# 🚨 _One-Stop-Shop_ Sovol SV06 Klipper Configuration This branch contains the Klipper configuration and firmware for the **Sovol SV06** 3D printer with the **BTT SKR-Mini-E3-V3.0** motherboard. | Printer | Branch | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Sovol SV06 | [master](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/tree/master) | | Sovol SV06 Skr-Mini-E3-V3.0 | ✨**You are here**✨ | | Sovol SV06 Plus | [sv06-plus](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/tree/sv06-plus) | | All other printers | [any-printer](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/tree/any-printer) | 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. 🙏🏻🙌🏻 Big thanks to [transistor1](https://github.com/transistor1) for getting the `printer.cfg` up an running to begin with. ## Outline - [Installation Instructions](#installation-instructions) - [Electronic Wiring](#electronic-wiring) - [⚠️ Important Note About Stepper Motor Current](#important-note-about-stepper-motor-current) - [Download Firmware](#download-firmware) - [Flash Firmware](#flash-firmware) - [Download Klipper Configuration](#download-klipper-configuration) - [Initial Steps](#initial-steps) - [Directory Structure](#directory-structure) - [Support Me](#support-me) - [Useful Resources](#useful-resources) - [Sovol Official Links](#sovol-official-links) - [Sources](#sources) ## Installation Instructions ### Electronic Wiring Wire cables according to the following diagram: skr-mini-e3-v3.0 installation instructions ### Important Note About Stepper Motor Current For the SKR-Mini-E3-V3.0, the `run_current` for x, y, z stepper motors has been reduced in the `printer.cfg`, because the standard current seems to make the steppers dangerously hot. You may have to increase the current, or if the motors are still too hot, you may have to decrease it. 💡 Although stepper motors can withstand upwards of 125C, they should at the most get hot to the touch (~55C), not _very hot_. ### Download Firmware 💡 The firmware files are located in `misc/skr-mini`. 💡 Be sure to download the `raw` files. Find out more about this [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4604663/download-single-files-from-github); check the answer with the highest score. Download [klipper-USB.bin](./misc/skr-mini/klipper-USB.bin) compiled by BTT. Or you can download [klipper-v0.11.0-198-g33b18fd6-latest-UNTESTED.bin](./misc/skr-mini/klipper-v0.11.0-198-g33b18fd6-latest-UNTESTED.bin) that I compiled, however, it is **untested**. #### Alternatively, find instructions on how to build the firmware yourself [here](https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/tree/master/firmware/V3.0/Klipper#build-firmware-image). ls output ### Flash Firmware ⚠️ Make sure the microSD card has been prepared using the instructions found [here](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware#1-prepare-the-microsd-card-for-flashing-with-these-parameters). 1. Rename whatever firmware file you're using to `firmware.bin`. ⚠️ If the file is not renamed, the bootloader will not be updated properly. 2. Copy `firmware.bin` to the root directory of the microSD card. 3. Power off the printer. 4. Insert the microSD card. 5. Power on the printer. 6. After a few seconds, the skr-mini-E3-V3.0 should be flashed, but wait a full minute just to be sure. 7. You can confirm that the flash was successful, by running `ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/` or `ls -l /dev/serial/by-path/`. If the flash was successful, you'll see something like the following: ls output ### Download Klipper Configuration You can choose _either_ of the 2 following methods. #### Method 1: Clone the Repository 1. `cd ~/printer_data/config` 2. Empty entire `~/printer_data/config` folder. - In linux, you can delete files via `rm fileName` and directories via `rmdir directoryName`. 3. `git clone -b skr-mini-e3-v3 --single-branch https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware.git .` ⚠️ Don't miss the period! #### Method 2: Download the ZIP 1. [Download](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/archive/refs/heads/skr-mini-e3-v3.zip) the `ZIP` file containing the Klipper configuration. 2. See Step 2 in Method 1. 3. The parent folder in the `ZIP` is `Sovol-SV06-firmware-skr-mini-e3-v3`. This is relevant in the next step. 4. Extract **only** the _contents_ of the parent folder into `~/printer_data/config`. ## Initial Steps Once you've cloned or downloaded the configuration, please follow instructions found in [Initial Steps](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware#initial-steps). ## Directory Structure This repository contains many files and folders. Some are _necessary_ for this Klipper configuration to work, others are not. - **Necessary** items are marked with a ✅. - Items that can _optionally_ be deleted are marked with a ❌. ``` ├── cfgs ✅ │ ├── adxl-direct.cfg │ ├── adxl-rp2040.cfg │ ├── adxl-rpi-pico-2x.cfg │ ├── MECHANICAL_GANTRY_CALIBRATION.cfg │ ├── misc-macros.cfg │ ├── PARKING.cfg │ └── TEST_SPEED.cfg ├── CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md ❌ ├── CONTRIBUTING.md ❌ ├── .github ❌ │ ├── FUNDING.yml │ └── ISSUE_TEMPLATE │ ├── bug_report.md │ └── feature_request.md ├── .gitignore ❌ ├── images ❌ │ ├── cup-border.png │ ├── githubstar.gif │ ├── heart.gif │ ├── logo_white_stroke.png │ └── party_blob.gif ├── misc ❌ │ ├── M503-output.yml │ ├── skr-mini │ │ ├── klipper-USART2.bin │ │ ├── klipper-USB.bin │ │ ├── klipper-v0.11.0-198-g33b18fd6-latest-UNTESTED.bin │ │ ├── ls-output.png │ │ ├── menuconfig.png │ │ ├── README.md │ │ └── skr-mini-e3-v3.0-v1678580296384.png │ ├── sv06-buildPlate.png │ ├── SV06-buildPlate.stl │ └── SV06-texture.svg ├── moonraker.conf ✅ ├── printer.cfg ✅ ├── README.md ❌ └── .vscode ❌ └── settings.json ``` ## Support Me Please ⭐ star ⭐ this repository!
