SV08 Max layer shift on test benchy

My SV08 Max layer shifts x and y about 1/3 of the way up on the included test benchy every time. What is the problem here? Belt tension? what is the proper frequency to tension the belts to on the MAX?

Also, the wifi wont connect at all, to my 2.4ghz only ssid, when the router is 15 feet away and every other device gets full strength signal…

Hi @sovol3d

Something for you

Other users have had success using the SV08 procedure.

Use care to maintain the 150mm center to center distance when measuring frequency.

OK thanks I have set the belts to 110hz and it seems to have fixed the layer shift.

My wifi doesnt seem to work tho, I even tried installing an wired external antenna and moving the antenna right next to the wifi router and it doesnt detect it. I have checked the antenna connection on the main board under the machine and reseated it, but It didnt help. Is my main board defective? Very strange.

Hi. You can refer to the Sv08 procedure. The only difference is the gantry calibration method. The SV08 verifies that there are no gaps between the frames at the rear, while the SV08 Max verifies from the front. A video tutorial on belt adjustment for the SV08 Max is currently in development and will be updated soon. It is recommended that the A and B axis belt tension be calibrated at a target of 140Hz. Measure 150mm at each of the front and rear positions for calibration, repeating 2-3 times.

Please check the security type of the router. It can only be WPA2 and is not compatible with WPA3.

Thanks, My router is set to WPA2, its set to 20mhz, 2.4ghz only, channel 6. tried two different routers only 10 feet away with no signal. It only gets a signal when router is placed 2 feet away, There is something wrong with the wifi antenna circuit on my main board I think…..

My phone hotspot shows up when placed directly next to the printer and shows only -85db signal…

@sovol3d How can I fix the wifi?

Hi. Our after-sales staff will reply to you by email. You can check the email box. The reply will be a little late

Hello @sovol3d,

If you have any advice on how to solve this issue, please share it.

That would be very kind of you.

Thank you.

The poster cannot connect to wifi because the antenna needs to be replaced

Does your SSID have special characters? Some devices will not connect it your SSID has them. I even had a Schlage lock that wouldn’t connect to any WiFi it there was any SSID broadcasting nearby with a special characters I had to pair it in my closet. I was able to show them that info and they fixed it eventually.

Hello, to update the thread.

The wifi issue was solved by replacing the main board. the original Wi-Fi antenna is good and is still working with the new board.

The printer is working well now

Is the video tutorial on belt adjustment for the SV08 Max finished?

They sent it to me in a support email. It’s located on Sovol’s google drive folder. Here you go:
