Got everything assembled and followed all instructions to the letter.
1st Power On: powered up → selected language → connected to wifi → selected calibration → Z axis has slight movement then stops → X axis hits right of gantry and keeps smashing against it → Y axis hits front of gantry and keeps smashing against it → I panic, finally remember where the switch is, and turn everything off.
2nd Calibration Attempt: I powered it back up and tried again hoping it was a fluke, same issue, but this time I was ready and had my finger on the off switch.
3rd Calibration Attempt: While powered off, I moved the print head to the back left and ensured it made contact with the limit switches. Powered on machine and skipped calibration. Connected to machine via Orca Slicer. Verified X and Y end stops reported correctly when print head was both making contact and not making contact. Powered cycled → updated firmware → still beating itself repeatedly against the gantry → powered off → start questioning life decisions that brought me to this point.
I double and triple checked my assembly. Searched for answers among other forms. Found one saying to change the settings for sensitivity for driver_sgthrs in Print.cfg ( Print head hits the gantry | Sovol 3D Printer Wiki ) Looks like the SV08MAX has different drivers than the SV08, so this is not applicable. Instead it has a homing_override gcode section.
I am at a loss. I plead to you kind 3D printer gearheads to help me out. I am new to 3D printing. Expanding out from laser engraving and woodworking and such.
