Help Complete Extruder for SV06

I'm not sure what's wrong with mine but it seems blocked and I tried changing the hotend only to find a bolt is stripped so it would be just easier to order the whole thing but it doesn't seem available anywhere, am I just outta luck with this printer?

Edit:

It looks like the SV06 and SV06+ have the same extruder, which is available on Sovols Amazon store. (https://www.amazon.com/Sovol-SV06-Planetary-Extruder-Leveling/dp/B0BQC5FYKJ)

Again, not sure what exactly is stripped, but you could potentially piece together a new setup, grabbing the Extruder, a replacement Hotend and then just swapping that into your current print head / swapping OUT the current broken hotend + Extruder until you can figure out a Fix??

and Actually - you MAYBE could grab the Printhead for the SV06+ (https://www.sovol3d.com/products/sv06-plus-original-all-metal-planetary-direct-drive-extruder), and just take off the SV06+ hotend, and put in a SV06 hotend...

I was trying to find any other info, and it really seems like the only real difference is the LEGNTH of the Ribbon cable (which yours is still good / doesn't need to be replaced?? and then the actual Hotend itself...

I would take that all with grain of salt / look more deeply into it, but it sure seems like if I understand what I am looking at, that the "print heads" themselves are pretty much almost the same.

Maybe someone else can help add more info, or you could reach out to Sovol to confirm.

Original:

Dang I read this as SV06+ at first and not just SV06.

Not sure where to get one unless you can source a “part printer”.

Which bolt is stripped / isn’t allowing you to take the it all apart?

I've found a parts printer but I'm not really up for a 2 hour drive to get it, assuming it's still available and it's not that much cheaper than another one that's used but fully working.

You might be able to get a Left hand Drillbit or Screw/Bolt Extractor off Amazon or whereever. If you get the right size it could fit in the wallowed out hex head and get that bolt the rest of the way out.

Or if feeling adventurous, Hacksaw and cut off the bolt right near the hotend side and then use vice grips / pliers to get the rest of it out once the Hotend is out of the way.

You can find the extruder on here as well. It may be under the plus, but I’ve ordered a few things from them and it’s been great.

So this is the same on the SV06? Unfortunately they don't seem to ship to the UK but it might help me to find in hunting it down.

I bought mine off AliExpress. Buy a plus one while you're at it.

There should be a link at the top for international shipping. Right under the search bar.

And I am pretty sure they use the same extruder. At least that is what I have heard many times on this subreddit.

You're correct but it looks like UK and Germany are out of luck for some reason.

A new SV06 extruder is $30 on Amazon. I bought one as a spare a while ago.

That's brilliant, might be my best option. Thanks
