Dead printer

My printer is just two weeks old. Yesterday, during a print the machine just powered off. I had to turn off the power, remove the cord and plug it back in. Started it back up, printed for a few minutes and shut down again. Now, I have to leave it powered off for about 30 minutes before I can get it to turn back on. As soon as I start printing, the machine just shuts off. It seems as through a fuse if blowing in the power supply. I have to unplug power and wait about 30 minutes before it will turn back on.

Any suggestions? It’s literally two weeks old.

Hi,
Have you contacted Sovol to use the warranty of your printer ?

Sounds like it’s overheating, could be a fan on the board or power supply.

Contact Sovol: info@sovol3d.com

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too.

Thank you so much for buying from Sovol, and I apologize for all the inconvenience.
You can send an email to info@sovol3d.com. Please enclose the above situation with videos and pictures and your order number, and we will check with the engineers asap.

I have emailed info and, to be honest, it’s been three days now without a resolution. More then 24 hrs without a response. I basically have a paper weight that I just bought. Needless to say, I am not at all happy. Your support department is severely lacking. I am buying another printer today from another manufacturer. FYI, I did send them the videos they asked for, they have my order number.

My problem turned out to be the power switch. I fixed it and have ordered a couple of backups.

I almost posted that, but your cut off after running awhile.
My SV06, first stop clicking when switch on/off. Then about a month later I saw sparks when I shut it off.

Yeah I saw your post on another thread.
