I got a really bad death blob mid print and messed up the rubber tip. I cant find replacements for it on the store page and customer support is no help cause i baught it on amazon
Do you mean the rubber part on the purge buckets? It’s for cleaning the nozzle when changing filament. You could email info@sovol3d.com to order the buckets separately. or join the sovol user group on facebook, it seems some SV04 owners make the part by themselves
No, it’s rubber around the nozzle. It’s a thin rubber square with a hole in the center.
Could you please email info@sovol3d.com with your order id, the serial number under the hotbed, and a picture of the nozzle side to let us check if there was any other problem?
We will reissue the rubber for you after confirmation.
You can literally just use regular creality hotend silicon socks they are the ones that came with the printer exactly - here is the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VKZJKQ2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Dears, is someone using socks on the right nozzle ? in my case, the creality sock cannot be positionned properly around the extruder due the lack of the space along the extruder.
Do I have an assembly problem for this extruder ? Do you have tricks to solve the problem ?
Have a good day
Hi pierre06,
I can confirm that there are several assembly problems:
- the black structure right from the heat-block is not supposed to be a that place.
- the screw protruding from the heat block should not be present - it could bridge the heat.
- The SV04 stock heat-block is rotated 90° clockwise - the heating wires usually point in the direction of the steppermotor
This video should help to get an idea what went wrong.
Good luck!
Björn
Thanks Bjorn,
I do not see any link to a video : can you resend it ?
Also do you know if the heat block of the sv04 is the same as the one on sv05 ? as we will re-assemble the extruder, I want to get a fresh heat block and the sv04 one is not listed anymore in the sovol shops.
Maybe this:
Thanks @mich0111 your indication has allowed me to find the sv04 heat block !
