New to 3D printing. Just did my first print with the SV07 Plus with a 3D file I found from Printables. AWESOME! Amazing results. I then tried to print another file. Realized that it does not read .stl files so I tried to convert stl to gcode with PrusaSlicer. File loaded and appeared and preview visible in the queue but when I tried printing, gave me many errors.
The one’s that pop up on the screen for the Ms are M555 and M302. The !! Must home axis first: 42.000 -4.000 39.980 [-2.000] no idea what that is. I tried recalibrating don’t know if I’m doing it right and it doesn’t seem to work.
So
I haven’t turned my 7 on yet, so, no opinion on any printer sorcific stuff, but broadly,
Prusaslicer wasnt made for sovol, and I dunno what version of PS you’re using, and what you have in all the boxes on the printer tab.
This is great feedback. Thank you. I have no idea how that start code gets generated. All I do is import the .stl file into Prusaslicer, hit the slice button then export as .gcode file. I only picked Prusaslicer because the other ones I’ve tried take hours to slice the stl file. Prusaslicer does it in seconds! I guess there’s a reason why it does it that quickly.
Ok I’ll try using a different slicer and see what happens.
Ok thanks for the feedback. I’ll try your suggested slicer and see if it works out better.
I have no idea what to modify in the codes. I’ve just left it as it was from the box and hit the print button but the ones that I could print turned out great.
All of the M errors you can simply ignore. All they’re saying is that those are Marlin gcode commands that Klipper hasn’t implemented. I’ve never had an issue with them.
The “must home axis” is important. When starting a print job, the printer absolutely has to establish a known starting point. It’s called ‘homing’. What it does is move the X, Y, and Z axes to a specific location. It then sets the position counters to known values and associates those values with the currect location of the printhead. Now, the printer can know where the printhead is during the print job.
To ensure the printer does a “Home All” at the start of every print job, in Prusa slicer you modify the Start G-code. It’s located under the Printer settings. Click on Custom G-Code. The top box is for Startup G-code. This is G-code that will be executed at the start of every print job.
Please copy the code that is in that box and paste it here.
Oh my gosh!!! The Orca Slicer worked! All this time it was just the slicer. I selected the printer, imported the stl file then exported it and sent it to the printer. Voila! It worked instantly!
Thank you @Rikk and everyone for your feedback and suggestions. This is literally my second print job and I’ll get more advanced and play around with the settings as I get more familiar with this. But for now…it’s working!!!
Been on alphav4 since it dropped, haven’t checked to see if 2.6 is live
But, just did this model I dl, d awhile back, modern army helmet. and it has some wierd artifacts, I added a bit of fuzzy skin, which helped alot, but it added fuzzy on the inside of the helmet.
But erratically, in separate 3 bands, kinda related to variable layer changes with normal skin in between.
Nothing against Orca, but I would point out that Prusa Slicer can be configured to work quite easily. And, Prusa is starting to move their printers to Klipper, so I would expect them to make significant contributions to the Klipper project.
If you don’t own any Prusa printers there is less incentive to use their slicer ATM. As they move more to Klipper that could change.
The profile for the sv07 is an “optimal” profile. Hence it is slower than the printer is capable of running. I would start out by watching a few videos on YouTube about orca slicer an run a temperature tower to see what temp your filament prints best at, and a flow rate test to check if you need to adjust the amount of plastic being delivered. The cool thing about orca is all of the gcode changes for the test parts are automagically made for you, unlike cura slicer and others. Just thoughts 2 tests alone can improve your prints dramatically.
As an Update, I’m plodding thru Orca now.
First thing, before we shout yippe, one must examine the gift horse, a dentally focused examination to be sure, but nontheless.
all these machines are loaded with a single, 0.4, profile.
So, if you are using your 6+ with a 0.6 as you should be expected to…
your going to be essentially"making your own" by the time you tweak what needs tweeked.
Now, I finished tweeeking the Artillery SW-X2 offering, clicked the next inline SV06
i am using the new beta cura 5.5.0 just come out it as the sv07 klipper on it work very well, also i asked sovol when the new version of there software is coming out they said very soon still working on it

I have an SV06 Plus. I am currently using the Sovol-Cura slicer as we are just learning it. I see that the SV07 Plus uses Klipper. What is the difference?
Klipper is a much faster firmware. It uses much better input shaping for faster print speeds. There is a guide to upgrade the sv06 plus, but it is still unstable, so I don’t really recommend it. The stock sv06 plus should be fast enough, but if you want to try to follow the guide, lookup bassamantor sv06 plus to klipper
