SV06 Plus Extruder common issue and maintenance guide

The pinch screw, set screw on extruder gear set was found loose over time and cause problem. This is one of the known issue for this extruder design across SV06, SV06 Plus, and SV07.
Luckly, my sv06 plus didn't have loosen set screw like it did on SV06. But it just something that you will want to check it out. There are many disassembly and parts involved, I thought it would be helpful if there is a video could help beginners.

Many people may disagree that you should not put threadlock on this tiny pinch screw. CUZ you will never be able to remove it again. But, there are cases that it got loosen again over time after people tighten it. Since the spur screw it located at encounter fast speed rotation and vibration. But you decide whether to put threadlock or not.

On the SV06 plus (unsure on the SV06), you can access the set screw by removing the tensioner screw and pulling back the tensioner lever. Then you can move the extruder wheel until it lines up. There's plenty of room to remove the set screw and add the Locktite that way. No need to take apart the whole extruder assembly.

Excellent explanation! As a data point: the extruder I ordered on August 9th 2023 got here September 18 and had two set screws, no discernible thread locker from the factory.

Thanks bro! This is an excellent video. Much appreciation from west coast USA. Your English is very good.

[mitchell]

YES! You fixed my filament slipping problem, thank you so much!

Actually happened to me once. One day the grub screw became so loose, that it started to scrape interior wall of the extruder, producing fine metal shavings, frightening noises and absolute horror in my soul, eventually completely blocking the extruder. I took 5-10 minutes to figure out the cause and put everything back in working order. Luckily no irreparable damage was done)

Excellent work thanks. My heat block is oozing, but watched your video becasue it was so good ! Liked comment "Why sovol, why ?".

[rory]

thanks for the walkthrough. just followed the video and found that on mine, the bolts that connect the heatsink to the extruder stepper motor didn't have any washers at all!. and I don't have any that fit. so that sucks

[thefishstick]

Great video! Sadly, it did not fix my dispensing issue but still learned a lot! Ended up just ordering a new one.

Just took apart my sv06+ today and on mine the gear came with 2 screws. Seems like they listened. I got mine around october.

Very useful video mate with clear instructions 👍

Thanks for the detailed video! This is helpful!

@SavageLau My SV06 plus arrived with 2 grub screws and it appears there was some white thread locker on both already. It appears Solvo has gone back to the original design to avoid the issues. I would also add that the bearing, the one before the spur that the grub screw goes into, seems pressed on and I could not remove it. If you have 2 grub screws you may want to forgo this procedure as it appears there is locker on there already and it is not easy to remove the thread locker to reapply which is what I had to do.

What is your recommendation for extruder tension? I recently took my filament tensioner off my printer to correct issues with filament not loading, but since I did that I'm not sure how to tell if I have proper filament extruder tension.

I appreciate your SV06 content. Can you make a video with essential mods to print for SV06?

[charlesvrogers]

Hi. Have you used the "Sovol Klipper Screen for SV06/SV06 Plus" yet? I would like to know what you think of it. Thanks

My SV06 has been giving me a differnt issue with the extruder. I can easily run the filament wheel after I disable the steppers, but it gets locked up during the print. Instead of smoothly spinning around, the filament wheel vibrates back and forth like its jammed. Opening up the extruder gear set showed now signs of wear and tear which makes sense as it has never printed anything yet. Any tips?

[shadowolf]

happened that out of the factory those are VERY loose, to the point of calling them defective, even on the plus series which had 2 screws they were both loose and full of grease all over, out of the box by the way!
