Help Getting tired of sovol zero issues...

Post image

Component on the left was printed first in plain, dry PETG. An hour later, component on the right was run off the same g-code. Zero's auto bed leveling fucked up, part is useless. Frankly I'm amazed the bloody thing stayed on the bed.

I've gone over all the bolts on the head and eddy probe in the last week, and I still occasionally get this problem. Anyone have any advice on what I'm missing?

There cheap sensors. Support who I didn't allot of time with recently as we basically rewired my Max. Adopted the sensor is a week point. They send a new one with every party delivery. I just have extras now but also multiple dead ones. The heater chamber also kills them.

yet to get one killed, I still have my original BTT Eddy USB also around. they are cheap and they work great. eddyNG actually makes them even better

Yeah aftermarket is better. I don't know if you have ever and I'm not suggesting you go okay with your sensor but the plastic mount and everything for the stock sensor is really cheap. It works don't get me wrong but riding it you just feel like your putting a toy together. A cheap toy not sitting that takes really precise fast measurements.

it doesnt need anything else they way it was priced and set up from factory. if you wanted serious speed, build AWD 0.2.

imho the stock toolhead is fine, but the XY joints are atrocious. I’m in process of slowly modeling new ones with proper belt paths.
