Hello,
I recently purchased an SV08 Max and I am experiencing an issue with very visible layer lines when printing with ABS filament. Could you please let me know if it’s possible to achieve a better surface finish?
I have read that this could be due to incorrect Z-axis calibration, flow rate calibration, or other factors, but I’m not sure how to proceed.
Thanks for your help.
Looks to be worse on the Y (red) axis than the X axis (green)
I’d focus on squaring the gantry and belt tension.
You may also want to explore slicer settings.
AND manage your expectations. Positional accuracy is a percentage of the total axis length. A big printer with long axes can’t be expected to print as perfectly as on with shorter axes.
Ok, do you know how to check and adjust the gantry alignment and the tension of the X and Y axis belts?
I did notice the beginning of warping, but what should I do? I ran other tests that completely lifted off right from the first layers. For this print, I cleaned the build plate as thoroughly as possible, applied glue, increased the bed temperature to 100°C, set the chamber temperature to 45°C, slowed the initial layer speed to 20 mm/s, and reduced the overall print speed as well…
Hi,
Nothing is more important than having a well-calibrated build plate and an effective, even first layer.
Next, using a suitable adhesive solution and the right build plate temperature will promote good build plate adhesion and prevent warping.
Finally, if the brim doesn’t work, try the raft.
The bed should have been at 100* at a minimum.
I don’t own a MAX, so someone else will have to help you with the gantry.
In addition to @Lion ’s advices, you can contact Sovol at info@sovol3d.com
You will have to wait until the New Year celebrations are over.
Ok, thank you. I’ll try all that.
I found the procedure for the gantry calibration and tensioning the belts in another thread on the forum.
I think I also forgot to perform all the calibration steps in OrcaSlicer…
