Hey all,

For those who own a SV08, what kind of mods did you install on your printer?

Secondarily, does anyone have a multi toolhead mod? I’m not quite sure whether I should go with the INDX way or use OG toolheads.

Happy to hear your thoughts!

    The prints are shinier so I guess there’s a better heat flow in the hot end, especially at higher speeds.

    But my goal was mostly to replace the stock hotend with a well known and well regarded design.

    The stock one has a flaw with PETG, I’m not sure if it’s the material or the temperatures but it makes the nozzle creep down. Very slowly at first, leading to bad looking or failed prints and horrible first layers and constant z-offset fiddling, until it suddenly and very forcefully and catastrophically drives itself through the build plate or the print.

      I was under the impression that the PETG flaw with the stock hotend was resolved a couple of months after the printer was released, and anyone with an affected nozzle was eligible for a free replacement (which basically includes an extra grubscrew to hold everything in place). My nozzle was definitely different to the ones I saw photos of after they’d popped apart.
