Thank you all for your help! After yesterday’s Input I managed to Print my Box! The Problem was (mostly) the Bed temperature! The lower Bed temperature (60°C) and the now successful Firmware-Update (special thanks to DABDA) done the trick!

Thank you all for your help and your advice!

Hello I’m very new to 3D printing, I’m using a Sovol 06 with 1.75mm PLA. I’m trying to print a Box (for MTG-Cards). But everytime the bottom of the Box starts to “deatche” itself from the Bed. It starts with one corner and then progresses to the whole print. The Nozzle temperature is 200°C and the Bed temperature is 80°C. Can someone help?

    If you’re printing PLA then 80°C bed temp is way too hot and probably contributing to warping, lower the temp to 60°C or so. The filament roll should have suggested temperatures labeled on it somewhere.

    Could you take a few pictures that document your first layer and how that problem you’re describing starts to develop?

        To my eyes the inner rectangle portions look pretty good and uniform. If that’s a brim around the outer edge it’s definitely not doing its job.

        Is the severe warping and sharp creases from you fighting to remove it from the plate or is this basically how it looked on the printer?

        EDIT: If there’s any kind of draft near the printer maybe you could try using a cardboard box or something to build a makeshift enclosure.

          Amount of extrusion on the brim looks about right, so first thing I’d make sure is that the first layer gets laid down in a constant distance to the bed. That requires the bed to be level, but also fro the printer to know about how the bed is a bit uneven in places so it can compensate for that.

          The FAQ for the printer mention:

          This sounds like they did something about the autoleveling in the new firmware release. Make sure you use that, then report back.

    Have you leveld the bed allready, it needs to have the right distance to the nozzle everywhere.

      I have no personal experience with a failed firmware update but a quick search returned https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/sv06-bad-flash-probably-needs-bootloader/1452 and “solved” = https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/sv06-mainboard-brick-after-updating-sovol-firmware/862/52

      Seems like for some people it was ultimately the sd card being faulty that was causing the failure, especially if it was the sd card included with the printer.

      Good luck!

        Thank you for your help! I’ve now set up a VM with Ubuntu and used a different FlashCard to safe it to. And now he is working again!

          Awesome, glad to hear it!

          When you’re ready to try printing again I agree with the suggestions to:

          • lower the bed temp to ~60c
          • avoid using glue sticks or similar since it shouldn’t be necessary with PLA, and will just add another variable
          • keep working through first layer print tests

          I’m surprised you’re having adhesion problems with a PEI build plate. When I swapped to PEI it was like magic; filament effortlessly sticks and finished prints pop off from a gentle flex. There isn’t like a plastic shipping cover on it or something is there?

          Anyway, good luck with the rest of your troubleshooting – I’m sure you’ll eventually get it dialed in :)
