I had to reflash my eMMC today after a forced power stop when the z limit failed on me. It must have corrupted something on the eMMC. Redid everything but luckily did not have to flash the MCUs. Luckily I had a backup of all my files so it was much easier this time around. Only took about 30 minutes. .
Interesting. When did you receive your printer? Mine arrive in early August. I wonder if this is / was a QA check. I'm curious what Pin is assigned to your front fan? I went back and looked at my original print.cfg to make sure I wasn't crazy and it's PB0 - which is the top right, PB1 is the lower fan connector. So my SV08 appeared to ship plugged into the upper right pin!! Now I'm curious if others are experiencing this issue. I'm going to add the pin # for each location in the description so everyone can adjust as needed.
Have you had any "mcu 'eddie' unable to connect" Errors on klipper yet? I did the same install last week on my sv08 and kept getting intermittent freezes mid print coming from the eddy. After some GitHub reading I bought some ferrite cores and used one on the eddy cable and another on the tool head umbilical. I've not had an issue since. This is something to do with EMF Interference apparently. Just dropping this here to save people the headache I had.
I have not gotten the "mcu eddie unable to connect" yet. I will keep an eye on that. I did not attempt to modify my usb cable, so I wonder if the quality of the shielding isn't good, or if it's shielded at all!! I'll drop a link if I can find a higher quality cable that is cost effective and see if I can do a video on converting to those for the tool head and eddy. Thanks for sharing that information. My plan with this printer is to do a series of upgrades to improve reliability and performance.
Great video. Thanks for making it. I see you have some X1 Carbon’s. I own an X1C and I’ve been considering buying an SV08 for the build volume and the ability to upgrade it and tweak it etc.. but I’m curious, as an X1C owner, how do you compare the print quality between the two? My X1C has been a workhorse with consistent amazing print quality.. it just works over and over again. How do you find the print quality of the SV08 in comparison with or without your upgrades so far. I’m not expecting the user experience Bambu offers of course.. just wondering about the print quality you are getting
Thanks for watching and that is a great question! The X1C is definitely a level above the SV08 for sure in terms of ease of use and setup. Which is probably the largest difference between say a voron type printer / SV08 voron clone and the Bambu printers. The bambu's just work out of the box, you really don't need a ton of printing experience to have a great printing experience. The SV08 can be a good printer, that offers very similar quality of prints, it just takes some work to get it there. I have the SV08 and a voron 2.4r2 350mm and my Voron prints excellent (But that too is hours of testing and tweaking and upgrades). I will say the upgrades I've done so far inch the SV08 closer to a more expensive Voron 2.4 which is a good thing. If you want something to tinker with, has potential and you need the additional build volume the Sv08 isn't a bad choice. It's on sale now too for black friday / cyber monday so that makes it even more of a bargain. I'm testing some hotends to see if I can further improve print quality. Things are improving greatly, and the side comparison of the same print on the x1c and sv08 is getting harder to tell a difference.
Thank you! Just knowing that it is possible to get them that close in visual print quality is probably good enough for me to take the plunge.. the price is definitely right. I just found your channel and enjoy these sv08 videos, thanks for taking the time and effort to make them and share your knowledge and experiences etc.
BTT is supposed to have a can verizon coming out, they currently have one that works with a nighthawk tool board. EBB36/42. BTT also has a duo out that I can't find any additional information on. That supports usb and can. I'm going to try and order one and see if that is an option. I can report back once I've tested and gotten familiar with the duo version.
This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
No problem at all, happy to help!
Great VID Aaron. I have my Eddy on order and will be following your steps again.
This one is way easier than the klipper upgrade too!

on my sv08 the fan was actually on the connector on the bottom right (the 3 pin connector)

@@ThePrintasaurus The shielding is the conclusion that was reached on GitHub discussion.

@@colinmsmall No problem at all! There will be plenty more videos on the SV08. I have been using it more and more lately.
Is there any way to use the Eddy device (any of the Eddy models/interfaces) **with** the existing probe pinout already on the toolhead board?

@@ThePrintasaurusI would be interested in what you find out also.
