Was cleaning my printer up and happened to notice all 8 of the 2.5mm allen screws that hold the hotbed to the z axis screws were loose? Anyone know of general or any specific Sovol Zero guides for regular maintenance? I’ve found some for head checks, belt checks but nothing for common screws to keep a eye on? I’ve done about 500 prints on the printer so far.
Cheers,

These are the the screws I’m referring to, all four on both sides were loose enough to turn by hand.
Lately I have had some wild prints showing up, some would be fine then a reprint with no changes would just be a train wreck, artifacts, crazy ringing, and what looked like the nozzle actually dragging through the filament. On top of that some prints would make some weird noises as they were printing, and it was not the stepper motors incrementing on tight geometry. So I started to look around again…
Found the next screw loose in case someone else runs into oddities with prints suddenly showing up…
Check screws around your print nozzle the one that holds the eddy sensor to the print head on mine was about to fall out…
Cheers,
Mike
