Sovol SV06 Dual 5015 upgrade Instruction guide | 'Crustacean Nation Ventilation Station'

Okay, thank you for Michael W from the FB group for the name "Crustacean Nation Ventilation Station", lol. We finnally here, the dual 5015 part cooling fan upgrade for sovol sv06.
The hanging on the back is inspired by Scattered Collectables 5015 part cooling duct, which is best solution for mount location for this printer so far.

This design is not nearly perfect yet. I would like to call it Guinea pig version. There are still a lot room for improving. I will continue working on this, if you are patience enough, just wait for my update. Also this is for someone that want to print high speed and some crazy overhang model, it is not necessary upgarde for everyone. If you are beginner, please take serious consideration.

This development process takes long time, initial design, test print, revising, test print again, revising again, testing on machine. Figuring out the tolrance, strength, style, and more…(Kills a lot of my brain cells) Finally a okay version is here, like I mentioned there still room for improving.

Con at this point:
You will lose around 6mm on the left of the x axis, 10mm on the right. The homing postion will be change!

Dual 5015 are very loud. I can hear it from other room with door closed..

fan duct design still not perfect. On the rear right of the nozzle still not enough air flow.

You will need to change the sensorless homing from the printer.

If you have questions, suggestions, commons you can leave it here. I usually replay very quick.

I'm excited to see where this model will go in the future. Perhaps eventually it might not make the printer lose those millimeters of space?
We will continue to watch your career with great interest. 👍

Hello, excellent guide and a really cool model to boot! I just installed it on my SV06+ and have a couple notes:

This model does not affect my homing distance, but be careful not to lower the duct on top of a part on the bed. I'm still getting used to Klipper, and snapped a duct off. A little Super Glue got it back together, and I'm printing a new one.

Also, if you have an SV06+, you will want to use two M3x30 screws to attach the print to the hot head. The M3x25 were not long enough to mount it securely.

This is a heavy weight solution. I only installed one 5015 blower from behind.
That's enough and I can see the nozzle from the front.
There are also no problems with the width when homeing.

Hello. Just found this. Last weekend I designed a very primitive dual 5015 blower bracket for the SV07plus. It's up on Printables. It's not pretty, but it seems to be working. Wondering if you were having a similar problem as this: when I tried a PETG print, it quickly became apparent that the parts fan cooling profile needed some editing for that filament. Particularly, when doing overhangs on inside turns, that excess cooling will cause the filament to shrink very quickly and pull out threads on the insides of turns. Found this by printing S-hooks. Working now to tune the parts fan speeds for the PETG profile.

Hi,

If you have overkill cooling you can use it at 50% which should make it a lot quieter.
Also if you use inserts you can make the rear setup thinner because you don't need the space for the nuts.
I watched this without sound, so i don't know if you talked about it.
You can save ~5mm that way.

If you want to keep the nuts, perhaps you can split the rear fan mount in halves. Then you can insert the nuts, and connect the two halves together, eith superglue maybe.

The fan is also not heavy so perhaps it doesn't need an m3 bolt and nut Perhaps a short wood screw is enough and then you can save some more space. The wood screw would bite into the casing of the fan itself. And then the fans can be mounted against eachother.

I would split the two fans into dedicated dual ducts at an angle to hit from the four directions i.e. left fan if you are looking at a square does upper and lower left with the nozzle in the middle and right does right upper and lower and position them so they cross like and x and gap between left and right is open so you can see the nozzle still. The fans are overkill, This will balance out the direction flow as you are pitting the duct against each other, and will give you nearly 360 degree coverage. Right now there is a decent single fan solution that pushes good air on its own and does essentially the same thing so if you are going this step, I would also consider making the further ducts to the front corners slightly smaller in diameter to force the air to move slightly faster to balance out the loss of pressure from exiting the first duct at rear corners as well.

Any reason you used an asymmetrical design on the air nozzles? I tried modifying it to use the "closed" side on both sides and I've gotten better overhang performance in certain orientations.

Hello, how are you? I'm having a problem with my sv06. When laminating the projects in Prusa, the objects are centered but for some reason when printing they are very far back from the bed. In some cases, if the print is large, they are on the outside, they are not centered as expected. You see on the computer screen that when the prints are finished the bed moves to the front so much that the motors make noises, how can I correct that?

[David-wdet]

Any updates on this. Has anybody remixed this so it doesn't limit movement. This is my first 3 printer but I'm ok with modifying hardware and doing this but thinking about just buying th3d. The Th3d one is over 70$ Canadian with shipping! If i go with a print then can someone suggest a brand of 5015 24v fan

[ZXCeez]

Would you be able to keep the front cooling fan for extra cooling?

[jailsonsouto]

Hi! Great job! It's is possible share fusion 360 files? I want to remix to sovol sv06 plus.
Thanks in advance!

I don t know what kind of printheads for sv06 are available atm but it seems to me that it s much more worth it going for already tested printheads like hero me then doing something like this. Double 5015 should have much better impact then in this model. In water test you can barely see impact of fans which tells me that air is flowing in wrong direction. SV06 printhead is already so massive that I adding more parts on it just makes everything more clunky. Honestly I like that you put effort in it and tried something new but design of sv06 printhead doesn t look like it allows upgrades. I would rather just strip everything down and design everything from start and maybe implementing some sovol ideas.

[bertkooijmans]

This is the same for the sv06 plus right?

[rasne]

Man...my SV06 stress prints look way better using the OEM setup than yours. Maybe your settings are off.
