Easy fix: add a fan that is louder than the motors. Now you can't even hear the motors anymore.
love the videos I have the Sovol SV01 on the way now and I am already planning on the board upgrade as well as BLTouch among other upgrades. All of your videos are very informative for a noob like me. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you for making this! I was losing hope of getting my touch sensor installed before stumbling across your video ^_^ I still have some fiddling to do to get things exactly right, but I feel more confident now. I appreciate you, your humor, and your easy to follow nature!
Great example and explanation of installing the BLTouch and Silent Board. Just completed the process, well building the mesh at the moment. I'm really not surprised that you have quickly become a valuable resource for the SV01! Thanks for your effort and work.
This video is great! I bought the silent board and BL Touch at the same time as the SV01 but I haven't been able to get it tuned properly. After this video I sat down and re-tuned and WOW! what a difference! Now I'm printing perfect first layers and my brims are actually structural now. Before, the brims were like individual strands but now they're fusing together and actually doing the job they're supposed to do. I haven't had a failed print since I followed this video. Thanks Joshua! Now I need some quieter fans...
Thanks for this video. I actually ordered both the silent board and the bltouch from Sovol about a month or two ago from their China warehouse. Now I can just refer back to this video whenever that shipment ever arrives
Thanks a lot for this, I was getting confused when I was mounting the bl touch to the head. I noticed their instructions made no sense since the bltouch wasn't even straight in their videos.
Then I found this, and well that fixes it.
My SV-01 is arriving Thursday. Very excited!
Iv installed both as shown and had no problems related to this install. I am still having adhesion issues and the bed coming loose but I am almost there. I have come back to this video several times for reference. Since I had to change out the head as it was defective. Your vids helped a lot thank you for making them.
Looking for a printer and have seen your videos. They’re great. Really interesting to watch. Keep up the good work. You’ve taught me a lot about 3d printing. Thank you.
Totally worked! Thank you SO much for these videos. I'm new to 3d printing and have been very successful because of them. Just a heads up. You may want to power cycle after installation BEFORE printing. I left runoff sensor off and printed something. When it finished, it tried to keep pushing the bed off the machine, making awful noises, etc. Thankfully I was there when it finished and turned it off quick!
Nice one Joshua - next a quiet fan. Liked the reference to Bueller's Day Off
I upgraded my Ender-3 to have a silent mainboard and BLTouch a year ago. With my Ender-3 I did not have to do the 100 point auto bed level but instead it does a 9 point auto bed level before each print. I also configured the start g-code to heat the nozzle and bed while doing the auto bed level to save time (CHEP made a video about it). I had to compile Marlin v1.1.9 myself to fit onto the 128k of the Ender-3 by removing features. Anyways thanks for the video you got me into FPV (:
You saved my day! I was struggling to get the BLtouch work properly with my SV01. Your video and your g-code are perfect, thank you!
Did you ever use the Sv01?
One thing to consider before going to auto-leveling (which is not really auto at all just more tinkering) are that:
1. you can't "auto home" the nozzle towards the left forward edge of the plate after a filament change to make sure it starts printing at the exact location; this is because "auto home" now will be at the center of the plate.
2. you can't rescue a print where the filament stopped coming out because again, you can't "auto home" at the left front edge of the build plate because the auto-level is programmed to auto-home in the middle of the plate.
really informative video and besides, I really like your subtle humor. thumbs up👍👍
Thanks professor! Going to put this on my new Sovol01, thanks to you. So much nicer than trying to rabbit hole this mod myself!
Subscribed! Finally a truely informative easy to understand 3d printing channel. Thankyou! I just got the sv01 today and is currently printing the test block.
Mine is still going strong!
Thank you very much for this video Joshua. Very helpful. Finally after week battle I am able to print :)
You're awesome
This is why I became a Patreon subscriber. I used to just superfund or whatever it is occasionally on the live streams but you are consistently hitting the mark with useful content. As always. Thanks Joshua.
And I got a Sovol for my birthday. Love how it prints.
Thanks! I just got one of these used, and it came with the new servo board and the BL touch in boxes. I was wondering how it all went together, and what I needed to do. Not afraid to tinker, but this video probably saved me a few hours of frustration!
i love your videos!! youve totally helped me to get my sovol sv01 working at peak performance!!! super great!!!!!!!!!!!
