In 2025 I bought a Sovol SV08 and have practically never used it. Recently I started using it, and to my disappointment I’m running into some problems
The first is with the heat bed. I printed some objects that fill the entire flat surface of the bed, and on the edges they came out not perfectly flat but curled upward. As a result, the nozzle tends to scrape when printing near the edge of the bed and to be too far away when printing in the center ( Even doing all calibrations before every print)
The other problem is even more frustrating: no filament is coming out of the nozzle anymore. Last night I started a print, then came back a few hours later and found the machine still printing, but the part hadn’t progressed. Tonight I tried to disassemble everything to check for nozzle clogs, but the nozzle was clear. However, the filament was jammed at the"entrance", between the gear and the hole leading to the nozzle. I freed it, reassembled everything, and started again. But when I went to load the filament using the proper function, the filament still refuses to come out because the motor that turns the gears pulling the filament seems to struggle and move in jerks (it makes a rapid “tuc-tuc-tuc” sound) the moment the filament starts engaging between the two toothed wheels (They’re not worn out—the machine has probably printed no more than 2 kg of filament—) and nothing comes out of the nozzle
Maybe someone could help me? I don’t know what to do. Thanks a lot ![]()
