Migrate your Sovol SV08 to Mainline Klipper!

[@Ethan-ve3kb]

Just followed this guide after I couldn't get passed step 1 of the github one, I think it had to do with downloading the custom sovol files. Your way bypasses all that and installs it without a trace of sovol. It was a bit confusing to follow along with the video and the guide but it worked in the end! Thank you so much!

Hi Rick! I really appreciate this video. I've been generally happy with my SV08, but the inconsistent Z offset means it's not a set-and-forget printer. I want to try the Eddy coil, and for that, obviously, I need mainline Klipper. I, too, am an Engineer (Mechanical, by discipline). I spent the first couple years of my career as a Manufacturing Engineer for Boeing (early 90s) where I was tasked with writing jobs with instructions that told the shop guys how to actually make what was on the drawings. Later, of course, I moved to actual design jobs and later still to other places where I did NC programming, Tool Design, etc. Finally, I transitioned to IT, and spent 20 years as a network admin/systems Engineer. So much of your video reminded me of various parts of my career before I retired. I am currently waiting for a spare EMMC to arrive before I pull the trigger on this upgrade. But I just went through this video along with the PDF on my computer, and I have no doubt it'll go smoothly. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll put a curse on you, and damn you to a hell beyond imagination. But let's hope it doesn't come to that;-} Thanks!

Great job Rick!!! I was stuck with the original procedure and your update_klipper_mcu_sv08 file and DOS trick save my life 👍👍👍

[@ss1gohan13]

Thanks for the video. To be fair though, Rappetor is the og author of the mainline branch. I did help create the documentation though.

[@cyaneo7]

Thank you! Can't wait to see the manual / video of the can bus conversion (and also the BTT EDDY CAN version)!

[@jomiller7332]

thanks , last week I got stuck with the Mainline Github tutorial, I suspected a specific sv08 firmware thing, so now with your great Tutorial I finally will try it again

[@rickkollins]

Glad I could help

[@rodrigofarruguia1708]

You got a good voice and presence Rick, hope your channel grows.... it deserves to just based on the contributions to the SV08 community. Got my sub, Goodluck.

[@rickkollins]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words. Now, on to the next one...

[@cowboy124aa3]

Great well documented and informative video, I will be using this when I get my printer (in a week) and the parts I need to do the upgrade.

[@Favdowg]

ordered my emmc one week ago and this will help me a lot. thank you for this great video 👍

[@webnyoung]

Im at the step @53.50 minutes, dont see the intended error screen, I do see error "Include file '/home/biqu/printer_data/config/moonraker_obico_macros.cfg' does not exist Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted" I did go to backup and copied the file and used WINscp to put it in correct location . but still showing error

[@abitnutz6747]

I have the exact same error. Were you able to fix it?

[@PennyStonks420]

admittedly havent watched it yet, but this is the guide we need, thanks m8!

[@neoconker]

Thank you very much for the video. It helped a lot in the process.

[@JoeyscustomRC]

Great video 👍

[@rickkollins]

Thanks Joey!!!

[@pipgb9724]

Hello have you succeeded installing the can bus communication? A tutorial on that would be amazing

[@haagelx]

Hello, thanks for this video. Why not put a link to the mainline github in the description of the video ? Because your Google repository will not have the latest update of the guide, configuration files or script.

[@rickkollins]

Because when I used the official guide I found errors and could not finish the upgrade properly. The link is in the description. So I guess mine is the latest and far more thorough if you use my video with it. They match perfectly and you get to listen to me.

[@haagelx]

​​​@@rickkollinsas a contributor to the mainline github and the author of the auto update script, it will be hard to me to listen to you explained how work things that I wrote (Also not to mention that most of the screenshots you use were taken on my computer). If you find things that can be improved on the github guide, why not contribute to make it better with pull request as about a dozen of peoples have done, instead of doing things on your own Google drive?

[@MON5TERMATT]

I'm going to try to see if I can pull the document and make some changes through a pull request later on.

