I ducked up my sock on my sv06 plus. Had a prin failure and while cleaning up i poked a hole in it and ripped the bottom tip off. But regular volcano sock seems to be different or will it fit just fine? ---

Yep, you’ve right, $33 for a piece of silicone, it’s expansive. ---

Hi, I had a bad print when it came loose from the bed, and my sock filled up with filament, it took me a few hours, side cutters and a hot gun, to get the sock off and all the filament off the hot end. I didn’t want a repeat issue, so I left the sock off altogether, I have done about two rolls worth of filament printing since then, and it doesn’t seem to have made the slightest bit of difference to the operation of the printer. My suggestion is leave it off. ---

Hi, Not sure if your problem comes from the sock. I had the same problem twice which, finally, was due to a hotend leak. Besides sovol is replacing me at the moment the complete extruder. ---

No, mine was definitely caused by the bad print causing a buildup of filament which blocked the hole in the silicon sock, after that the sock just filled up like a balloon, and when it was full it started oozing out around the top of the sock and glued it in place. I had to remove the whole head assembly, and everything else, until I just had the hot end. With the heat gun and a pair of side cutters and a surgical knife I carefully removed enough filament to get the sock off, and then I just kept working until I got back to the metal of the hot end, it was completely covered in filament. I put it back together, replaced the nozzle with a new one, and it’s worked perfectly since. ---

The first time I had that problem, I proceeded exactly like you and I also thought it was related to improper use of the printer on my part. I therefore also carried out a deep cleaning of the extruder by peeling off all the melted filament. But after a few weeks the problem came back. That’s why I got in touch with sovol to solve the problem. But, it’s possible your trouble was different. ---

Just for others yes the volcano socks are wrong for the hotend of the sv06+ but they have become available on the sovol site and probably amazon by now or in a while ---

Well, it doesn’t have to operate at the number you quoted, does it.