Installing a BLTouch today. I'd hate to attempt without your video. Thanks again!
12 min in.. I have a dlp printer.. dont plan on getting another.. still finishing the video. You better know I love you man! Nh
I find the Bltouch to be the most useful when switching built plate materials and tempuratures (which influences warping), that is by far the best use for it, then you can switch between polypropelyne, glass, stock, pei, metallic, and more. That allows you to print tons of materials easily.
You, sir, are A GOD! Thank you. I was just about to ditch my BL touch... I wish I saw this 3 months ago...
Excellent tutorial - exactly what I needed.
Your comment, take and replace a wire one at a time is good advice. Reminds me of a time in HS when we pulled the wiring harness OUT of an MGA to replace and then attempted to install the new harness. lol Classic comedy. Wipers would turn on a signal and a light, etc. lol
Thank you for this video, saved me a lot of time.
Thank God. When I get stuck on a 3d printing problem, I find myself wishing Bardwell could tell me how to do it.
One thing to add, Make sure you have your printer plugged into the computer to preform the update. IT WILL NOT WORK FROM THE MEMORY CARD!
Excellent step by step video, followed along every bit and had a successful upgrade. Thanks bud !
Great Video I had my BL Touch for my Sovol 01 a couple months now and was having problems setting it up. It wasn't as easy as it was on my Tevo Tornado and Ender3 Question I have now is how to change it to a 9 point Level from the 3 or where I can read on changing it. Like it is on my other printers. On my other printers all I have to do is put G92 in start code and that's it Thank You for any help
About 3 months ago I purchased a Kingroon KP3S because everyone said it just simply worked out of the box which is exactly what I wanted. It did exactly what they said and it gives excellent prints every time as long as I don't screw up of course. I just ordered the Savol SV01 as I wanted a larger printer for some things. The Savol SV01 had pretty all the things that I wanted in a printer. The only thing that I was disappointed in was the fact that it is only an 8 bit board which as far as I am concerned is unbelievable in 2021. But they list a 32 bit board that is plug and play but after watching this video I find out that is not true, at least at the time of this video. I am a retired Electronics Tech and even though I am a senior I am still very tech savy but I don't really have interest in messing with firmware code etc. I am not sure I will even bother now with the upgrade if the print quality is OK as is. I have no interest what so ever in auto bed levelling and if I can't manually level the bed I won't be printing any more.
I don't think I'll add auto-leveling but you have inspired me to do a silent upgrade for my Ender 3:)
Always watch to the end lol
"M104 S{material_print_temperature} ;Start heating extruder" is a bad choice, because some users tend to have a different layer 1 (or layer 0 in this case) temperature to fight adhesion problems. I would use "M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0}" instead.
Confirmed, I learned something! Thank you Mr. Bardwell. Was ready to order the SV01 but then I came across the Sidewinder X1. Did you consider that printer? Trying to decide between it and the SV01. Not as many reviews of the Sovol but that obviously does not mean it’s inferior. Thanks again for you high value content.
Thank you for this video ! It really help the noob that I am !
Love the BL Touch on my Artillery Sidewinder X1. Just bought a SV02 and getting ready to install the BL Touch to that too. For the naysayers mentioned, it’s like having anti-lock brakes for your car. I can drive without anti-lock brakes just fine, but I’d rather have them.
Very interesting and informative video. 🤓
Great video JB, used it to set up Marlin and my BL touch. Works great. I see that you have some 3D printed parts on your SV01. I was wondering if you might make a video about mods/additional upgrades and maybe a lessons learned about this printer? I’d love to hear about your experience with this printer thus far and anything you suggest we do to make it even better and what you’ve done so far to get the best tpu prints. Thanks and take care!
Kindly do the same upgrade video for ender 3 pro ie. Silent board and bl touch btw love the way u explained things in this video👍
Great video. Can we get access to the stl you used to do the mesh test at the end?
Thank You for this video! One hard part to understand was the download of the gcode, you opened it up on the browser and said “print it” and all of a sudden we’re looking at the eprrom. I guess we were supposed to copy the gcode to our mini usb drive and then open it up as a print? I finally got it. How would anyone be able to do this without this video? I’ll direct everyone I know to watch this, thanks again👍🏼😀
Nice one JB - need to do the silent upgrade but the BL touch walk though was good and easy to reference :-)
Keep up the good work and the flying #parhooners
Keep up the great content👍
Thanks for this video. It helped a lot.