[@NotTodayMaybeTomorrowOk]

@@haagelx This does seem like what he should have done, and it wouldn't have prevented him from making this video, just also helped the project where he got 95% of his content.

[@thmo_]

@@MON5TERMATT I'm curious to see what actually has changed, glancing over it it doesn't seem to have any obvious differences.. really don't see why this vid went with the GDrive and not a contribution.

[@treyduval5399]

Trap app, did you ever get your main sail installed? I’m getting my printer next week and I’m thinking about doing this but man it seems intense! I want that Eddie though so I don’t think I have a choice

[@paullangford9558]

Need help!! got this error "Klipper reports: ERROR Section 'gcode_shell_command get_ip' is not a valid config section Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted"

[@seanmccall3568]

This is where I am stuck right now as well. Did you resolve this?

[@abitnutz6747]

@@seanmccall3568 I got the same thing. The only way I was able to get rid of the error was to comment out every line in the file. I don't believe this is a solution...I have no idea what it needs the file for.

[@Pridanc-oj4ot]

Rick, I've never used Klipper and have just received my SV08 I've decided that before ever lighting it up, I'll switch to Mainline. A reason? I don't have one but I like the fact that this install will be 100% clean. Just me I guess.? If I get stuck, "I'll be baaack". TY for your outstanding efforts.

I am interested about SV08 so I am looking your tutorial but what are the benefits of changing USB communication at toolhead to CanBus?

[@JeffRho]

CanBus reduces the number of wires to the tool head from a dozen or so to 4, reducing the mass the tool head has to swing around when printing, fewer wires to break over time.

[@ziruszirus1654]

@@JeffRho thought new printer change from CanBus to USB (LDO boards for Voron)…. More stable and faster.

[@oleurgast730]

@@ziruszirus1654 You are right. The SV08 uses usb for communication. 3-pin USB (D+,D-, GND, no 5V) and 24V (GND, 24V). This has some advantages over CAN: You can simply use an USB-hub for adding multiple Toolboards and a bigger or extra PSU to get multiple tools connected. A CAN bus would actually need more wires, as it is a linear bus with two terminated ends. So for two tools and the mainboard the two tools are terminated and the mainboard is in the middle of the bus, but with more than two tools you need CAN to go to one tool and back again - so actually you need more wires for any toolnr. bigger than 3.

[@matthiaslang4142]

Hi... Still got the problem: Attempting to connect to bootloader when I try to flash MCU. No Problem with flashing toolhead. Did everything - no extra connection. Connecting via LAN. Nothing works. May anybody help me?

[@user-jo2cd7qy9v]

Do you need to change tool head

[@5fingerlovetouch]

Followed the github and then tried this. Either way I'm having Internal error on command:"Z_OFFSET_CALIBRATION" , Internal error on command:"QUAD_GANTRY_LEVEL", Internal error on command:"START_PRINT" Everything is 'on' and seems to be working until I want to do anything. Then it shuts down either the first or second time the nozzle touches the thing in the back.

[@mierzwinski]

has anyone booted sv08 from an sd card?

[@Reds3DPrinting]

yes, teaching tech mentions something about this and does something along these lines with his part 3 video

[@jeremyviccari4523]

Yes, it works just fine. The 8gb emmc did not function, as mentioned in this howto

[@rastercaster]

Someone would make a ton of money to just do a paid service to do all of this. I just want a Stealthburner with a reliable probe on my SV08 so I can have Revo, the toolhead look, and Mainline Klipper. Offer a core charge or to send in your own parts to be modded.

[@rickkollins]

I agree!

[@rastercaster]

@@rickkollins want a second income? I would be your first customer. Hardware is easy for me, its the software that get me. My SV08 is nice but its been an itch that needs scratching.

[@redline6871]

I’m not sure why there isn’t an online configure for klipper and streamline it but it might be being gatekept on purpose it’s the only thing that makes sense. It would cut down on all the companies creating dirty installs.

[@rastercaster]

@@redline6871 that would be a damn good idea
