I have ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE doing anything with klipper besides basic printing and this video walked me step by step. I'm so grateful. Thank you man
@@gerGoPrint3D Your video's are top notch. SOVOL needs to use you EXCLUSIVELY as the representative for the English market. Hands down. Let me know where I can email them to recommend you and I will do so immediately.
I have SV07 plus bought last week as my second printer. I couldn't set up right parameters for overhangs and seam in cura, but my first print sliced in Orca is perfect. Thanks for this guide Gergo!
This was dense for a newbie like me and right on time because I was exactly about to move to Orca. Thanks for another very useful video Gergo! And don't worry about the frequency, I see all your videos and would see more if available. You have currently the best English channel on Sovol 07 Plus.
Thank you for the feedback! I hope I didn't make the process seem more complex than it is. The initial switch to Orca with CV's additions can be made in 15-20 minutes tops you should be able to print your first test. Of course expect a few more hours fine tuning your filament settings for a perfect look. But this opens up all the Orca Slicer help videos and material, which are plenty.
@@gerGoPrint3D I think you did well, step by step, it's me that I'm new in the game and sometimes lost the track, had to rewind and see the instructions once again.
@@regis_assaoAlso look into the written guides Christian includes in both of his packages. He also provides much more background info on the settings. Also his macros are self documented. The macro buttons when clicked provide detailed description in the status window!
Thank you, I stumbled on you when I was waiting for my sv07+ to arrive last month and you made it a painless setup. Even though i was already using orca slicer you still managed to show me a few new things and the addition of the macros is going to be a game changer as soon as get a free weekend.
This is AMAZING!! I followed this step by step, and I'm up and printing. It was printing great before, and still just as good, but twice as fast. Instead of stressing how to fix my mistakes, I can enjoy this hobby. However... I am not familiar with how to use macros, so I'm clicking and making mistakes, but even learning through my mistakes is fun. Thank you for putting so much into one great video. God bless you brother, and HAPPY EASTER... He IS risen!!!
@gerGoPrint3D I had a custom pulpit made for my previous pastor. In the top, I had the alpha and omega symbols inlaid. I noticed your signature, and I love it. Subtle, but unmistakable.
I recieved my SOVOL SV-07 two days ago and I'm starting to configure it following your advices. Huga thanks to you for making such things for a newbies like me! You do the huge and important job. Subscribed right away.
I ordered the SV07+ then saw someone's video about how (in his opinion anyway) it is not a good beginner printer. How has your experience been? Just curious.
@@suzyamerica4679 would not say the sv07 regular, and probably in extension the + is beginner friendly. but if you like tech you wil figure it out. videos like these are very helpful. If you ar ehaving issues with prints getting struck and falling over. you might need to tighten the Spring screws on the upwards, Z axis. and i also had to loosen the z roller wheels a bit. was a bit too tight from factory.
@@joakimcarlsen71 So far everything is working out well enough .. there have been problems, but I have been methodical about it, so nothing has stayed a problem for very long. Only had one print fall over, and that was really my own fault for not having aligned the long axis of the model along the Y - a necessity with a fast bedslinger.
@@suzyamerica4679 good to hear. have read a lot of hate on this machine. Sure it doesn't keep calibrations for very long. but doing a z-tilt once every second print or so takes like 30 seconds. so it is not a big deal. I think its great.
@@joakimcarlsen71 Honestly, it has been pretty reliable as a beginner machine. Only just in the last week have I tried printing on much wider portions of the bed, and that's showing me to work on some other issues. All OK though. Sorry to hear about the hate :(
Another excellent tutorial video was extremely well structured and explained. I am making my way through the relevant videos for printers I entend have. Thank you again for your comment to help all of us in the printing community Gergo. Regards. Mike 🎉
I started with Cura and then moved to Prusa after that. I used Prusa slicer for a long time with my kobra, sv06 and sv06 plus and really liked it. But I then bought a K1 and creality slicer was awfull so i had no choice at the time to use Orca ss it had k1 profiles built in. And I have been using Orca since then. I do like it very much now. I still miss some things about Prusa but Orca is getting better with every update. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for your very helpfull videos. I've benn following your channel since i got my SV07+. i startet with Cura and now I moved to Orca. Thank you for your excellent videos
The fact that Orca talks directly to Mainsail, right in the app thanks to Christian Vick's upgrades, is what makes it beyond fantastic. I was carrying that little USB stick back and forth from the computer to the printer (it's in another room) and now, no more. Lots more screen space too on the Mainsail dashboard. Much detail about the printer.
Amazing, detailed information! I am slowly working my way through your videos and they are really helping me understand not only HOW but WHY these changes are important. Thank you!
Great video! I switched to the Orca slicer thanks to you! The only thing I didn't find in Orca was the ability to change the speed from a certain layer. I really liked the opportunity to use different settings for different elements of the model and even enable adaptive layers only for selected elements!
Just add a command like M220 S70 (sets speed to 70%) at the desired layer the same way as we add pause or filament change (see my M600 and magnetic chess set videos). Christian's "slow at height" macro is also worth a look, it can gradually slow over a set height so there won't be a sudden color (matteness) change in the print surface at abrupt speed changes. The "Slow at height" setting can even be enabled and adjusted during print, if you realize you want to slow down on the fly. For multi-model prints you can also control every possible filament or process settings just switch from "global" to "object" as shown in my magnetic chess set video.
Thank you! I am curious how it will go! This sounds like a lot, but can literally be done in the 15-20 minutes I show you.Then expect to spend more time on fine-tuning the presets to your filaments for the perfect results. Just like many other things the first 10% of the invested time will give you 90% of the result. And then spend 90% of your time working on that last 10% of the result. But for some applications we don't even need 100% perfection.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thank you for the additional feedback. I'll do the installation and tinkering sometime over the next few days. Your posting came during a rebuild and series of mods to my SV07, and I'll test things out and report back to you after the printer is stabilized again.
I'm about to switch from cura to orca with my sovol sv06+ Klipper since weeks but no success... I really tried everything (at least what I could think of) to get something printed via orca at least with mid speed but so chance. The layers don't stick, the outer walls look like a swiss cheese and it's a huge mess.... I tried also also print profiles from Reddit, different filament settings etc, but no success.... Like the extruder cannot push out enough filament at a time ?! I checked the gear (ok), nozzle temperature (ok), tried different pla , but no change... Any advice ?
Thanks for the video and the information. You got a subscriber today I ran into some errors loading the printer additions from Joe Scalon. The problem seemed to be from Joe's additions and nothing to do with the tutorial here. I left a comment with full details on the download page over at printables. This was for an SV06, so its not something that would have come up while you were making this tutorial.
Excellent content you present, I currently use your z-tilt method, very simple and useful. I use it with another laminator since with the Orca I have not been able to deactivate this automatic function. I would appreciate if you could tell us how to deactivate this G-code Start function. Greetings
If you are using Christian Vick's start code, you'll need to enable his "advanced" package to get an option to turn off "gantry levelling". I actually do exactly this for my SV06 Plus in the video. Check in the section starting 17:25
@@gerGoPrint3D Thanks for your answer, you already managed to understand how to activate and deactivate through macros. I prefer to use your Z-probe, the new version is the best. Waiting for new videos
thank you for the tip. Please watch my M600 and recent leveling vids I touch on macros a bit, but you are right I could talk a bit more about the basics in a future video (though I'll have to preface this that with a few decades in software development I am very new to Klipper macros)
@@zola5584 Yes they weren't intended to be any explanations now, but it's a good idea to gather a few basic consepts to help everybody starting. Macros are not hard and so very powerful, but you do need to know some basic troubleshooting tricks to avoid messing up your system...
Thanks !! wow. Very enlightening video. As I am starting in this universe of 3D printing and I do not have knowledge of Klipper, after having installed through the configuration file How to make everything disabled or just a few macros to prevail only the orca slicer configurations? Or who overlap who, after slicing and sending to print? After choices or inhibiting some functions I need, will always be necessary after these changes save and send by Mainsail? TIA
Most of the macros and features in KPA are disabled initially. You will need to click on the macro buttons twice to enable them. I also recommend watching this video: ruclips.net/video/Xl8jR6yaWc8/видео.html It is about a different printer, but in the second half of that video (from 11 minutes) the same Klipper Printer Additions is installed from Christian Vick, maybe having it explained from a slightly different angle gives you a deeper understanding.
Had my Sovol for a long time now and never got it just the way I wanted it. After going through all of your calibration videos that one is a nice finisher. My SV07 finally prints good and I love all the goodies from Christian Vick. One question, how fast do you go with your SV07?
Thank you for the feedback! Most of my prints don't require top notch quality, so I usually print at 200mm/s just like in this test. If I need higher quality I usually just reduce the speed to 70% during print (or reduce the speed only for the sections where the quality is needed - e.g. the top layers...)
Thanks a lot for your answer! Do you happen to know why I get "bed_mesh: Unknown profile [default]" after the adaptive bed mesh has been finished? I actually deleted the default mesh since I only wanted to use the adaptive one. Do I have to change in my printer config the bed config from "default" to "Adaptive" so the adaptive mesh is beeing used by my printer? I am afraid, that I am probing with the adaptive mesh and later it does not take it into account while printing.@@gerGoPrint3D
@@alexklaus2778 I am not getting that message, so i don't really know. My suggestion would be to contact Christian over on printables (or facebook), he always responds to these types of questions promptly :)
Okay, this is great! I do have one final problem though, which is that I can't lower the bed temperature anymore. turning it up works, but it stays at the given temp even without any active print and lowering it does not change anything. Can't find anything in the docs, nor in any comments. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Awesome video, very much appreciated as always! Ever since getting my Sv07+ I've run into issues with Z calibration of various types. After getting all of the additions added, I'm trying to do the "Mesh Create All Temperatures" and two times now it has failed. The first time was a probe out of range error when the extruder reached the far right side of the bed. The second time I changed the probe point distance from 37mm to 19mm and ran it with the bed at 60c instead of 20c and it managed to complete multiple rows back and forth until it reached the far back right of the plate, then it errored out with a "Move out of range" trying to go to 301.xxx-302 on one of the axis. I've tried changing the stepper_x and stepper_y position_max down to 300 from 302 thinking that it would solve my problem, but that hasn't fixed it either. It is still trying to move to 300+ when does the bed meshes. Any idea how to fix???
Please try first with the latest update (3.0b3 as of today), if still fails please send feedback to Christian on Printables. I created the multi-temp meshes on 3.0b1, and it ran to completion without issues using the default grid size.
That is the version I used. Tinkering with it more now, what is your horizontal_move_z, mesh_min and mesh_max under the [bed_mesh] section in printer.cfg? @@gerGoPrint3D