Can I ask you where you got your fan duct model? I haven't found that one yet. Thanks
nice. i was .looking at putting a bl touch on my ender3. as for your adhesion problems, my missus hates me because I keep stealing her hairspray.. works a treat. she uses rave 3x hold hairspray from walmart. it has a scent but it's not too bad, i would recommend scent free stuff but w/e :D
I would assume different profiles for different materials, I usually level my bed if I'm gonna run abs instead of pla, differnt Temps warps the bed differently
JB, you questioned why one might have more than one mesh. I would imagine if you have 2 build plates, whether glass or whatever you’d have a different mesh for each. I plan to steal your Cura codes, THANK YOU for yet another great video!
I've received an SV01 but no BLTouch yet, meanwhile to get ahead I have been absorbing information about how to make it all work.
I had a couple of comments on your start gcode guide, which may or may not be right / relevant.
1. I've read somewhere that since bed heating is a lot slower than nozzle heating, and that since a hot nozzle can 'dribble' or void, it may be best to get the bed up to temperature before starting to heat the nozzle.
2. Given that the clearances are so fine, and some materials, especially aluminium, have quite a high coefficient of expansion, and things can distort slightly when expanding, I wonder if it would be better to let both get to temperature before doing the three point level.
So, maybe it could be (a) set bed temperature and wait, (b) set nozzle temperature and wait, then (c) do the three point level. Then continue. Don't know if that might have any advantages?
I also noticed you turned off the end stop with the soft end stop setting to get below the Z axis end point, but never turned it on again. Presumably you need to to avoid a future 'crash into the bed' - or maybe the turn off got cancelled automatically by some other command. Don't know.
You said you still have bed adhesion issues - I've read good things about Magigoo, though I see there are cheaper alternatives.
Keep up your excellent videos!
I am one of those folks who rarely needs to level, and was getting along just fine, until,.....
I like to push limits. And while trying to print .1mm layers, I was trying to push the speed up to 75mm/s on the first layer like I do for the rest of the layers. The majority of the print would work, but there were one or two spots that wouldn't stick, and it seemed to consistently fail at those spots. So I'm assuming that's bed warp. I remember seeing in one of your videos where you show a graphical view of your bed's warp. So the ability to compensate for that warp is why I'm now installing the BLTouch. It's running the mesh probe right now. One of the reason's I came to this video was to check the wiring. They include an instruction paper that showed the red/blue wires swapped from what was on the connector. So I swapped them according to the diagram, and it wouldn't boot. So then I verified from your video that yours were swapped according to the diagram, so I swapped it back and it works. Also, appears they corrected the height issue as I was able to install it without washers and did not bottom out.
A suggestion I have is to level after preheat. And that is likely why the firmware has multiple slots for bed mesh. That way you can have meshes that correlate to different temps. Especially for exotic materials that may be pushing your temp limits,.... like polycarbonate.
I see I failed to thank you for these videos. Thanks for the detailed videos. I re-watched several of them last night as I troubleshot issues. I am now able to print an initial layer at .1mm and 75mm/s( pla,,...not tpu). So far my octopus print is going well. It's several layers up. Could not seem to get the initial layer to finish previously due to all of the small footprints.
In reading, "M420 S" in your G code selects the last loaded mesh, so your next command with L0 is redundant assuming you're not changing meshes often. For me, I'm going to leave that selection to the machine( rather than L0 in Cura) so I can load them prior to printing if I end up developing temperature specific meshes. The M420 S command in the initial gcode would pick up the last one I load.
Something I started doing while tuning Z offset, is to measure the first "purge" line it prints with calipers. Of course, now that I'm writing this, I see that the Cura startup gcode is actually setting that line height to .28,....not .3 that I was assuming. My hope is that in getting z height/offset correct from a measurement standpoint, I can tune "squish" via extruder settings or line width without effecting model height accuracy.
Adding a BLTouch is never a bad idea. I have them on two out of three printers. My other one has an inductive sensor which has been working flawlessly me for years, but I wouldn’t recommend running them today.
I totally have a leveling paper that is just here to make sure there is clearance. I thought this was normal :D
I modified my bed adjustment screws to use locknuts. Since I did that, I only need to adjust the bed if I get a print really, really stuck on the bed, and accidentally tweak the level while removing the print.
