I’ve been off my #3dPrinting game. I had work travel, a shoulder injury, and started a new job so ability and free time has been very scarce.

But today, I’m changing over and the hot end of the #sv08 to a microswiss flow tech. The SOVOL nozzle system is definitely a weak point of this printer and the 1st party hardened steel was the worst “upgrade” I ever made to any printer.

Let’s see how ‘drop-in’ this new hot end is

While switching to mainline klipper on my #SV08 I did a test print without flashing the MCUs. It was interesting....

This is what i found that I should have fixed by plugging back in what I've indicated in the second image

I had a big crash two days ago on the printer. My first crash that has dislodged the fan shroud on the #sv08. And the printer wouldn't boot.

After a few days trying to trouble shoot and install mainline klipper (around looking after kids, etc) and the step where I need to input the MCU and extra MCU tty ports into the config and I've only got 1 tty.

Oh, the crash pulled a cable partially out of the hotend.

That was a lot of effort for nothing.

Ok, so I've been poking around in the software. It's running debian bullseye 😭 and has a custom kernel installed for the Allwinner H616 chip.

I think the medium term solution to this madness is following the various guides online to get it running mainline klipper as they seem to use armbian images. I'd love to get nixos on it but not apparent chip support appears.

I bought a #Sovol #SV08 for multiple reasons that are still valid, it arrived yesterday, the ‚build’ was mostly easy, it‘s a fine machine, it’s large, fast and very loud, and I‘m really happy.
But dang, it is not a #prusa in so many ways I didn‘t know my #MK3 was a Prusa!
Still, it‘s amazing how far we got in about 7 years.

my #SV08 will arrive today so I can tinker with my trusty #PrusaMK3 without fear \o/
And I‘m currently watching Grant at #formnext salivating over #bondtech #indx, this will be an interesting year!

This print is pretty okay. Bridging is not very good, but other than that it is satisfactory.

Literally the only thing I changed from the stock profile was the bed temperature. It wanted to print at 55 C and that print just came off the bed on the second layer.