Changing my mesh_min to 17,15 and mesh_max to 278,280 fixed my problem. It appears the formula for the y-axis must be min+max+horizontal z move = 300. (15+280+5) I don't think that is the formula for the maximum on the x-axis though because I am not seeing any probe points past 278.00. No points further than 299.9 on the y-axis though, which is what was causing the error.@@gerGoPrint3D
So every aspect of this install has been completed as well as the timelapse video my question is how do rename the printer on the mainscreen from mkspi? Thank you in advance.
Hi! I already did, Klipperized SV06 Plus works almost identically to the SV07 / Plus, so I can recommend watching the following videos: * basic setup: ruclips.net/video/nNijzsWZBG4/видео.html * advanced setup: ruclips.net/video/58iNKpJVH5w/видео.html I have many more videos about Klipper and the Sovol machines.
@@gerGoPrint3D Many thanks for response. Already connected - actually it's so simple...Please advise how to organize macroses in Orca. Thanks in advance! Good job!!!
Brilliant tutorial mate. Any chance you could share your modified SV06 Plus (Klipper) OrcaSlicer configs? The ones that come with the downloads are not as tuned as what your SV06 Plus printer is. (Super slow prints with the Benchy).
If you've Klipperized your SV06+, don't use Orca Slicer's built-in profiles! They are for the Marlin firmware. I recommend following the step-by-step procedure I show you in this video on how to install Christian Vick's Klipper Printer Additions on the Klipper Screen and import his Orca presets. Please note: these Klipperized SV06+ presets are actually based on the SV07 presets, since the Klipperized SV06+ gains the capabilities of the SV07/+ except for the part cooling, which is a recommended and relatively easy upgrade via a 5015 blower.
@@gerGoPrint3D , Thank you. Have seen marked improvement using Christian Vick's configs. Only problem I have noticed is no part cooling works. Tested printing the the V2 pointers, there is no part cooling happening. Not sure if it is a bug within Orca/Klipper.
@@TheCog1983 I am using an older version of his presets, it is possible there is a bug in the newer versions. I recommend contacting him directly on his Printables pages or tagging him in the Sovol printer groups on Facebook.
What can I say - I've had loads of grief with Cura and my SV06 (with official Klipper screen) and this video is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Many thanks. Now for a noob question (because I am still one).... For my first test I used "CV 1.55 SV06 Klipper" as Printer and "0.20mm Standard @Sovol SV06" as Process. The "chopped" Benchy took 1hr 20 mins but the quality was amazing. Have I understood it right that its okay to use one of CV's SV07 processes with the SV06? - the only SV06 one in the list is for TPU. I'm using the Sovol Generic PLA setting, having checked that the flow speed is 15mms/sec. Now subscribed 😁
Thank you for your kind support!!! And no, no, you should not use Orca's own SV06 presets, they are for the Marlin version. Download Christian's presets and use the one he made for the regular size SV07. The Klipperized SV06 has the same motion cababilities as the SV07, only its nozzle is not high flow, so just halve the volumetric speeds of his filament presets. At least that's how I understand, but we are all learning here!
Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos! They've been a massive help after getting my SV06 Plus. Just purchased your new Z-markers yesterday! I coincidentally found Christian Vick's OrcaSlicer profiles after trying to find an alternative of Ellis' SuperSlicer/PrusaSlicer profiles for OrcaSlicer. Was pleasantly surprised to be led back to you again when looking up more information on it. My only question for you is would you mind sharing what you changed in Christian's Process' to adapt them to the 0.6mm nozzle on the SV06 Plus? I essentially just took the line width values it had for the 0.4mm nozzle and scaled it directly for a 0.6mm nozzle but I'd love to see if you did any specific tuning for that or anything else you like to change. Thanks again for the videos!
For some reason whenever I press the adaptive mesh button in an attempt to turn it off it just keeps sayings its on. It wont cycle to the off position. How do I fix this?
@@gerGoPrint3D I did this. Every time I click on it even if it's within the 5 seconds you mentioned. It just keeps going to the on position and no other position no matter how many times in a row
Hi. I just got a SV07+ a few days ago. I really appreciate the time you put into this tutorial and sharing orca with us. It made things very easy. I have one question though. When I turn on "Fan" through the dashboard the part fan connected to the extruder turns on and when I turn on "Extruder Partfan" the auxilary fan turns on. Is this normal? It seems backwards to me. Aux fan is currently set to off in variables and it stays off while printing. I'm pretty sure the extruder parts fan is working as it should. I'm just worried because they seem to be mislabeled somehow and I'm not sure if they're acting as they should. Thanks again.
Thank you again for this most excellent video. Even I can follow it early in the morning 🤗 OK a stupid question: I see the XY print head accelerations are set to 12 meters per second squared. Is that safe for the machine? It's really going to put some substantial force on it when it's printing. Some people put slabs of stone or concrete under their printers - lots of mass.
Yes, that's a bit daring from Christian, but personally I havent seen any layer shifts on my printers. You can take it back a bit if you are more cautious.
It should be enabled by default. I am not even sure if there is an option for it to be disabled... Maybe you can try to ask Christian on Printables? (He is not on YT)
Good day! Please advise how to disable GANTRY CALIBRATION after installation of ADDITIONS on my SOVOL 6+ as I missed to do it during installation and now prior EACH printing portal coming up and then going down, which is unnecessary. Thanks in advance!
At 21:12 I show you how to turn off the button "Preprint Gantry calibrate", which was made available at 17:25 by uncommenting the "Advance Tools" for the SV06
@@gerGoPrint3D your awesomeness has no bounds Thank you as always. I"m going to head over to cults 3d and buy something just to support you .Thank you again and again.
Coming from a Bassamanator setup I am trying to install this also. I am a little worried that it will call the bassamanator START_PRINT macro instead of its own....I have KAMP enabled for that set up what do I do? Do have to disable anything?
Sorry, but I have no experience with that :( Maybe you can ask Christian on printables (or Bassmantor on reddit). Both are accessible, they tend to respond to questions like this.
You'll need to enable "Advanced Tools" in ___module_loader.cfg and then you'll have a "PREPRINT GANTRY CALIBRATE MODI", you'll have to press it twice to turn it off. I guess if you use adaptive mesh it is OK to turn off gantry calibrate, but even then it is better (unless you physically coupled your z-motors)
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it definitely helped improve the quality of my prints. I do have a quick question if you have a moment. I noticed that whenever I start a new print, the printer will do the Z-Tilt probing before the print. Is this normal? And if not, any idea on how to get around it? I'm assuming it's something in the printer.cfg file, but not sure what and don't want to mess it up after getting it dialed in hah. It doesn't really affect anything, but just curious. Thanks!
Yes, it's normal. And I actually talk about this. On the SV06/Plus it is better to turn this off, since the automatic method is slow, loud and not accurate. But on the SV07/Plus it is desirable to sync the z-motors before the print, as they drift from each other as soon as the motors are unlocked. For the SV06/Plus I recommend watching my recent video on an alternative z-tilt method using a practical little Klipper macro I created.
I thought about it. Maybe when I finally work out how to install timelapse option. But I am no expert. For monitoring I just plugged in the $5 webcam I bought on Aliexpress and added it in Mainsail settings (cog icon in upper right) → webcam. There were no other settings required, just rebooted the printer an voi'la. I have the cams plugged into the second usb A port at the bottom of the Sovol Klipper screen of both printers.
Yes, SV06 with Sovol's own Klipper screen should work with these exact settings. Orca Slicer does work with the standard non-Klipperized SV06 also, but you will have to adjust Christian's presets slightly to add start g-code that marlin needs. You might be better off using the stock Orca SV06 presets then. If you have non-Sovol Klipper, this will also work, but you might need to talk to Christian (message him on Printables) since there could be a few differences.
No, the two are independent. Christian Klipper additions are simple macros. The preheat buttons modify the Klipper screen panel scripts. You can actually disable CV's additions simply by commenting out the [include] line in printer.cfg
Yes, Christian is constantly updating these. Always get the latest. Make sure to read his documentation, he includes change logs and detailed setup instructions.
Does anyone have an issue where the model in the slicer plate and position on the bed are not the same at all? I have a model centered but it's almost printing off the edge of the plate when printing.
Are you using the right profiles? Sounds like you are using settings for a regular size SV06 or SV07 instead of the plus version SV07+ or SV06+. Check the build volume settings for the printer in the slicer.
Not sure what happened but everything fell into place. However I suspect it was related to the clearance to the wall in the back. The plate electrical connector was hitting the wall and I suspect that the printer was deteting and compensating for the reduced travel in it's pre-print checks.
I think it's called Samurai Move, the name of the macro is "Preprint Samurai Move". Make sure to tap the macro button twice within 5 seconds to activate it (it should say "ON" in the log window). Please note, the Samurai Move is not compatible with the adaptive mesh afaik.
@@gerGoPrint3DMany thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it says: "The Samurai Move is not possible in adaptive mesh mode." Since I like the adaptive mesh mode, I guess I cannot use the Samurai Move with the adaptive mode. Don't get why it's not possible to use both. :)
keep getting this message on my sv06plus The Samurai-move is not possible on your printer, as the nozzle cannot drive beside the bed. PrePrint_SamuraiMove_Modi please advise
Same here. We have to choose between adaptive meshing or the "samurai move." Since the SV06/Plus cannot level the gantry automatically, I went with adaptive mesh for it. My other two printers with Christian Vick's KPA can use pre-stored meshes: A) The SV07 Plus can use its inductive probe and independent Z drivers to level all on its own. B) The T300 doesn't have independent Z drivers, but I coupled the two, so they never come out of sync. I am planning to couple the Z motors of the SV06 Plus as well (I already have the components, I just need the time to do it), so it will not need gantry leveling either, and I can disable adaptive meshing there too. If you have pre-stored meshes and your gantry is not perfectly level, it will mess up your first layer. Adaptive mesh can be a last-minute fix for an imperfect gantry level.
hi under Orca at the end of the print I have the head which remains on the print, the plate does not advance and the head does not return to the zero point. Is there a special ending g-code required?
CV's end macro (_End_Print) should take care of it. If you are not using CV's additions, then just put END_PRINT, that will also turn off heating, and move toolhead to the back of the print bed.
I have a problem. When I use MESH CREAT ALL TEMPERATURES macro my printer checks only few points on center line of bed and then klipper pops off with few of tries and does this report: 10:09 Retries aborting: Probed points range is increasing. 10:09 Retries aborting: Probed points range is increasing. I dont know what to change to make it work. I have SV07PLUS. Any Idea?
:( I only have Sovol's official Klipper Screen. There I have to attach the included accelerometer to either the extruder or the bed, and plug it into the ADXL port on the device. I don't have access to a BTT Pad, I don't really know how it goes there.
@@gerGoPrint3D All good, I figured it out by doing it in the traditional Klipper way. After that the macro worked, I quess I had no mention of input shaping in my printer.cfg so the macro assumed my printer wasn't capable of input shaping.
hey @gerGo, are you getting the move out of range with CV KA?? i dont understand how to solve it and wont let me do full meshes, just adaptive, im using the latest release :/
I don't, but I am also not using the latest version. Try changing the resolution (Christian has a setting for it). Try contacting Christian on printables or in the Sovol Facebook groups. He usually responds to questions farily quickly.
after following these steps. i get this error. Shutdown due to Klipper Printer Additions: Your printer configuration has not defined where to save variables. Nothing can work correctly without. If you have an SV07 with old firmware: Update the firmware (preferable), or copy this into your printer.cfg file: [save_variables] filename: ~/printer_data/config/saved_variables.cfg Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the config, and restart the host software.

