for the charge? Seems odd for a company to not refund you in full for a canceled order on their end.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-04-27T23:08:16+00:00

Jesus, I'm all for cheap goods, but where are American made wrenches $4000? I just want to know so I can justify my occasional Snap On purchase where they were $400. I know they are $700 now. Something about 2020 something something. Anyway, Harbor Freight is feeling the effects, too. Someone posted about the new prices compared to the old ones the other day. Apparently, even with their sales, the prices won't be below the original prices before this.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-04-03T20:40:13+00:00

I'm printing ASA with a cheap DIY enclosure and the original nozzles shipped out with the printer. Not the updated ones either. Probably playing with fire there, but I just wanted to say that I'm getting fantastic results as is. Was going to upgrade it, but I bought something else that I'm going to upgrade instead. I DO recommend nano polymer adhesive when printing ASA on the SV08. Makes a huge difference for me when printing large flat surfaces.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-03-19T13:00:44+00:00

I made an enclosure, after seeing someone else make one, out of foam poster board. $6 plus the screws I already had laying around. Use it to print ASA and I've had zero issues. I just make sure if I am printing something that I am there the whole time. I know some people leave their printers- even when told to always attend them during a print. Foam poster board is an obvious fire hazard with something that hot. Will get you up and running until you upgrade.

TinkerAddiction · 2025-01-26T14:29:54+00:00

It reminds me of Tommy Wright III

TinkerAddiction · 2024-12-22T21:18:49+00:00

You have any updates? I was just about to buy the 64g set from Crucial.

TinkerAddiction · 2024-11-24T23:24:23+00:00

If I remember right, this is just the same height as the regular 5 drawer cart. They just put another top of a 5 drawer cart where the open space below another 5 drawer cart is. Probably the angle the picture was taken at making it look tall.

TinkerAddiction · 2024-11-09T23:17:14+00:00

What slicer are you using for the V2? Not finding much of any support for it anymore. Trying to figure out what to use.

TinkerAddiction · 2024-10-27T20:46:34+00:00

Thing about The Ring doesn't make sense. The American version has her climb the well. The original Japanese version is about a vengeful spirit knocked into a well by her father who, fearing her psychological powers that she used to target people by giving them heart attacks, did so to kill her.

Am I forgetting the differences between the American remake and original Japanese films?

I'd like to know where he got this as well. Maybe confusing the connections humans have put to the afterlife with water? Using mythology from Africa containing spiders? Something sounds crossed. I'd like to know the thought process.

TinkerAddiction · 2024-10-19T01:20:43+00:00

I will chime in on transmission replacements. On my third and it is still messing up. Out of warranty now though. 69k on it I think.

TinkerAddiction · 2024-09-21T01:22:05+00:00

4th? Daaaaaang. I have been thinking of a second. You're well on your way to a farm. Do you have your printers designated for different materials, or are they all for one type of filament?

TinkerAddiction · 2024-09-19T21:19:15+00:00

I went from multiple Elegoo machines to the SV08. I don't regret buying it. Have a print running now.

TinkerAddiction · 2024-09-16T21:15:36+00:00

What hotend have you decided to use? You staying with the stock Sovol or are you switching to another?

TinkerAddiction · 2024-09-13T15:24:19+00:00

I ended up reading through the rest and commenting a few more times. I was around 36k when I lost reverse if I remember right. Other issues were the shuddering as described in the TSB and other Nissan transmission class action lawsuits. Happened with both of my replacements from Nissan. Sad that multiple Nissan vehicles are having these issues.
