  • I watched a few videos on adjusting flow rate and ended up checking my e steps and they were quite a bit off. After fixing that I did a single wall cube to test flow rate and the measurements were right on.

    I printed my test piece again and it is way better. I did slice this one in the regular Cura and not the Solvo version since that’s what I was using to generate the flow tests but I had all the settings pretty much the same.

    Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions! I will be tweaking my flow and support settings a bit more I’m sure but for now I’m happy with the result


  • I did do a temp tower test and found a good temperature. I did try running through the auto bed leveling on the SV06 as well and it didn’t change anything. I have read other methods of bed leveling that are better for the SV06 so I may give those a try too.

    I can definitely see the advantage of sticking with one brand of filament. Being new I kind of assumed PLA is PLA but there has been a noticeable difference between the two that I have tried



  • Thank you for the information! I did do a temp tower and the layers do look similar but there seemed to be a sweet spot with less sagging and stringing at 200C so I’m printing there. I have not done a flow tower so I will try that and see if I can get the flow calibrated, and re-do my z-offset and bed leveling stuff.

    I am very new to 3d printing (less than a month) so I’m still trying to figure out all the things I can troubleshoot. This is very helpful!