I found this video via reddit post in the sovol group. Can you advise me if the sv07 would be a good next printer for someone like me. I have 2x sv01s that I print PETG exclusively and have run for thousands of hours the past 3 years. They run .6 nozzles at .35 layer height and 40mm MAX on speed. That is 8.4mm volumetric flow. All I want to do it print faster. My print projects are getting bigger and more extensive and I am having MAJOR analysis paralysis. Bambu / creality klipper machine / prusa / klipperized sv06 or sv07, or just put a beefier hotend on my machines. Thank you in advance. Great content .
The problem with PETG, that max volumetric flow is limiting its printing speed, so you are not going to be able to gain that much speed with Klipper (maybe go up to 10-12 mm3/s), but some quality and convenience because of the remote connection and features of Klipper such as exclude object etc. PETG doesn't profit that much from the super strength cooling of the SV07 as PLA would. Still, the SV07 and SV07 Plus are great machines, and I print a lot of PETG with my SV07+, though I have the 0.6mm on my SV06+ machine.
I had to disable the probe setting in the printer sovol sv07 features christian_vick.cfg. #[probe] #samples_tolerance: 0.01 #samples_tolerance_retries: 2 #samples_result: average #samples: 2 #speed: 15 This part is already in the printer.cfg and I received an error message. With these new settings, it is now wise to disable the probe setting in christian vick.cfg or in the print.cfg. I also see several things in the Christian Vick.cfg that are now also in the print.cfg. [bed_mesh] speed: 230 bicubic_tension: 0.2 fade_start: 1.0 fade_end: 10 mesh_pps:2,2 move_check_distance: 5 split_delta_z: .025 algorithm: bicubic [z_tilt] retries: 50 speed: 230 retry_tolerance: 0.0025 [safe_z_home] speed: 230 z_hop: 5 z_hop_speed: 20 these are now double. both in vick.cfg and in printer.cfg. that doesn't contradict each other
I think he tells us to put the include line at the end of printer.cfg so his settings override matching ones earlier. Having double probe settings did not cause issues for me, but I'll let Christian to chime in here.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thank you. You're doing really great. I have taken over all the includs. But still my sovol doesn't like that the probe setting is in printer.cfg and christian_vick.cfg.
I installed the klipper screen from Sovol on my SV06+ and tried to setup Orcaslicer according to that video. In download folder I can only find process/speed settings for the Sovol SV07+; will they work as well for the 06+?
Yes, they are all based on his original SV07 presets, they have similar capabilities. The motion ability limits are controlled in the machine presets, they are different, but the filament / process presets can be the same. Only the standard SV06 needs filament presets dialed back (e.g. max volumetric flow) since it doesn't have the high flow nozzle of the newer models.
@@gerGoPrint3D I tried it but without any remarkable success. The model looks like a cheese with almost no continuous lines , like the flow would be only 50% ? It's on 95% according to the settings , very strange.
Hi gerGo, thanks a lot for your tutorial. I made everything like you described. Marcos are working at my SV06 Plus Klipper. But while printing a Benchy the layers at the corners are much higher than the straight layers. That causes after a few layers spaghetti... What I'm doing wrong? Can you advise maybe? Thanks in Advance. Chris
Sounds like you'd need to tune flow rate or pressure advance for your filament. I am going to do a video on the calibration tools built into Orca Slicer, but you can also research it for yourself. It could also just be curling at the edges? You can calibrate that with a temperature tower.It's a bit hard to tell from a distance just by description. Have you done any part coolig upgrades? The stock SV06/Plus doesn't have sufficient cooling for Klipper speeds, which Christian Vick's presets assume. I recommend at least a 5015 blower upgrade, until then I'd print at 30-40% of CV's speeds.
@@gerGoPrint3D Hi, thanks for your answer. I tried to change the values pa and flow rate. But it didn't get better. If I use Cura everything's fine. Only with Orca I have the problem. Trying the calibration tool I get a temp. failure in G-Code and the printer doesn't go on after grid calibration. Made some pictures from the benchy, maybe I can show them to you?
@@ChristianMayer-cv1qc I was running into the same thing. Interestingly I found that if i print at 200mm/s @ 50% Printer Speed the prints come out well. However trying the 100mm/s @ 100% still results in the corners raising up. I'm thinking it may have to do with the cooling not being sufficient but I'm not clear what the difference in the settings is. I'm going to keep playing with settings because even at 200mm/s @ 50% I'm getting a gap in the back of the boat.
@@JustinFritts Hi, yes I was thinking of an cooling issue, too. I tested a print with 100% cooling power. And I have a modified cooling fan with a lot more power than the original SV06 plus fan -> same results, edges came up. In my opinion it's overextrution in the printer's turning points. But I don't know on which parameters to turn to reduce the extrution in the edges when the printer is deccelerating and accelerating. Can anybody help?
Question: A link sent me to Christian Vick's v1.5 Orca presets, but by searching printables I found his printer additions 3.0b4.1. Is it necessary to do both of them, or will the newer import totally supercede the older one? Thank you.
The two are separate. You install the Orca presets on your computer, and the Printer Additions on your printer. You can actually install them independently from each other, though I think they work best in combination.
@@gerGoPrint3D Perfect and thank you. Used kiauh last night to get Mainsail and its related things installed. Looking at the mainsail UI this morning. Oh my.
when i try to edit the printer.cfg file, the area where im supposed to put [include printer_additions/___module_loader.cfg] is all blue text and it doesnt let me edit any of the text
@@noahcasino sounds like some mistake in the printer.cfg file. Check your backups if all of them have it this way (enagle showing backup files under the cog menu and find all timestamped printer.cfg variants of the past.
gergo. i keep having issues for the klipper saying "lost connection to mcu". i just installed the fan and case to the klipper screen im not sure what the issue is because i know the usb cord works fine
Make sure to lead the USB cable as far away form the power cord and the PSU as possible. In my Sovol Screen install video I show you how I even added ferrite rings too since my SV07 Plus also had them → ruclips.net/video/xoGxAHcYCVc/видео.html
Happy weekend :) Just wondering, for the Sovol SV07+, what is the biggest nozzle you would use for fast prototyping? Sovol sent the variety pack of upgraded nozzles, yay, so it makes me wonder what size is best for prototypes that will have 2mm walls. Thank you! Looking at the presets in Orca. Under Printer settings -> Extruder there is a nozzle diameter field. Do any of the other things on that page (min/max layer heights, Z hop when retracting, etc) need to be changed for larger nozzle?
Nice! Since the SV07 is already plenty fast the bigger nozzles don't really increase speed as the bottle neck becomes the part cooling. But at the same speed we can get better strength with the bigger nozzles. How much bigger depends on the print. I found 0.6mm almost as detailed as the 0.4mm, while the 0.8, 1.0 nozzles could be useful for extra-large functional pieces. I also recommend the larger nozzles for PETG and flexibles.
@@gerGoPrint3D I am not against getting a second SV07+ to set up for large functional pieces if that becomes a thing. Being able to design & print such is what brought me to these things :)

