🚨 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.

For the Sovol SV06 with stock hardware, please refer to the master branch.

For the Sovol SV06 Plus, please refer to the sv06-plus branch.

For all other 3D printers, please switch to the any-printer branch.

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.

⚠️ I am only 99% confident that this branch is production ready. Proceed with caution.

🙏🏻🙌🏻 A big thanks to transistor1 for getting this printer.cfg up an running to begin with.

Installation Instructions

Electronic Wiring

Wire cables according to the following diagram:

Download Firmware

💡 The firmware files are located in misc/skr-mini. 💡 Be sure to download the raw files. Find out more about this here.

Download klipper-USB.bin compiled by BTT.

Or you can download 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

Flash Firmware

⚠️ Make sure the microSD card has been prepared using the instructions found here.

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 skr-mini-E3-V3.0.
4. Insert the microSD card.
5. Power on the skr-mini-E3-V3.0.
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:

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. Unfortunately, for safety reasons I will not post this command here. However, in linux, you can delete files via rm filename.
3. git clone -b skr-mini-e3-v3 --single-branch https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware.git .

Method 2: Download the ZIP

1. Download 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.

Once you've cloned or downloaded the configuration, please follow instructions found in Initial Steps.
