This feature is a free “upgrade” when it comes to print quality, and most manufacturers don’t enable it in the firmware which is a shame.

Some people has the problem to load the filament, because the structure of the direct drive extruder is different from bowden 3d printer. Please make sure you press this exrtuder clip out when you load the filament and pre-heat the nozzle to 180°.Auto-leveling SV03 will make adjustments to ensure the bed and nozzle are at an optimum distance throughout the printing, which improves bed adhesion and print quality. videoPosterUrl": "//sovol3d.com/cdn/shop/files/Sovol_SV06_Best_Budget_3D_Printer_Sovol_3D_Printer_3.jpg?v=1697454898","mainVideoEmbed": { Sovol SV07 Plus Sovol SV07 Plus User Manual Sovol SV07 Plus USB Files SV07 Plus 1.0.8-07P Firmware (5th October 2023) The second issue is with the heat break. I was not able to remove the hotend to access the heat break because the grub screw was damaged and the only “fix” would be to either get a replacement hotend assembly or drill through the damaged grub screw. Either way, not what you would expect. Ensures a stable printing process. Aluminium frame. High strength aluminium extrusion. Enhanced stability and reliability.

I also tried printing my favorite TPU test model which is the Bathtub Tug Boat from vandragon_de. It’s a quite difficult print, especially for TPU. I’ve been using the SV01 for review purposes and out of the box, it has been one of the best printers I’ve had the privilege of reviewing this year. The print quality has been consistently great with a nicely tuned profile. That irregular print platform size actually comes in handy when you need to print something a bit bigger but don’t have the space for a bigger printer.I was troubleshooting the extrusion issue from the extruder, so I printed these 40mm calibration cubes sliced with my Prusa Slicer profile. The results are pretty good but because of the moving idler, the flow rate seems to change during printing and this causes inconsistent layers. A fix similar to what others did for the Artillery extruder can help keep the idler more stable and improve extrusion quality. I still wasn’t happy with the filament sensor so I did end up place a dummy piece of filament in the sensor to bypass it after a couple prints and filament swaps where it just didn’t feel right. Aside from the sensor, I sliced and printed model after model and was really happy. Sovol even included M600 filament change support which is also a feature that is not present on most 3D printers right now. Not because the printers can’t do it, but because most of the companies don’t actually invest the time to implement support for this. And it’s not that hard, but Sovol is actually smart about this and uses free Marlin features as selling points for their printers. And I like that. Dual Z-axis

For setting up Cura for this printer, they recommend using the Creality CR-10 profile. Rename it to SV01 and add the printer. Then, change the machine settings to X: 280, Y: 240, Z: 300 Two stepper motors drive the vertical axis of the SV01, improving accuracy and precision, resulting in a specified Z-axis accuracy of 0.001mm. I like printing this Flexi Fox because it’s a good test when it comes to cooling and also bed adhesion. I printed this one in PETG and as you can see, it’s not a successful print. The tail section didn’t remain attached to the bed until the end which shows the less than ideal adhesion performance of the SV01 Pro print surface. Another test print is this Phil-A-Ment model I usually print to test the cooling performance of the machine. This time, please take the part cooling results with a grain of salt, because I used my custom fan duct and not the original one which changes the results. Having previously used an Artillery Sidewinder X1 which is also direct drive, I modified the profile I was using in Prusaslicer by decreasing the print volume to the SV01 specs and started printing. The print came out fantastic.There’s also the issue of a custom heat break used by Sovol which is not easily upgradable to a bi-metal heat break. This is an issue for the Sovol SV04, and I think it’s the same for the SV01 Pro. But I can’t confirm this without disassembling the hotend, which is currently not possible.
