Prusa-Firmware VS SV06-Fully-Open-Source

Maybe Prusa issue 602 can be somewhat relevant... https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/602

I’m aware that I have issue #602 going on here... But has anyone else experienced these more-obvious layer lines showing up whenever a new feature in the model is started? See the lines continuing along the walls that correspond with the steps and even the rear hole.

It doesn't appear to be related to this known bug: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/4288

You should read the release notes for 3.12. https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/releases/tag/v3.12.0

MK2/3: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/releases/tag/v3.12.0 (mentioned under Arc interpolation features G2/G3)

Now comes thermal modeling which has issues with Revo 6. I completed steps 5-16 on Github (see https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/4105). This eliminated almost all the Revo 6 issues associated with thermal modeling. I would always get a beep and "Thermal Anomaly" warning on the LCD. Not a fatal printer error but annoying.

The A8's were responsible for a few housefires due to not having thermal runaway activated in the firmware, there are much much better printers available these days, one printer that is built the same as this but is based on the Prusa MK3 is the Sovol SV-06 and is a very good machine https://sovol3d.com/products/sovol-sv06-direct-drive-3d-printer

And even then, there are plenty of clones with comparable (and even slightly better) features for less than half the price.

Hey they have models here https://github.com/Sovol3d/SV06-Fully-Open-Source

You print the replacement part on a different printer, order it directly on the aftermarket, purchase it from the manufacturer, or have it print over a print service, as the entire assembly has been published by sovol. https://github.com/Sovol3d/SV06-Fully-Open-Source

The files provided from Sovol are replacement models for the parts on the printer that you could 3d print or source elsewhere from what I understand https://github.com/Sovol3d/SV06-Fully-Open-Source . The One-Stop Shop https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/tree/master provides some updated klipper (custom firmware) configs that seem to work well on the sv06 and that same person is trying to gather info on the electronic parts of the machine as well so we can replace the parts as needed if something breaks and don't need to wait on Sovol to reply to source a replacement https://github.com/bassamanator/everything-sovol-sv06 . I personally would love to contribute to the teardown but this is my first 3d printer and I am not nearly knowledgeable enough to begin tearing this apart fully. I likely will to grease the bearings but mine seem to have avoided the issue that has plagued numerous others and will try to document things then.

No need to take measurements Sovol have open sourced the parts and provided STL’s, you can find them here.
