## Sovol SV08 I bought this printer used from Sovol directly. It was a good price and I hope it will be a good value. ### Current Mods - **[Runout sensor mounting bracket](https://www.printables.com/model/1333806-sovol-sv08-filament-runout-sensor-45-degree-bracke)** – Custom-fitted with a PC4-M6 - **[Infinity Flow S1](https://infinityflow3d.com/products/infinity-flow-s1-automatic-filament-loader)** - **[BIQU CryoGrip Pro Buildplates](https://biqu.equipment/collections/heatbed/products/biqu-cryogrip-pro-glacier-buildplate-for-voron-300-anycubic-kobra-3)** ### History Printer purchased in July of 2025. #### 2025-07-13 After using the printer for a short while, the left-rear z-axis stopped moving. After a few hours of debugging and tearing down the printer, I found a factory-installed screw had come loose and jammed between an extrusion and a pulley. Tightening the screw is all it took to fix it. I hope there was no permanent damage done to the motor or belt. #### 2025-07-16 My first mod for this printer is getting rid of that filament spool holder. This involves two components: [Infinity Flow S1](https://infinityflow3d.com/products/infinity-flow-s1-automatic-filament-loader) and [runout sensor mounting bracket](https://www.printables.com/model/1333806-sovol-sv08-filament-runout-sensor-45-degree-bracke). #### 2025-08-17 I added [filament cutters](https://infinityflow3d.com/products/automatic-filament-cutter) to the Infinity Flow S1. #### 2025-10-12 The Infinity Flow has been nothing but trouble and has caused more large prints to fail than to succeed. ### Planned Upgrades - None ### Current Status This printer is up and working. Eventually, I'll be moving it to the [[Printer Rack Platform]] I am building. There are a couple of quality-of-life issues I would like to address at some point. - Toolhead can't sense when the filament has run out - Infinity Flow S1 sometimes jams on filament runout sensor - Infinity Flow S1 just stops pushing filament sometimes - Infinity Flow S1 doesn't let the filament go when it runs out on the input side. The net effect of this is it fools the printer's filament run out sensor to never work. - I used to store the build plates under the SV08. Any time I accidentally touch the bottom of the printer with a build plate, the printer crashes > [!note]- Colophon > ![[Printer Naming#Carbonite]] ![[Discussions]]