Can someone PLEASE do a video about m how to hook up our Klipper screens to a laptop!!!! I use a Mac abut that’s not the point I wish someone would assume that not everyone is great on computers and do a slow intensive video on how to even get to this point in your videos.

GUYS I nees some help. after doing everything exactly till 19:32 (saving and restarting Printer.cfg) I'm getting an issue. Klipper is shutting down and getting this message:Shutdown due to Klipper Printer Additions: Your printer configuration has not defined where to save variables. Nothing can work correctly without. If you have an SV07 with old firmware: Update the firmware (preferable), or copy this into your printer.cfg file: [save_variables] filename: ~/printer_data/config/saved_variables.cfg If you have another printer you probably need to adapt the path. It should be the same directory where your 'printer.cfg' file is located. Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the config, and restart the host software. Printer is shutdown Cans someone help please
I guess I solved it. made a copy of printer.cfg. renamed it ti saved_variables.cfg and emptied the file. edit [save_variables] filename: ~/printer_data/config/saved_variables.cfg to printer cfg and getting same console info after the restart of klipper
Have you added the mentioned [save_variables] section to the top of your printer.cfg? Alternatively you can make a backup of your printer (see my video about EMMC backups - I hope you already did!) and then update Klipper in your SV07 to the latest available from Sovol (see my video on updating the SV07/Plus Official firmware update). Be sure to make a complete backup!!!
You can post photos and questions in the Sovol Facebook group and be sure to tag me, but let others to comment also, because there are much more knowledgeable group members there than I am. I will be happy to take a look and help!
I'm working through adding v3.0b4 to my SV07 Plus. How did you know which Macros to put into which groups? I haven't had time to read what they all do yet.
Christian named the macros in a way so you can just regard the first part of each macro's name as the name of the group it belongs to. Also, all his macro descriptions start with the word KPA for easy distinction.
I cannot get pass this on my sv06plus. "Klipper reports: ERROR File contains no section headers. file: '/home/sonic/printer_data/config/printer_additions/printer_sovol_sv06_features_christian_vick.cfg', line: 12 ': • Replaces the stock PAUSE, RESUME, CANCEL_PRINT macros with enhanced macros. "
Is there anywhere you can get help with this (forum, reddit etc?), I installed it and it appears installed properly and working in the firmware but my print quality is really bad now, not sure how to fix it or what is wrong.
@@gerGoPrint3D I followed through the video and all functions in the firmware appear to be working, I set the same settings as you too (for SV07). Parts of the print are good but anything with even the smallest amount of overhang (well not even overhang but with an angle) print very badly.
Christian ! What is the process to get your sv07 files into orca ? I know PS pretty well, have OS installed, its meh. looks like PS with a cura skin, which is awful looking. So, is there an import button somewhere? or do I need to drop those *json files into a certain windows folder? Thanks in advance
There are if you use Christian Vick's presets (or do some research on your own, there are a few necessary lines to be added to your start g-code). But if you follow my guide to install CV's presets you will have thumbnails both in the Mainsail insterface and on the Klipper Screen itself. 3rd alternative: install Orca Slicer 2.0beta, it has the thumbnails fixed too, I think.
@@JRChristensonNo problem :) I talk about a ton in this video ;) BTW the lines you need to include in the start g-code is this: ;### hack-fix to generate preview-images in Moonraker / fluidd / printer's display: Write fake slicer info here so that preprocess_cancellation can process. ### ; generated by SuperSlicer 1.5.0 on 2023-04-21 at 13:13:47 Basically there is a bug in Makerbase Klipper screen that only works with this ancient slicer, so we need to trick it to think we are using it. CV's presets already contain these lines, and I've seen mentioned in Orca V2beta change log that they will now automatically add this line for you. I think Cura already does, that's why thumbnails work from Cura.
Hello. I've installed Klipper Printer Additions and Orca Presets for my SV07 Plus. Just two questions. When I select diferent process presets the layers high only changes at 250mm DRAFT (0.32 & 0.32) and the rest of presets highs are the same (0.2 & 0.28), is this ok? Otherwise, now when I print before printing my file, a circle is printed. Why this? Is it necessary or is it possible to disable? Thanks for your work.
Hi! I'll also ask Christian to respond to these questions. Imho we are free to adjust the layer heights of any of the presets to adjust quality, the presets differ mainly in printing speed settings.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thank you very much. With the new presets, what are the previous movements at 140ºC that the printer does before pinting? Any kind of auto calibration maybe? Sorry and thanks for my questions, I'm very newbie with this.
Talk to Christian I think it's in his longer term plan to make his Klipper Additions more universal. I think you can most easily reach him in his Printables page linked from the description of this video.
i have the sv07+ , trying to import filament profil but nothing imported , ----------There are 0 configs imported. (Only non-system and compatible configs) Hint: Make sure you have added the corresponding printer before importing the configs.
Did you select the regular SV07 in the original wizard then imported the "CV SV07+" from Christians presets? These two steps are needed before the filaments will be imported correctly. Also make sure to use Orca 1.8 or higher (1.9 is the newest) and Christian's presets version 1.5 or higher.
hey whatsupp i have one error : Unknown pin chip name 'multi_pin' Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted ???
@@gerGoPrint3D is Good that found but my first print with New settings is big fail , with profil orcaslicer draft, with your draft profil in cura that found perfectly with very Good quality
Well, I would use SV07 Plus presets instead. These two printers have similar motion limits, so yes the speeds could be carried over. Stock cooling is very different, but those are controled in the filament presets.
Did you copy the files on the Klipper Screen already? Is the name of the directory "printer_additions"? You have to be precise, all lowercase and an underscore character between the two words. Also, make sure you have 3 underline characters in the beginning of the ___module_loader. In your comment above you only typed 2... Be precise!