My sv01 was not too bad about the glue...cr6se on the other hand lost about 8 pounds after the hot glue removal ceremony. so far cant get the bltouch and sv01 with a btt skr mini e3 v2 board to work together. cant seem to get the wiring right even though i looked it up and watched a dozen videos lol. stuck running a FW i made to get it working without bltouch as all the precompiled i found included it
Great video
Can u tell me which BLtouch you purchased. There seems to be a few of them. Thanks
FYI: TAKE A DAM PIC BEFORE TAKING ANYTHING APART!
man I wish I had as easy a time as you did with the glue
Hi, thaks for your video very usefull! I have a doubt... the board creality V2.2 which motor drivers use? I have seen on sovol site that the silent board is creality v2.2.1 but have installed the v2.2 on your printer... I'm a little bit confused because my printer is arrived with v2.2 board
Do you by any chance have some close up pictures of how you installed the bltouch onto the motor? Have been trying to get mine installed and have been failing horribly. The kit now comes with two different length screws and two washers but can not seem to make it fit where it should.
oh also noticed in another video you have a third printer now maybe a duel printer lol. Cannot wait to see the upgrade to the hotend blower and such to the Sovol and such lol.
hi Joshua I have been following you for a long time and you are the best❤️
I wanted to ask you something.
i updated and installed silent card and bltouch as in your video.
but now cura slicer no longer detects the printer and bltouch bon works.
it seems that the coverec firmware is not running well.
how can I do to reload the firmware in the card?
Going to set up octopi next? Best upgrade to the printer!
You have the silent board, now all you need is some Noctua fans, to make it super quite. And then of course a Raspberry Pie with OctoPrint to control both of your printers ;) One setup will control multiple printers.
Yea I’m getting a Pursa
THANKS !
You actually don’t need to add mesh load to the start gcode! There is an option im marlin source code for auto enabling it after homing, you just need to compile it by yourself(which is not complicated at all!) In addition, you also could reuse stored mesh after wach print (so you use bltouch only once in a while) just keep it saved in eeprom (you have it stored there anyway after first ubl)
Love BL touch, but, you can’t use them in heated enclosures. JB’s sure to cover the fascinating reason why in an upcoming video.
What is this green printer bed that is showing up in yout video with Sovol sv01? Is it on top of the original black glass bed or have you replaced the original?
10:58 "print a shiv or something" - JB lol
where did that parts cooling fan come from ? been looking for a alternative for my SV01 running a e3d v6 and bltouch
Good video. I like the ending - a nod to Ferris Bueller? :-)
Dude you *ROCK!!!* You helped with with the entire processes of both the silentboard and BL Touch... than you thank you thank you! You've earned another subscriber!
Are these machines now shipping with the silent board already installed? I can't tell from the website. Also, are they shipping with what they're calling the upgraded hotend kit? Seems like both of those should be standard by now, but I can't tell from the info on the website.
I want to buy one, but I need to be able to print flexible filaments, and I don't want the noise. I already have a noisy printer, and it is annoying.
Been waiting for your 3D printing journey. Order “My First” printer, Ender 3 a month ago. Still waiting for it to be shipped. I looked at the Sovol but they want to charge $189 for shipping. Hence Ender 3. Already ordered and received filament, BLtouch, SM dampers, glass bed. I will power it up and test print before any mods, just in case. Can not wait. But I have too.
i'm also waiting on my ender3 i should receive it today, but i bought it last week from creality themselvs. I was wonder about that, thank u , u answered my question about if i can get the BL Touch for my printer too!
I got a email from Creality saying they got new stock this week in the US. I ordered from China being in the UK. Stock due end of the week. Then the slow boat.
Interestingly, I ordered a replacement 1207 motor on 27 May from BG and it arrived today. The Gep will be back in the air very soon.
Hi, I love your Drone Videos.
But please install a Mks or (better) Skr Board in your 3D Printer. There you can install some real GOOD Stepper Driver instand the freaking A4988 (like TMC2208). Thats amazing stuff. Like changing old BL_heli_S ESCs to good Stuff.
All my respect for your work on Drones... (and i loved your Pizza Video too)
Good morning. I have a SOVOL SV07 PLUS. I want to modify the inductive sensor for BLtouch. the Hotend board is already a 5-way connector. outside gnd in 5v gnd can you let me know. Just connect the sensor or would I have to enable the sensor inside the marlin?
