Guidebook To:

Constructing Sovol’s Top-quality 3D printer

This guidebook is for Sovol’s SV02 3D printer.

Select the correct input voltage to match your local mains

(220V or 110V).

Please plug the power cord into a three-hole power jack.

Detailed instructions for use are available on the SD card.

Notes

Do not use this machine in any way other than described herein. Failure to do so may result in personal

injury and/or damage to property.

Do not place the printer near any heat source or flammable or explosive materials. We suggest placing it

in a well-ventilated, low-dust environment.

Do not expose the printer to violent vibration or any unstable environment, as this may cause poor print

quality.

Before using experimental or exotic filaments, we suggest using standard filaments such as ABS or PLA to

calibrate and test the machine.

Do not use any other power cable except the one supplied. Always use a grounded three-prong power

outlet.

Do not touch the nozzle or printing surface during operation as they may be hot. Keep hands away from

machine while in use to avoid burns or personal injury.

Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating the printer. Such cloths may become tangled in the

printers moving parts leading to burns, possible bodily injury, or printer damage.

When cleaning debris from the printer hotend, always use the provided tools. Do not touch the nozzle

directly when heated. This can cause serious burns and injuries.

Clean the printer frequently. Always turn the power off when cleaning, and wipe with a dry cloth to

remove dust, adhered printing plastics or any other material off the frame, guide rails, or wheels . Use

glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to clean the print surface before every print for consistent results.

Children under 10 years of age should not use the printer without supervision.

1. Carefully remove all parts from the box

and remove any tape or padding from them.

a. Inspect each component and ensure

nothing was damaged during shipment.

Gantry

Base

2. Install the gantry frame (A) to the base frame (B)

a. On the gantry frame, make sure the nozzle assembly is to the front, and

the long vertical lead screw is to the back. On the base frame, make sure

the black belt cover is on the front, and the stepper motor is on the back.

b. Use the M5x25 screws (4) and lock washers (4). Lift the base frame.

Install the screws through the base frame into the threaded holes in the

gantry frame. Tighten with the M5 hex key (Allen) wrench.

3. Installation of the filament spool holder.

a. Secure the filament holder using two M4*8 screws and

T-nuts. Loosen the t-nuts by hand and align them so

they will fit inside the grooves of the frame. It is

essential that the nuts are loose so that when you

tighten the screws, the nuts will rotate 90° and grab

onto the inside of the groove of the extrusion.

b. Align the round cylinder through the hole of the

filament plate. Turn the large nut to lock in place.

4. Installation of the Z-axis limit plate.

a. The Z-axis limit switch board is installed at the lower

left of the gantry, and the installation method is the

same as that of the filament bracket.

5. Touch Screen Display installation.

a. Attach the bracket to display with M3x4 screws (4)

b. Mount the touchscreen to the front right side of the

frame with M4x6 screws (2) and T-nuts (2).

The Y cables go to the motor and

switch at the back of the base frame

that move the build plate.

The Z cables go to the motor and

switch on the left side of the base

frame that raise and lower the nozzle.

The X cable is connected to the

motor and running belt switch

Tip: Try not to bend the

pin connectors as you push

them in. Pay attention to the

working voltage of your

machine

*Plug the power cord into a

2. Feeding Filament

Press and hold the extrusion clip, insert the filiment from the

inlet to the position with red line above the small pneusmatic

connector.

Tip ： How to Replace the Filament ？

1. Preheat the nozzle.

Push and hold extruder arm and feed 5-10mm of filament

by hand, then quickly withdraw the filament.

Using this method helps to avoid pulling liquid filament

through the PTFE tube, potentially causing clogs.

1. Tighten the four levelling nuts at the bottom of the platform before

initial levelling.

2. Select Settings→Levelling, click on the number ②

3. Adjust the platform height by turning the knob underneath. Use a piece

of A4 paper (standard printer paper) to assist with the adjustment,

making sure that the nozzle lightly scratches the paper.

4. Complete the adjustment of the screw on all 4 corners.

5. Click the number ① to test whether the middle gap of the platform is

suitable.

6. Repeat above steps 1-2 times if necessary.

7. Slight adjustments can be made while brim

or first layer is printing.

Pro Tip: If the hot bed is not perfectly level

and adjusted, the Z axis compensation

function can be used when printing the first

layer to get a perfect first layer.