i cannot for the life of me get a good benchy print on orca slicer. i have the sv06+ and have tried the default profiles i downloaded. and with a modified one i tried to copy the cura profile from i am using the normal pla preset with temperature set to 200 and 60. issue is that i get flawless prints using cura with minimal changes to the profile but i cant get any good prints using orca. the first layer will almost always drag some peices away and after the bow of the benchy will warp inward and outward with orca. ive tried a almost 1:1 copy of the cura profile and it still has issues. im not sure what to do because i like the orca slicer.
I keep getting an "error below min extruder temp" as soon as hit start print using Orca. There's a conflict somewhere, but I have not been able to solve it. Cura works fine.
Yes, I saw that message once. It was independent from CV's additions though. Just moving the part to a different area of the bed and reslicing solved it then, and i never saw this strange behavior after that. It would be important though to narrow it down to what is causing this. Unfortunately at the time this came up for me I was in a rush and did not want to experiment, I was just happy the re-slice fixed it
Üdv! Tudnál egy kicsit segíteni? SV06+ al kapcsolatban mindent feltettem ahogy elmondtad. Beállítottam a Z offsetet, first layer teszt is megfelelően beállítva. Orca slicer beállítva az innen letöltött profilokkal. 1.5 PLA META kiválasztva és CV 1.5 200mms szintén default. Viszont az első benchy próbánál kb a 3.-4. layertől elkezd hátrafelé eltolódni a nyomtatás (layer shift), és ilyen nagyobb ütések hallatszanak. Hol lehet a probléma? (olyan mintha az infill nyomtatása közben a fúvóka beleakadna a nyomatba) Köszönöm.
Hello. Próbáltál másik filamentet? Van ami túlságosan kunkorodik. Próbáld lejjebb venni az infill sebességét és kísérletezhetsz másik infill-el. Az is lehet, hogy kéne egy picit feszíteni a tárgyasztal szíjjon. Túl se jó feszíteni, mert terheli a motort, de próbáld negyed fordulatonként. De az első az, hogy a kunkorodást (curling) csökkentsd.
Egyenlőre eddig az alzás Creality Ender-PLA val próbáltam. Itthon nincs jelenleg más. Nem lehet hogy a sebességgel van a gond? Feszítettem a szíjon és levettem 60%-ra a sebességet de így is eltolja hátrafelé (igaz nem olyan durván mint 100% sebességen, ott szinte minden egyes layert eggyel hátrébb tolja) Mikor ez az eltolódás bekövetkezik akkor egy csúnya koppanás is hallatszik.@@gerGoPrint3D
@@gps4everyone Lehet, hogy eltört vagy lelazult a motoron levő görgő ami a szíjat moztgatja. Nézd meg hogy a szíj lelazítása után tudod-e a motortól függetlenül forgatni. Próbálhatok még néhány dolgot mondani, de úgy hangzik ez már garis dolog lesz idővel... Facebook-on tudod legjobban elérni a Sovol3D-seket.
Próbáltam még húzni a szíjon, már most ritkábban tolja el a réteget. Úgyhogy úgy néz ki hogy ott lehet a baj. Csak nekem már ez előtt is feszesnek tűnt. Ezek szerint akkor még húzzak rajta? Mi a megfelelő feszesség? Mondjuk ha már a alsó felső szíjat össze nyomva nem érnek egymáshoz? Nem szeretnék kárt tenni benne. :)@@gerGoPrint3D Azt kipróbáltam hogy lelazítottam és úgy nem forgott, vagyis forgott de szerintem a motorral együtt tudtam forgatni. Elöl ki is vettem azt a forgó tengelyt, nem látszik rajta semmi. edit2: Tettem egy próbát a 150mms profillal, sajnos az is csinált egy eltolást a nyomtatásban kb a felénél. :( Egyszerűen nem értem hogy mi lehet a baja. Ezekkel a profilokkal simán működnie kellene max sebességen? edit3: A CV 1.5 100mms profillal hiba nélkül tökéletes nyomat jött ki, viszont 1óra 20 percig nyomtatta. :( Lehet hogy ezt az Y motort kellene cserélni, mert ott lehet a hiba?! Nagyobb rántásnál csúszik el a layer és akkor van ez a koppanás szerű hang is.
@@gps4everyone Nekem Sv07-en ugyan ez volt a probléma az Y tengelyen. Bármit próbáltam mindig elcsúszott - vagy hátra, vagy előre-. A support sem volt valami nagy segítség, mondták hogy cseréljem meg az X-Y motorokat, de ugyanúgy elcsúszott. Lényeg a lényeg, a klipper konfigban elkezdtem kis lépcsőkben növelni az [tmc2209 stepper_y] menü alatt a "run_current" nevű beállítást. Nekem a kezdőérték 1.2 volt, ha jól emlékszem, és most 1.36-nál teljesen eltűnt a probléma. Félve attól, hogy nehogy túlmelegedjen a motor, egy hosszabb nyomtatás során méregettem a hőmérsékletét, de aligha volt melegbb, mint a régi beállításokkal. Remélem segít neked is!
two questions for me I juste arrived on ORCA and I have some "issues" I associated my printer klipper interface to orca, with the API and the URL but I can't start a print through orca, I need to export my gcode and find it on my desktop how do I send my gcode from orca to klipper and print ? and second one, in your presentation you show that from the web interface of klipper, you have a view from you plate with the different parts, I have only text, so I can't know which part is the part I want to exclude, is there a manipulation or a trick ?
1) press the little arrow next to the "Export G-code" button and select "Print". then you will have 2 options: "Upload" and "Upload & print" (yes, I probably should have shown pressing the "Print" button in the upper right corner, but you can see the "Print" button light up in my video at 24:30 after slicing) 2) are you using one of CV's process profiles? Those have the "Exclude objects" option on the "Others" page already checked. If not, just check it.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thanks for the answer, I am asking that because when I press Print from ORCA nothing happens… I am running a FLSUN SR, I made my own profiles since I am using prusaslicer since it got launched for the printer.
@@bouberboss So if I understand you correctly you are trying to use CV Klipper Printer Additions without CV's presets. It should be possible, but I don't really have any experience with that. I would refer you to Christian. You can best reach him on Printables.
This is one of my favorite printers, it has been working great ever since I unboxed it about a year ago. There are no bad printers, just inexperienced users 😜 Even of something comes broken out of the box with a bit of patience and adventurous spirit you can make it work. Look at my T300!

Why would one use Cura of all things? It’s friggin terrible! Prusaslicer has Sovol profiles, and it’s so much easier to use. Not to mention the prints come out better.
Each have their advantanges and disadvantages. For some familiarity is an advantage. Please not comment on each other's preferences. We can offer alternatives and options, but let everybody choose what they like. That's what I actually did in this video :)

@@joakimcarlsen71 So far everything is working out well enough .. there have been problems, but I have been methodical about it, so nothing has stayed a problem for very long.

I started with Cura and then moved to Prusa after that. I used Prusa slicer for a long time with my kobra, sv06 and sv06 plus and really liked it. But I then bought a K1 and creality slicer was awfull so i had no choice at the time to use Orca ss it had k1 profiles built in. And I have been using Orca since then. I do like it very much now. I still miss some things about Prusa but Orca is getting better with every update. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for your very helpfull videos. I've benn following your channel since i got my SV07+. i startet with Cura and now I moved to Orca. Thank you for your excellent videos
The fact that Orca talks directly to Mainsail, right in the app thanks to Christian Vick's upgrades, is what makes it beyond fantastic. I was carrying that little USB stick back and forth from the computer to the printer (it's in another room) and now, no more. Lots more screen space too on the Mainsail dashboard. Much detail about the printer.
Amazing, detailed information! I am slowly working my way through your videos and they are really helping me understand not only HOW but WHY these changes are important. Thank you!
Great video! I switched to the Orca slicer thanks to you!
The only thing I didn't find in Orca was the ability to change the speed from a certain layer. I really liked the opportunity to use different settings for different elements of the model and even enable adaptive layers only for selected elements!
Just add a command like M220 S70 (sets speed to 70%) at the desired layer the same way as we add pause or filament change (see my M600 and magnetic chess set videos). Christian's "slow at height" macro is also worth a look, it can gradually slow over a set height so there won't be a sudden color (matteness) change in the print surface at abrupt speed changes. The "Slow at height" setting can even be enabled and adjusted during print, if you realize you want to slow down on the fly. For multi-model prints you can also control every possible filament or process settings just switch from "global" to "object" as shown in my magnetic chess set video.
Wow! This is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to try it out on my SV07! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! I am curious how it will go! This sounds like a lot, but can literally be done in the 15-20 minutes I show you.Then expect to spend more time on fine-tuning the presets to your filaments for the perfect results. Just like many other things the first 10% of the invested time will give you 90% of the result. And then spend 90% of your time working on that last 10% of the result. But for some applications we don't even need 100% perfection.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thank you for the additional feedback. I'll do the installation and tinkering sometime over the next few days. Your posting came during a rebuild and series of mods to my SV07, and I'll test things out and report back to you after the printer is stabilized again.

I ran into some errors loading the printer additions from Joe Scalon. The problem seemed to be from Joe's additions and nothing to do with the tutorial here. I left a comment with full details on the download page over at printables.
This was for an SV06, so its not something that would have come up while you were making this tutorial.
I'm happy to hear you figured it out! Yes, I only use Joe's print bed graphics for the bigger machines, and currently refined CV's presets
I printed and used the fan shroud you designed, sadly it came too late. I switched to a btt pad 7, not looking back 😎

Thank you, been searching for such a good howto 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks !! wow. Very enlightening video. As I am starting in this universe of 3D printing and I do not have knowledge of Klipper, after having installed through the configuration file
How to make everything disabled or just a few macros to prevail only the orca slicer configurations? Or who overlap who, after slicing and sending to print? After choices or inhibiting some functions I need, will always be necessary after these changes save and send by Mainsail? TIA
Most of the macros and features in KPA are disabled initially. You will need to click on the macro buttons twice to enable them. I also recommend watching this video: ruclips.net/video/Xl8jR6yaWc8/видео.html It is about a different printer, but in the second half of that video (from 11 minutes) the same Klipper Printer Additions is installed from Christian Vick, maybe having it explained from a slightly different angle gives you a deeper understanding.
Had my Sovol for a long time now and never got it just the way I wanted it. After going through all of your calibration videos that one is a nice finisher. My SV07 finally prints good and I love all the goodies from Christian Vick. One question, how fast do you go with your SV07?
Thank you for the feedback! Most of my prints don't require top notch quality, so I usually print at 200mm/s just like in this test. If I need higher quality I usually just reduce the speed to 70% during print (or reduce the speed only for the sections where the quality is needed - e.g. the top layers...)
Thanks a lot for your answer! Do you happen to know why I get "bed_mesh: Unknown profile [default]" after the adaptive bed mesh has been finished? I actually deleted the default mesh since I only wanted to use the adaptive one. Do I have to change in my printer config the bed config from "default" to "Adaptive" so the adaptive mesh is beeing used by my printer? I am afraid, that I am probing with the adaptive mesh and later it does not take it into account while printing.@@gerGoPrint3D
@@alexklaus2778 I am not getting that message, so i don't really know. My suggestion would be to contact Christian over on printables (or facebook), he always responds to these types of questions promptly :)
This is excellent, thank you!
Okay, this is great!
I do have one final problem though, which is that I can't lower the bed temperature anymore. turning it up works, but it stays at the given temp even without any active print and lowering it does not change anything. Can't find anything in the docs, nor in any comments. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
sometimes settings don't have an immediate effect when we change them during printing. This is especially true during preprint preparations.
Awesome video, very much appreciated as always!
Ever since getting my Sv07+ I've run into issues with Z calibration of various types. After getting all of the additions added, I'm trying to do the "Mesh Create All Temperatures" and two times now it has failed. The first time was a probe out of range error when the extruder reached the far right side of the bed. The second time I changed the probe point distance from 37mm to 19mm and ran it with the bed at 60c instead of 20c and it managed to complete multiple rows back and forth until it reached the far back right of the plate, then it errored out with a "Move out of range" trying to go to 301.xxx-302 on one of the axis.
I've tried changing the stepper_x and stepper_y position_max down to 300 from 302 thinking that it would solve my problem, but that hasn't fixed it either. It is still trying to move to 300+ when does the bed meshes. Any idea how to fix???
Please try first with the latest update (3.0b3 as of today), if still fails please send feedback to Christian on Printables. I created the multi-temp meshes on 3.0b1, and it ran to completion without issues using the default grid size.
That is the version I used. Tinkering with it more now, what is your horizontal_move_z, mesh_min and mesh_max under the [bed_mesh] section in printer.cfg? @@gerGoPrint3D
Changing my mesh_min to 17,15 and mesh_max to 278,280 fixed my problem. It appears the formula for the y-axis must be min+max+horizontal z move = 300. (15+280+5) I don't think that is the formula for the maximum on the x-axis though because I am not seeing any probe points past 278.00. No points further than 299.9 on the y-axis though, which is what was causing the error.@@gerGoPrint3D

