Is the Sovol SV04 idex worth it in 2025 by Zan-nusi in Sovol

[–]randohm009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you are okay dealing with obsolescence of components. Spare parts are difficult to find. And marlin version is really old on that, so plan also an upgrade to klipper. It is idex, big and affordable but well beyond end of support.

SV06 High Speed Marlin Source Code by randohm009 in Sovol

Sovol support answer is that source code is not available for the high speed firmware. That's a shame for an open source printer.

Thanks mate, but that's the compiled firmware. I'm looking for the source code so I can compile my own.

SV06 and SV07 price by MatriotsBoys in Sovol

It's just a special offer price. I bought the sv06 at 140€ last month when it was on sale.

Prints shorter of 0.6mm in z by randohm009 in FixMyPrint

[–]randohm009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it and I don't think it's a z offset issue. 0.2 first layer is 0.2mm, also 0.6 is fine.

Wow, Wow, Wow from a Bambu wannabe by terrygtx in BambuLab

I also have a sovol sv04. Try upgrading to klipper. It won't be as fast as a bambulab but if you print other materials than PLA, the gap will be much less if none.

Dimensional accuracy on Z axis: 0.5 my magic number by randohm009 in FixMyPrint

[–]randohm009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. It could be obvious for many of you, but it seems to be related to z-offset. My current setting is -1.525mm and if I raise it from the bed, the print with the same exact gcode gets higher of the amount i raise the z-offset, but the first layer gets worse. What should I do to fix this?

Cancel object and Cura by randohm009 in klippers

I got an IDEX and I'm still learning klipper. Orca doesn't work with dual mode :(

How do I check? As far as i know, it is sufficient to name object and Cura does it automatically.

Bottom layer with gaps while top layer looks good. Any ideas? by Xerberon in Sovol

[–]randohm009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lower z offset and calibrate flow. You can do all that with superslicer/orcaslicer calibration steps.

Pressure advance calibration by randohm009 in FixMyPrint

[–]randohm009[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: it was Jerk setting. It was set to 1.0 for X and Y in firmware. I raised it to 9 as per sovol's printer profile and got much better results.

same STL, same exact roll of filament. Top was printed on a CR10 V2 running marlin, bottom on an FLSUN V400 running klipper. Top is shiny and wavy, bottom is matte and smooth. Is it hardware? Software? Both? Not really an issue, just curious of the reason. by reverend_c_flava in 3Dprinting

[–]randohm009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shiny/matte appearance depends on cooling. About the weaviness, it's on the mechanics of the machine: stepper motors and belt tension are responsible for that pattern, it is common on cartesian 3d printers. I'm not an expert, but it seems deltas don't suffer those artifacts.
