This repository contains the Klipper configuration and firmware for the Sovol SV06 3D printer with completely stock hardware.
I am creating these files for my personal use and cannot be held responsible for what it might do to your printer. Use at your own risk.
- 💥 This Klipper configuration is an endpoint, meaning that it contains everything that you could possibly need in order to have an excellent Klipper experience! 💥
NEW
Filament runout sensor usage implemented.- Minimum configuration settings for Mainsail/Fluiddpi to work.
- SuperSlicer config bundle that contains the printer configuration, as well as what are considered by many to be the best print settings available for any FDM printer (Ellis' SuperSlicer Profiles). Find the differences between the different print setting profiles here. But basically, the 45 degree profile places the seam at the back.
- Bed model and texture to use in SuperSlicer/PrusaSlicer.
- Macros
- Improved mechanical gantry calibration/
G34
macro that provides the user audio feedback, and time to check the calibration. - Misc macros:

. - Parking macros (parks the printhead at various locations):
PARKFRONT
,PARKFRONTLOW
,PARKREAR

macro working. - Add information about directory structure.
- Create FAQ section.
- Get filament sensor working with hotend PCB.
- Finalize filament sensor config and merge into

. - Create topic in Discussion section detailing how users should keep this repository in sync with their own Klipper config using
git
. - Explain

extruder behaviour. - Integrate KAMP (Klipper Adaptive Meshing and Purging).
- Add
BEEP

.
I work on this repository all the time and a lot of new features are coming. Watch releases of this repository to be notified for future updates:
- Know what you're getting into by reading this documentation fully!
- There is an assumption that you are connected to your host Raspberry Pi via SSH, and that your printer motherboard is connected to the host via USB.
- Klipper must be installed on the host Raspberry Pi for everything to work. Easiest is to use a FluiddPi or MainsailOS image.
- Your question has probably been answered already, but if it hasn't, please post in the Discussion section.
- If you see any errors, or encounter any issues, please create an Issue, or a Pull request.
- I would recommend searching for the word
NOTE
in this repository. There are roughly half a dozen short points amongst the various files that you should be aware of if you're using this configuration.
💡 If you have already flashed klipper onto your motherboard in the past, you can skip this step
- Copy
klipper.bin
to a MicroSD card and rename toanyNewFilename.bin
. - Make sure the printer is off.
- Insert MicroSD into printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait a minute (usually takes 10 seconds).
- Turn off printer and remove MicroSD.

anyNewFilename.bin
in this example) is different from previous flashing procedure. The .bin
is also important.
You can choose either of the 2 following methods.
cd ~/printer_data/config
- Empty entire
~/printer_data/config
folder. Unfortunately, for safety reasons I will not post this command here. However, in linux, you can delete files viarm filename
. git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware.git .
- Download the
ZIP
file containing the Klipper configuration. - The parent folder in the
ZIP
isSovol-SV06-firmware-master
. This is relevant in the next step. - Extract only the contents of the parent folder into
~/printer_data/config
.
- Find what port the
mcu
(SV06 motherboard) is connected to vials -l /dev/serial/by-id/
. - Adjust the
[mcu]
section inprinter.cfg
accordingly.

❗☠️ Power off if there is a collision/problem ☠️❗
💡 I recommend no filament be loaded for any of these steps.

The printer will beep upon:
- Filament runout.
- Filament change/

Make the following changes according to your needs. All beeping will be disabled except during gantry calibration.

My filament runout sensor works, but I just started a print without any filament loaded. What gives?
A simple runout sensor can only detect a change in state. So, if you start a print without filament loaded, the printer will not know that there is no filament loaded. You should test your sensor by having filament loaded, starting a print, then cutting the filament. The expected behaviour is that the print will pause, and as long as you have beeping enabled, you will hear 3 annoying beeps.