Brilliant tutorial mate. Any chance you could share your modified SV06 Plus (Klipper) OrcaSlicer configs? The ones that come with the downloads are not as tuned as what your SV06 Plus printer is. (Super slow prints with the Benchy).
If you've Klipperized your SV06+, don't use Orca Slicer's built-in profiles! They are for the Marlin firmware. I recommend following the step-by-step procedure I show you in this video on how to install Christian Vick's Klipper Printer Additions on the Klipper Screen and import his Orca presets. Please note: these Klipperized SV06+ presets are actually based on the SV07 presets, since the Klipperized SV06+ gains the capabilities of the SV07/+ except for the part cooling, which is a recommended and relatively easy upgrade via a 5015 blower.
@@gerGoPrint3D , Thank you. Have seen marked improvement using Christian Vick's configs. Only problem I have noticed is no part cooling works. Tested printing the the V2 pointers, there is no part cooling happening. Not sure if it is a bug within Orca/Klipper.
@@TheCog1983 I am using an older version of his presets, it is possible there is a bug in the newer versions. I recommend contacting him directly on his Printables pages or tagging him in the Sovol printer groups on Facebook.
What can I say - I've had loads of grief with Cura and my SV06 (with official Klipper screen) and this video is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Many thanks. Now for a noob question (because I am still one).... For my first test I used "CV 1.55 SV06 Klipper" as Printer and "0.20mm Standard @Sovol SV06" as Process. The "chopped" Benchy took 1hr 20 mins but the quality was amazing. Have I understood it right that its okay to use one of CV's SV07 processes with the SV06? - the only SV06 one in the list is for TPU. I'm using the Sovol Generic PLA setting, having checked that the flow speed is 15mms/sec. Now subscribed 😁
Thank you for your kind support!!! And no, no, you should not use Orca's own SV06 presets, they are for the Marlin version. Download Christian's presets and use the one he made for the regular size SV07. The Klipperized SV06 has the same motion cababilities as the SV07, only its nozzle is not high flow, so just halve the volumetric speeds of his filament presets. At least that's how I understand, but we are all learning here!
Fabulous! Thanks for clarifying. Just printing your Klipper case and all good so far. Once that's done I'll revamp my profiles. 😂
I dont see an SVO6+ build plate texture. Only SVO7+
Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos! They've been a massive help after getting my SV06 Plus. Just purchased your new Z-markers yesterday!
I coincidentally found Christian Vick's OrcaSlicer profiles after trying to find an alternative of Ellis' SuperSlicer/PrusaSlicer profiles for OrcaSlicer. Was pleasantly surprised to be led back to you again when looking up more information on it.
My only question for you is would you mind sharing what you changed in Christian's Process' to adapt them to the 0.6mm nozzle on the SV06 Plus? I essentially just took the line width values it had for the 0.4mm nozzle and scaled it directly for a 0.6mm nozzle but I'd love to see if you did any specific tuning for that or anything else you like to change.
Thanks again for the videos!
Thank you for the kind feedback! My 0.6mm Orca preset is not 100% but I will fine tune it and find a way to post it :) Thank you for the encoragement!
For some reason whenever I press the adaptive mesh button in an attempt to turn it off it just keeps sayings its on. It wont cycle to the off position. How do I fix this?
As explained in the video, you have to re-click the macro buttons within 5 seconds for them to change state. A single click only shows their status.

Hi. I just got a SV07+ a few days ago. I really appreciate the time you put into this tutorial and sharing orca with us. It made things very easy. I have one question though. When I turn on "Fan" through the dashboard the part fan connected to the extruder turns on and when I turn on "Extruder Partfan" the auxilary fan turns on. Is this normal? It seems backwards to me.
Aux fan is currently set to off in variables and it stays off while printing. I'm pretty sure the extruder parts fan is working as it should. I'm just worried because they seem to be mislabeled somehow and I'm not sure if they're acting as they should. Thanks again.

Thank you again for this most excellent video. Even I can follow it early in the morning 🤗 OK a stupid question: I see the XY print head accelerations are set to 12 meters per second squared. Is that safe for the machine? It's really going to put some substantial force on it when it's printing. Some people put slabs of stone or concrete under their printers - lots of mass.
Yes, that's a bit daring from Christian, but personally I havent seen any layer shifts on my printers. You can take it back a bit if you are more cautious.

Sorry, but I have no experience with that :( Maybe you can ask Christian on printables (or Bassmantor on reddit). Both are accessible, they tend to respond to questions like this.
How do I stop the sv07 plus from doing a z tilt before each print?
You'll need to enable "Advanced Tools" in ___module_loader.cfg and then you'll have a "PREPRINT GANTRY CALIBRATE MODI", you'll have to press it twice to turn it off. I guess if you use adaptive mesh it is OK to turn off gantry calibrate, but even then it is better (unless you physically coupled your z-motors)
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it definitely helped improve the quality of my prints.
I do have a quick question if you have a moment. I noticed that whenever I start a new print, the printer will do the Z-Tilt probing before the print. Is this normal? And if not, any idea on how to get around it? I'm assuming it's something in the printer.cfg file, but not sure what and don't want to mess it up after getting it dialed in hah.
It doesn't really affect anything, but just curious. Thanks!
Yes, it's normal. And I actually talk about this. On the SV06/Plus it is better to turn this off, since the automatic method is slow, loud and not accurate. But on the SV07/Plus it is desirable to sync the z-motors before the print, as they drift from each other as soon as the motors are unlocked. For the SV06/Plus I recommend watching my recent video on an alternative z-tilt method using a practical little Klipper macro I created.
Could you make a video how to connect the camera? For some reason, I can't do it in any way, I've tried different cameras.
I thought about it. Maybe when I finally work out how to install timelapse option. But I am no expert. For monitoring I just plugged in the $5 webcam I bought on Aliexpress and added it in Mainsail settings (cog icon in upper right) → webcam. There were no other settings required, just rebooted the printer an voi'la. I have the cams plugged into the second usb A port at the bottom of the Sovol Klipper screen of both printers.
very helpful indeed. Will these work with the SV06 model ?
Yes, SV06 with Sovol's own Klipper screen should work with these exact settings. Orca Slicer does work with the standard non-Klipperized SV06 also, but you will have to adjust Christian's presets slightly to add start g-code that marlin needs. You might be better off using the stock Orca SV06 presets then. If you have non-Sovol Klipper, this will also work, but you might need to talk to Christian (message him on Printables) since there could be a few differences.
If I added the preheat buttons to my Klipper screen that you talked about in an earlier video will installing Christian's stuff cause me to lose them?
No, the two are independent. Christian Klipper additions are simple macros. The preheat buttons modify the Klipper screen panel scripts. You can actually disable CV's additions simply by commenting out the [include] line in printer.cfg
Thank you.

Does anyone have an issue where the model in the slicer plate and position on the bed are not the same at all? I have a model centered but it's almost printing off the edge of the plate when printing.
Are you using the right profiles? Sounds like you are using settings for a regular size SV06 or SV07 instead of the plus version SV07+ or SV06+. Check the build volume settings for the printer in the slicer.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thanks for the response. I will check that, it would make sense.
Not sure what happened but everything fell into place. However I suspect it was related to the clearance to the wall in the back. The plate electrical connector was hitting the wall and I suspect that the printer was deteting and compensating for the reduced travel in it's pre-print checks.
Dear derGO, you mentioned the "samurai nozzle cut". With which macro can you activate that one?
I think it's called Samurai Move, the name of the macro is "Preprint Samurai Move". Make sure to tap the macro button twice within 5 seconds to activate it (it should say "ON" in the log window). Please note, the Samurai Move is not compatible with the adaptive mesh afaik.
@@gerGoPrint3DMany thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it says: "The Samurai Move is not possible in adaptive mesh mode." Since I like the adaptive mesh mode, I guess I cannot use the Samurai Move with the adaptive mode. Don't get why it's not possible to use both. :)
@@bogydownYeah, good question. We could probably ask Christian. You can reach him on printables.
keep getting this message on my sv06plus
The Samurai-move is not possible on your printer, as the nozzle cannot drive beside the bed.
PrePrint_SamuraiMove_Modi please advise
Same here. We have to choose between adaptive meshing or the "samurai move." Since the SV06/Plus cannot level the gantry automatically, I went with adaptive mesh for it. My other two printers with Christian Vick's KPA can use pre-stored meshes:
A) The SV07 Plus can use its inductive probe and independent Z drivers to level all on its own.
B) The T300 doesn't have independent Z drivers, but I coupled the two, so they never come out of sync.
I am planning to couple the Z motors of the SV06 Plus as well (I already have the components, I just need the time to do it), so it will not need gantry leveling either, and I can disable adaptive meshing there too. If you have pre-stored meshes and your gantry is not perfectly level, it will mess up your first layer. Adaptive mesh can be a last-minute fix for an imperfect gantry level.
@@gerGoPrint3D I would be most interested in this how to video and the necessary components. And will this then allow samurai move ?
hi
under Orca at the end of the print I have the head which remains on the print, the plate does not advance and the head does not return to the zero point. Is there a special ending g-code required?
CV's end macro (_End_Print) should take care of it. If you are not using CV's additions, then just put END_PRINT, that will also turn off heating, and move toolhead to the back of the print bed.
Thank you it works

