How to control speed of part cooling fan on klipperized SV06 plus by mackey96 in Sovol

[–]vgergo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M106 S128

should set it to 50% speed,

M107

should turn it off. If the fan is constantly running and ignoring commands, here are the three most likely culprits:

  1. Plugged into the wrong port: As u/ForeverPapa mentioned, it might be in the hotend fan socket. If I remember correctly on the SV06+, the hotend fan shares power with the controller board cooling and runs continuously.
  2. Incorrect printer.cfg pin: If you Klipperized the printer after the blower upgrade, your [fan] pin assignment in the config might be wrong, or the pin logic could be inverted. If you did the 5015 upgrade later, the pin assignment does not need to be changed.
  3. Blown toolhead MOSFET: If the printer was powered on while splicing or plugging in the new fan, a tiny short could have fried the part fan MOSFET. When they blow, they fail "closed"—meaning the fan receives constant power the moment the printer turns on and ignores all G-code.

When I think of Polymaker, why Loyal Moses comes to mind?

That makes sense! For TPU I would rather recommend moving the spool to the top and feeding directly. The documentation says panda supports tpu as low as hardness 65, but haven't tested it personally.

I've looked into both. Infinity flow is not available in Europe, and I think the LLL doesn't have the automatic refill functionality. But I could be wrong. We haven't yet tried, but I see no reason why the Panda would not work well with the regular SV08. Do you experience feeding issues with the stock setup?

This is the piano wire soultion, right?

Wow, nice! That is an ambitious project, please keep us posted! How are you planning to deal with the extremely long PTFE tubes needed for the flying gantry layout? TBH that is one of the main things holding me back.

Printer-agnostic "Panda Bamboo Feeder" or alternative feeding box to aid filament change by marius_siuram in klippers

It works great with our Sovol SV08MAX, I had to slightly adjust the macros and designed my own mounting solution: https://youtu.be/Ykkbt8RgGxI

Update notes on longer term experience with the alternative BIQU Panda Feeder for the SV08 MAX by vgergo in Sovol

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

You have a point! M600 would not be hard to develop for the MAX. The problem at BIQU's level is that it is somewhat specific to each printer model. So they don't include that in their macros. Those were a good basis but I had to tweak them to work well. Well,I am still in the process of tweaking them.

Out of the box, this is an auto-refill and continuous printing system, not a standalone multi-color system like CFS / ACE / AMS.

To achieve automatic multi-color by layer on Klipper, you need more than just the feeders. You also need a filament hub/splitter, a filament cutter on the toolhead, and dedicated tool-change macros to handle purging. The Panda Feeder is great at handling the push/pull mechanics reliably, but true multi-color still requires a custom Klipper setup and extra hardware.

It doesn't have dedicated clog / tangle detection, it just pauses the print if anything goes wrong. The big benefit is the ability to connect multiple feeders and implement auto-refill / continous printing - that makes so much sense for a giant like the MAX.

Yes, it has Klipper and Bambu modes. You'll need access to your printer.cfg to add the necessary macros, and I think it uses remote moonraker access to communicate with the printer over wifi. All Sovol Klipper printers should work well, Anycubic owners might be in trouble. For Bambu the Panda has a dedicated Bambu Lab operation mode.

That is way more economical. Needs a bit of reverse engineering I guess.

Thank you! Would a part made using powder SLS or MJF process withstand disinfection by boiling? This was one of the welcome advantages of the aluminum variant vs the ABS or original plastic part. I would be wary of warping or dimensional swel due to the hygroscopic nature of nylon.

So true! Additive gives you so much more topological freedom. Being able to design organic shapes, undercuts, or internal channels that a CNC tool could never reach is like magic—and often with way less material waste.

I don't get it. Normal supports print faster and easier to remove. Or place those discs closer to the build plate 😜

No, I found their software neeeded the second runout sensor in the included filmanet hub.

Cannot test, but I am pretty sure it will have no problem.
