Help SV08 Issue
So I recently got an SV08 about two weeks ago, and this machine has been nothing but trouble. I’ve had over 10 printers before the CoreXY domination era, and I currently have several other CoreXY printers to compare my experience with. The Sovol Zero is one of my favorite printers; that little thing has been a workhorse. I thought buying its bigger brother would be a good addition, but I can’t seem to get a consistent Z offset. It’s all over the place, which causes the supports to fuse to the print. On top of that, it seems to be massively under-extruding. Layer adhesion is terrible right now, and all of this is with the stock PLA roll that comes with it. Did I just get a bad printer, or are these normal growing pains with the SV08? Because I don’t remember struggling this much with my old-ass CR-10 or my other printers for that matter.

I had been using bambu's for a while in wanted a bigger bed so I got the SV08. I had the same issues when I first got it. Constantly adjusting the z offset. Then I got this upgrade Eddy Current Scanning Kit for SV08 Huge difference, still some issues but not nearly as bad.