I found this video via reddit post in the sovol group. Can you advise me if the sv07 would be a good next printer for someone like me. I have 2x sv01s that I print PETG exclusively and have run for thousands of hours the past 3 years. They run .6 nozzles at .35 layer height and 40mm MAX on speed. That is 8.4mm volumetric flow. All I want to do it print faster. My print projects are getting bigger and more extensive and I am having MAJOR analysis paralysis. Bambu / creality klipper machine / prusa / klipperized sv06 or sv07, or just put a beefier hotend on my machines. Thank you in advance. Great content .
The problem with PETG, that max volumetric flow is limiting its printing speed, so you are not going to be able to gain that much speed with Klipper (maybe go up to 10-12 mm3/s), but some quality and convenience because of the remote connection and features of Klipper such as exclude object etc. PETG doesn't profit that much from the super strength cooling of the SV07 as PLA would. Still, the SV07 and SV07 Plus are great machines, and I print a lot of PETG with my SV07+, though I have the 0.6mm on my SV06+ machine.

Yes, they are all based on his original SV07 presets, they have similar capabilities. The motion ability limits are controlled in the machine presets, they are different, but the filament / process presets can be the same. Only the standard SV06 needs filament presets dialed back (e.g. max volumetric flow) since it doesn't have the high flow nozzle of the newer models.
@@gerGoPrint3D I tried it but without any remarkable success. The model looks like a cheese with almost no continuous lines , like the flow would be only 50% ? It's on 95% according to the settings , very strange.
Hi gerGo, thanks a lot for your tutorial. I made everything like you described. Marcos are working at my SV06 Plus Klipper. But while printing a Benchy the layers at the corners are much higher than the straight layers. That causes after a few layers spaghetti... What I'm doing wrong? Can you advise maybe?
Thanks in Advance.

Sounds like you'd need to tune flow rate or pressure advance for your filament. I am going to do a video on the calibration tools built into Orca Slicer, but you can also research it for yourself. It could also just be curling at the edges? You can calibrate that with a temperature tower.It's a bit hard to tell from a distance just by description.
Have you done any part coolig upgrades? The stock SV06/Plus doesn't have sufficient cooling for Klipper speeds, which Christian Vick's presets assume. I recommend at least a 5015 blower upgrade, until then I'd print at 30-40% of CV's speeds.
@@gerGoPrint3D Hi, thanks for your answer. I tried to change the values pa and flow rate. But it didn't get better. If I use Cura everything's fine. Only with Orca I have the problem.

@@JustinFritts Hi, yes I was thinking of an cooling issue, too. I tested a print with 100% cooling power.

Happy weekend :) Just wondering, for the Sovol SV07+, what is the biggest nozzle you would use for fast prototyping? Sovol sent the variety pack of upgraded nozzles, yay, so it makes me wonder what size is best for prototypes that will have 2mm walls. Thank you! Looking at the presets in Orca. Under Printer settings -> Extruder there is a nozzle diameter field. Do any of the other things on that page (min/max layer heights, Z hop when retracting, etc) need to be changed for larger nozzle?
Nice! Since the SV07 is already plenty fast the bigger nozzles don't really increase speed as the bottle neck becomes the part cooling. But at the same speed we can get better strength with the bigger nozzles. How much bigger depends on the print. I found 0.6mm almost as detailed as the 0.4mm, while the 0.8, 1.0 nozzles could be useful for extra-large functional pieces. I also recommend the larger nozzles for PETG and flexibles.
@@gerGoPrint3D I am not against getting a second SV07+ to set up for large functional pieces if that becomes a thing. Being able to design & print such is what brought me to these things :)

Please write to Christian on Printables. That's the quickest way to reach him. I can try to tell him about the issue too, but he is not here on RUclips to respond.
Can someone PLEASE do a video about m how to hook up our Klipper screens to a laptop!!!! I use a Mac abut that’s not the point I wish someone would assume that not everyone is great on computers and do a slow intensive video on how to even get to this point in your videos. I can’t find one video that n RUclips on how to even get my laptop hooked up like a raspberrypi videos. Please make a video and assume we don’t work on computers at work for jobs. I’m a brick layer but great at 3d printing!
That’s a good point! Unfortunately, I don’t have any Apple products around; the best I could do is provide a PC/Windows step-by-step guide. I’ve done a few, but your feedback encourages me to make them slower and more detailed
GUYS I nees some help. after doing everything exactly till 19:32 (saving and restarting Printer.cfg) I'm getting an issue. Klipper is shutting down and getting this message:Shutdown due to Klipper Printer Additions: Your printer configuration has not defined where to save variables. Nothing can work correctly without.
If you have an SV07 with old firmware: Update the firmware (preferable), or copy this into your printer.cfg file:
[save_variables]
filename: ~/printer_data/config/saved_variables.cfg
If you have another printer you probably need to adapt the path. It should be the same directory where your 'printer.cfg' file is located.
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the
"FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the
config, and restart the host software.
Printer is shutdown
Cans someone help please
I guess I solved it.
made a copy of printer.cfg. renamed it ti saved_variables.cfg and emptied the file.
edit [save_variables]
filename: ~/printer_data/config/saved_variables.cfg to printer cfg and getting same console info after the restart of klipper
Have you added the mentioned [save_variables] section to the top of your printer.cfg?
Alternatively you can make a backup of your printer (see my video about EMMC backups - I hope you already did!) and then update Klipper in your SV07 to the latest available from Sovol (see my video on updating the SV07/Plus Official firmware update). Be sure to make a complete backup!!!
Hallo und danke für deine Tips , aber sieh Mal was mir passiert ist. Siehe Fotos, kannst du mir helfen?
You can post photos and questions in the Sovol Facebook group and be sure to tag me, but let others to comment also, because there are much more knowledgeable group members there than I am. I will be happy to take a look and help!
I'm working through adding v3.0b4 to my SV07 Plus. How did you know which Macros to put into which groups? I haven't had time to read what they all do yet.
Christian named the macros in a way so you can just regard the first part of each macro's name as the name of the group it belongs to. Also, all his macro descriptions start with the word KPA for easy distinction.
I cannot get pass this on my sv06plus.

figured it out. had to comment out lines 12 and 18 in the printer_sovol_sv06_features_christian_vick.cfg.
Is there anywhere you can get help with this (forum, reddit etc?), I installed it and it appears installed properly and working in the firmware but my print quality is really bad now, not sure how to fix it or what is wrong.
Did you follow everything I've shown? I found Christian Vick's additions to make a major difference.
@@gerGoPrint3D I followed through the video and all functions in the firmware appear to be working, I set the same settings as you too (for SV07). Parts of the print are good but anything with even the smallest amount of overhang (well not even overhang but with an angle) print very badly.
Christian !
What is the process to get your sv07 files into orca ?
I know PS pretty well, have OS installed, its meh. looks like PS with a cura skin, which is awful looking.
So, is there an import button somewhere? or do I need to drop those *json files into a certain windows folder?
Thanks in advance
Christian is not on RUclips, you can reach him on printables. I show in the video how to import the presets
Why are there no thumbnails with Orca? I have few other questions too, is this the best place to ask them?
There are if you use Christian Vick's presets (or do some research on your own, there are a few necessary lines to be added to your start g-code). But if you follow my guide to install CV's presets you will have thumbnails both in the Mainsail insterface and on the Klipper Screen itself. 3rd alternative: install Orca Slicer 2.0beta, it has the thumbnails fixed too, I think.
I followed the video but maybe I missed a step. . .
@@JRChristensonNo problem :) I talk about a ton in this video ;) BTW the lines you need to include in the start g-code is this:
;### hack-fix to generate preview-images in Moonraker / fluidd / printer's display: Write fake slicer info here so that preprocess_cancellation can process. ###
; generated by SuperSlicer 1.5.0 on 2023-04-21 at 13:13:47
Basically there is a bug in Makerbase Klipper screen that only works with this ancient slicer, so we need to trick it to think we are using it. CV's presets already contain these lines, and I've seen mentioned in Orca V2beta change log that they will now automatically add this line for you. I think Cura already does, that's why thumbnails work from Cura.
Hello. I've installed Klipper Printer Additions and Orca Presets for my SV07 Plus. Just two questions. When I select diferent process presets the layers high only changes at 250mm DRAFT (0.32 & 0.32) and the rest of presets highs are the same (0.2 & 0.28), is this ok? Otherwise, now when I print before printing my file, a circle is printed. Why this? Is it necessary or is it possible to disable? Thanks for your work.
Hi! I'll also ask Christian to respond to these questions. Imho we are free to adjust the layer heights of any of the presets to adjust quality, the presets differ mainly in printing speed settings.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thank you very much. With the new presets, what are the previous movements at 140ºC that the printer does before pinting? Any kind of auto calibration maybe? Sorry and thanks for my questions, I'm very newbie with this.
@@Xabiman Please wait for the video, maybe it answers some of your questions 😉
Can this info be used on other printers like the Elegoo 4 pro and 3 Pro (with Klipper)?
Talk to Christian I think it's in his longer term plan to make his Klipper Additions more universal. I think you can most easily reach him in his Printables page linked from the description of this video.
i have the sv07+ , trying to import filament profil but nothing imported , ----------There are 0 configs imported. (Only non-system and compatible configs)
Hint: Make sure you have added the corresponding printer before importing the configs.
Did you select the regular SV07 in the original wizard then imported the "CV SV07+" from Christians presets? These two steps are needed before the filaments will be imported correctly. Also make sure to use Orca 1.8 or higher (1.9 is the newest) and Christian's presets version 1.5 or higher.
Thankz

hey whatsupp i have one error : Unknown pin chip name 'multi_pin'
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART"

