SOVOL SV08 Anti Tangle unit. A piece of Junk. POOR DESIGN!!

I had nothing much but problems with mine.

I have to Hack it later in this video…

This Bowden tube input side caused a LOT of issues.

Always coming out. I had to try to hack to fix this… later in this video

But still cause a JAM when unloading filament for me

Marlin could do this:-

Creality Ender 5 Plus

Intelligent Filament Runout and Jam Detector Mk.2

Thank you so much for buying from Sovol, and I apologize for all the inconvenience. Did you already send an email to info@sovol3d.com? If not, please send the above situation with videos and pictures and your order number, and we will check with the engineers asap.

Watch this video poor quality anti tangle unit

After watching my dual Sovol filament dryer being lifted off the table three times (SUNLU Elite PETG) due to filament that was wound onto the spool wrong I looked into a means to detect this issue. The only one I could find that detects filament not moving with the extruder moves is the BTT SFS V2 but it is limited to 2.88mm limits. I’d have purchased this detector if it also detected no filament enabling the simple replacement of the existing filament detector.

Is this a simple plug in to the SOVOL SV08 unit, replace the filament runout supplied? Or damage because pins are wrong, This is my worry???

Or how about this 3D Printed one? Intelligent Filament Runout and Jam Detector Mk.3

Here is a fix for the Bowden tubes coming lose

But resulted if false positives. A piece of junk

I disabled mine and just use the filament run sensor. I wouldn’t mind finding something that replace both of them, but it just seemed very cumbersome to have both connected (And the original owner of the printer said the tangled detection had malfunction and messed up prints for him).

I bought the one of BTT (SFS) and that works fine (there is only one sensor pin available on the sv08 but the SFS requiring two : you can plug only the anti tangle without the runout one and that it… or add a blue/black pill). This requires not having too much friction because the sensor adds a little. I did not tested the one of sovol but that is probably the same issue.
