New owner of SV08 Max

Hi,

I haven’t even pulled it out of the box yet and I’m already curious if there is a way to manipulate auxiliary feeders for multicolor/multi material functionality. Possibly 3Ddemon has figured something out, haven’t looked around yet, just assuming it’s possible

Yes there are many options. There are DYI kits, fully assembled kits and several in between.

The one everyone is waiting for is

But it is AT LEAST 4 months from availability.

The link below has a list of 10 or 12 systems if you want a MMU not a tool changer.

As far as I know every owner on here is still running single filament.

Ok, amazing! Thank you @cardoc .

I’m also curious about something else.

What’s stopping the Max’s tool (hotend) from reaching 350c seeing as it seems identical to the Zero and has been swapped by Gergo prints due to its compatibility? (Is it that compatible?) Same question about the bed, and what would need to be addressed for it to reach 120c rather than the factory 100c?

I fully intend to spend the next month or so using it in its stock form and pushing its limits as I familiarize myself with the Max completely before I start the tweaking things(3dDemon DKEU, and physical mods) open to suggestions

I believe that was the SV08..not the MAX.

The Max has been known to draw too much power & some users have complained about it blowing breakers while heating the bed…so I think it’s at it’s limit.

@Lion So you think I should be able to hit 350c on the hotend and 120c on the bed of the Max if I just up the breaker amperage to 15a-20a on a 120v circuit, or would that merit a new PSU? Would drivers be able to handle it?

I can’t answer that, your gonna have to ask @sovol3d that question.

Some things to consider:

The extruder body is plastic. At some combination of chamber/nozzle temperature the plastic will soften.
The toolhead MCU is also going to run hot.
Commercial printers that run these temperatures are commonly water cooled.


If I were trying to hit your targets I reconfigure the printer to 230V. You’d probably need to run a dedicated service from your breaker panel.
