Well as able to find a board on ebay for $60. But while i was cleaning up my work area, i happened to look at one of thr extra hear cartridges i had ordered… hard to see , but lazer engraved on it 12v 30w… sigh…the ad was clearly for 24v. I dont think this is my problem as it should not effect the readings i was getting from the thermistor. I tested both thermistor as well the bed and nozzle and both read 115k which is right for the temp my room.
Still scratxhing my head about what actuallg happened . But fingers crossed new board will fix it. Will find out in about 3 weeks
So i think we have probably found the mystery as to what happened !
So what did I learn from this . Always double check products from amazon, even if u know that YOU ordered the correct part. What they sent could be different !
New board is in ! . Everything seems to be working. But the machine is louder then it was before? I did performed a bed level and noticed that the extruder motor was gettting very hot , with out extruding any filament? any thoughts about that?
I got the machine up and working . Its now running a skr e3v3 mainboard with klipper. I have the sovol all metal heat break as well. But lately i cant seem to keep the nozzle tight enoign it keeps leaking around the heating block. I am guess the threads are damamged . Im interested in the v6 swap you did.
The link posted is the new heatblock / hotend you used on the stock extruder ?
Is free shipping and long wires (I had to splice mine)
Also on Amazon (short wires).
Stock Sovol heat break screws into the top.
V6 (not your old MK8) nozzle required.
Side note: The torque retention issue is the same for the V6. The joint was designed around a copper heat break and a brass nozzle. Both are soft metals. If you use a titanium heat break and a (solid) hardened steel nozzle you now have 2 hard metals against each other. If you need hardened nozzles look for bi-metal ones with copper bodies and hard inserts.