This is the exact upgrade I will be doing soon so this is an incredibly well timed and helpful video :)
can we get a pid tuning video for the hot end and bed ;)
11:49...oh how I felt that one!
Seein your rolls of material in the background makes me think you should make a video about storing filament correctly -> drybox.
Storing filaments is a bit big deal in allot of places where I am it's really dry. I have 2 year old tpu that prints just fine. But where I use to live to weeks and tpu would be useless have to dry before I used it.
hi it's possible to have a stl in the end to test ?
@Joshua Bardwell, in the video you say that you don't really know how much is it worth to have automatic bed leveling. This is to 3D printers what Smart Audio is to quads. Do you want to keep doing manual bed leveling? You must love finding ways of pressing that button buried in your stack... 'Nuff said.
I need those drivers for my ender.
Man thanks a lot! 😃
How do you think the SOVOL SV-01 compare to the Ender 3V2? Also, just from looking around, it looks like the SOVOL uses a lot of creality parts? Even this board states that it is for the ender 5/CR10 series creality printers? But as usually is the case, is this a 32bit or an 8bit board, does not clearly state?
I see you have replaced the bed? With what may I ask? :)
I notice you are using Painter's Tape to keep the glass to the heating bed. Have you found the tape getting 'loose' after a while, or overall, is Painter's Tape a good alternative to clips? Thank you.
I haven't found to to get loose.
Hi Joshua, I'm curious if this has happened to you (or anyone). I use my SV01 intermittently. For over a month, the BL Touch had no issues. I went about 2 weeks without using it and when I powered up to print something, I noticed it was printing in the air. After doing some digging, it looks like it forgot the Z-offset. I always power down the printer between uses since I rarely print every day and the settings were stored and reloaded, but then out of the blue, the were lost.
I'm just wondering if this was something like sun spots and planetary alignment causing a glitch, or is this something that happens for some other reason?
Is the bed on your printer a PEI sheet?
Joshua, great video. Just purchased the Sovol and ordered the BLTouch. Would you consider making a video for beginners to include, a walk-thru for using Cura, start of print, gcode, STL files, how to download prints from ThingyVerse etc....... The reasoning for the request, once I setup the printer and did the bed leveling, then it was, what the heck do I need to do to start printing my first project. I fumbled thru and got the xyz cube printed, which came out excellent, however, it would have been beneficial to have some direction. Thanks!! New subscriber!!
th-cam.com/video/LkH7K6iUTcM/w-d-xo.html
Got a link for thr 5015 cooling shroud?
I love my bl touch
I have a question. I have the Sv01 and I installed a CR touch. Will this work it? And I want to update my firmware as well..
Josh need your help, I got a bl touch and silent mother but when I try to update firmware to 2.0 from sovol, I don’t know much/ hardly anything about computers, I get no connection to printer, I followed your steps and it’s still saying no connection no matter what I do, I know I’m connected with usb because I can see it on devices when I plug and unplug it, is there something I have to down load to the laptop to send the firmware, I’m at a lost and frustrated
When I ran cold mesh my bed moves past the nasal I've tried it after moving the bed and it still moves to far. Its like the bed is too small .
That is true. you dont have to level THAT much (you still have to sometimes if you dont have good springs)... what you have to do tho is to adjust Z axis offset here and there. I have to do it approx. every two weeks. Then you replace the bed surface... Z axis offset calibration, replace the nozzle... Z axis offset calibration, doing something with hot end carriage? Z axis offset calibration.
BLTouch is not that hands off.
remove springs, add a solid spacer instead, never adjust Z axis unless you are touching something else that affects it
Link for silent board?
What are you using for a bed surface these days? Is that just glass?
14:40 and there was one other thing that was missed with this step. The PID auto tune using Pronterface needs to be performed for the hot end and the bed, otherwise neither of them will work after the factory reset.
Hi, i have install the silent board Yesterday, and i have a problem, the motor Is so hot (about 50 degrees Celsius), i asked to sovol for the correct vref value (1.18-1.20 for x and y, 1.58-1.60 for Z, and 1.38-1.40 for extruder). I have the same problem with stock board (about 40-45 degrees instead of 50). What Is the temperature of yours? Thanks, and Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian.
