The main reason I chose to do it was mainly because Sovol had not released hardened steel nozzles for the SV08 yet. I don't print too much PETG, so the nozzles falling out when printing PETG was not too much of a factor, but that was also part of my decision. I also am not a fan of only being able to get nozzles from Sovol. The Bambu clone nozzles are easily available through Amazon.
@@kzdom115 I didn’t have a good luck with his files. I ended up designing my own block that gets rid of the need for all the channels wire extensions and hassle. I’m working on a shroud design right now. I also printed my adapter out of PLA just to see what would happen and I’ve had no issues with it even running it upwards of 300 C for long periods of time
@@HagiRoku nice, I was able to use my stock heater and thermistor, so my wiring is nice and neat, but I did need to do some with a drill bit to get everything to mount up nicely.
Sv06+ guy here. Why upgrade the sv08 hotend?