Printer is halted ???
Which printer? Sovol Klipper Screen? Fan control should not be enabled on SV06/Plus!
@@gerGoPrint3D is Good that found but my first print with New settings is big fail , with profil orcaslicer draft, with your draft profil in cura that found perfectly with very Good quality
What is the reason for enabling enable_object_processing in the Moonraker config? Couldn't find it the setup guide of the 3.0b3 release.
This is part of setting up the feature "exclude_object".
@@gerGoPrint3D ah, missed that, thank you :)
can i use the sv07 process presets on the 6+?
Well, I would use SV07 Plus presets instead. These two printers have similar motion limits, so yes the speeds could be carried over. Stock cooling is very different, but those are controled in the filament presets.
error '/home/mks/printer_data/config/printer_additions/__module_loader.cfg' does not exist ?
Did you copy the files on the Klipper Screen already? Is the name of the directory "printer_additions"? You have to be precise, all lowercase and an underscore character between the two words. Also, make sure you have 3 underline characters in the beginning of the ___module_loader. In your comment above you only typed 2... Be precise!

I went back to cura.
i cannot for the life of me get a good benchy print on orca slicer. i have the sv06+ and have tried the default profiles i downloaded. and with a modified one i tried to copy the cura profile from
i am using the normal pla preset with temperature set to 200 and 60.
issue is that i get flawless prints using cura with minimal changes to the profile but i cant get any good prints using orca. the first layer will almost always drag some peices away and after the bow of the benchy will warp inward and outward with orca. ive tried a almost 1:1 copy of the cura profile and it still has issues. im not sure what to do because i like the orca slicer.
i feel likle i should be able to just print a benchy with standard settings
I keep getting an "error below min extruder temp" as soon as hit start print using Orca. There's a conflict somewhere, but I have not been able to solve it. Cura works fine.
Yes, I saw that message once. It was independent from CV's additions though. Just moving the part to a different area of the bed and reslicing solved it then, and i never saw this strange behavior after that. It would be important though to narrow it down to what is causing this. Unfortunately at the time this came up for me I was in a rush and did not want to experiment, I was just happy the re-slice fixed it
Same issue here. I think it has something to do with the filament settings and start g code.
Üdv! Tudnál egy kicsit segíteni? SV06+ al kapcsolatban mindent feltettem ahogy elmondtad. Beállítottam a Z offsetet, first layer teszt is megfelelően beállítva. Orca slicer beállítva az innen letöltött profilokkal. 1.5 PLA META kiválasztva és CV 1.5 200mms szintén default. Viszont az első benchy próbánál kb a 3.-4. layertől elkezd hátrafelé eltolódni a nyomtatás (layer shift), és ilyen nagyobb ütések hallatszanak. Hol lehet a probléma? (olyan mintha az infill nyomtatása közben a fúvóka beleakadna a nyomatba) Köszönöm.
Hello. Próbáltál másik filamentet? Van ami túlságosan kunkorodik. Próbáld lejjebb venni az infill sebességét és kísérletezhetsz másik infill-el. Az is lehet, hogy kéne egy picit feszíteni a tárgyasztal szíjjon. Túl se jó feszíteni, mert terheli a motort, de próbáld negyed fordulatonként. De az első az, hogy a kunkorodást (curling) csökkentsd.
Egyenlőre eddig az alzás Creality Ender-PLA val próbáltam. Itthon nincs jelenleg más. Nem lehet hogy a sebességgel van a gond? Feszítettem a szíjon és levettem 60%-ra a sebességet de így is eltolja hátrafelé (igaz nem olyan durván mint 100% sebességen, ott szinte minden egyes layert eggyel hátrébb tolja) Mikor ez az eltolódás bekövetkezik akkor egy csúnya koppanás is hallatszik.@@gerGoPrint3D
@@gps4everyone Lehet, hogy eltört vagy lelazult a motoron levő görgő ami a szíjat moztgatja. Nézd meg hogy a szíj lelazítása után tudod-e a motortól függetlenül forgatni. Próbálhatok még néhány dolgot mondani, de úgy hangzik ez már garis dolog lesz idővel... Facebook-on tudod legjobban elérni a Sovol3D-seket.
Próbáltam még húzni a szíjon, már most ritkábban tolja el a réteget. Úgyhogy úgy néz ki hogy ott lehet a baj. Csak nekem már ez előtt is feszesnek tűnt. Ezek szerint akkor még húzzak rajta? Mi a megfelelő feszesség? Mondjuk ha már a alsó felső szíjat össze nyomva nem érnek egymáshoz? Nem szeretnék kárt tenni benne. :)@@gerGoPrint3D Azt kipróbáltam hogy lelazítottam és úgy nem forgott, vagyis forgott de szerintem a motorral együtt tudtam forgatni. Elöl ki is vettem azt a forgó tengelyt, nem látszik rajta semmi.
edit2: Tettem egy próbát a 150mms profillal, sajnos az is csinált egy eltolást a nyomtatásban kb a felénél. :( Egyszerűen nem értem hogy mi lehet a baja. Ezekkel a profilokkal simán működnie kellene max sebességen?
edit3: A CV 1.5 100mms profillal hiba nélkül tökéletes nyomat jött ki, viszont 1óra 20 percig nyomtatta. :( Lehet hogy ezt az Y motort kellene cserélni, mert ott lehet a hiba?! Nagyobb rántásnál csúszik el a layer és akkor van ez a koppanás szerű hang is.
@@gps4everyone Nekem Sv07-en ugyan ez volt a probléma az Y tengelyen. Bármit próbáltam mindig elcsúszott - vagy hátra, vagy előre-. A support sem volt valami nagy segítség, mondták hogy cseréljem meg az X-Y motorokat, de ugyanúgy elcsúszott. Lényeg a lényeg, a klipper konfigban elkezdtem kis lépcsőkben növelni az [tmc2209 stepper_y] menü alatt a "run_current" nevű beállítást. Nekem a kezdőérték 1.2 volt, ha jól emlékszem, és most 1.36-nál teljesen eltűnt a probléma. Félve attól, hogy nehogy túlmelegedjen a motor, egy hosszabb nyomtatás során méregettem a hőmérsékletét, de aligha volt melegbb, mint a régi beállításokkal. Remélem segít neked is!
two questions for me
I juste arrived on ORCA and I have some "issues"
I associated my printer klipper interface to orca, with the API and the URL but I can't start a print through orca, I need to export my gcode and find it on my desktop
how do I send my gcode from orca to klipper and print ?
and second one, in your presentation you show that from the web interface of klipper, you have a view from you plate with the different parts, I have only text, so I can't know which part is the part I want to exclude, is there a manipulation or a trick ?
1) press the little arrow next to the "Export G-code" button and select "Print". then you will have 2 options: "Upload" and "Upload & print" (yes, I probably should have shown pressing the "Print" button in the upper right corner, but you can see the "Print" button light up in my video at 24:30 after slicing)
2) are you using one of CV's process profiles? Those have the "Exclude objects" option on the "Others" page already checked. If not, just check it.
@@gerGoPrint3D Thanks for the answer, I am asking that because when I press Print from ORCA nothing happens…
I am running a FLSUN SR, I made my own profiles since I am using prusaslicer since it got launched for the printer.
@@bouberboss So if I understand you correctly you are trying to use CV Klipper Printer Additions without CV's presets. It should be possible, but I don't really have any experience with that. I would refer you to Christian. You can best reach him on Printables.
Junk Printer
This is one of my favorite printers, it has been working great ever since I unboxed it about a year ago. There are no bad printers, just inexperienced users 😜 Even of something comes broken out of the box with a bit of patience and adventurous spirit you can make it work. Look at my T300! The single driver z motors and the badly warped bed discouraged many, but I saw the good in that beautiful machine, and after a few, relatively simple mods and upgrades it's one of my best, certainly the quickest start-up time printers: ruclips.net/video/n12MEwsOrZs/видео.html

Try disabling the Spiral prime line and see if it works without (I personally don't use the spiral prime line). There could be a accidental bug in Christian's code.
