2. Informació de seguretat

Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the Sovol SV04 3D Printer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the printer.

• Seguretat elèctrica: Ensure the printer is connected to a grounded power outlet. Do not operate with wet hands or in damp conditions. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or assembly.
• Superfícies calentes: The print nozzle and heated bed reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid touching these components to prevent burns. Allow components to cool before handling.
• Parts mòbils: Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving parts during operation to prevent entanglement.
• Ventilació: Operate the printer in a well-ventilated area, especially when printing with materials that may emit fumes.
• Manipulació de filaments: Use appropriate filament for your printer. Store filament in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
• Nens i animals de companyia: Keep the printer out of reach of children and pets. Adult supervision is required if children are present.

5. Configuració inicial

Before your first print, perform the following initial setup steps.

5.1. Actualització del firmware

It is highly recommended to download and install the latest firmware for the SV04 from the official Sovol website. This ensures you have the most up-to-date features and bug fixes.

5.2. Automatic Bed Leveling

The SV04 is equipped with an automatic bed leveling sensor to ensure optimal nozzle-to-bed distance across the entire print surface.

1. Navigate to the 'Leveling' menu on the LCD touchscreen.
2. Select 'Auto Level' to initiate the automatic bed leveling process. The sensor will probe multiple points on the print bed.
3. After auto-leveling, perform a Z-offset calibration if necessary to fine-tune the first layer adhesion.

5.3. Extruder Calibration

For optimal dual-color or dual-material printing, ensure both extruders are properly calibrated for alignment and extrusion.

• Refer to the included SD card for calibration models and detailed instructions on adjusting X and Y offsets for the second extruder.
• Adjust E-steps for each extruder to ensure accurate filament extrusion.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

This section covers basic operation, including filament loading and utilizing the various printing modes.

6.1. Càrrega de filaments

The SV04 supports a wide range of filaments, including PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, PC, PA, Wood, ASA, and PVA.

1. Col·loqueu la bobina de filament al portabobines.
2. Feed the filament through the filament sensor and into the extruder's input hole.
3. Heat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for your filament type.
4. Empenyeu manualment el filament fins que surti suaument del broquet.

6.2. Modes d'impressió

The independent dual extruders allow for four distinct printing modes:

• Mode únic: Uses one extruder to print a single model.
• Mode dual: Prints a single model using two different colors or materials.
• Mode mirall: Prints two mirrored copies of a model simultaneously.
• Mode duplicat: Prints two identical copies of a model simultaneously.

6.3. Using the LCD Touchscreen

The 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for controlling the printer.

• Navigate through menus using touch gestures.
• Access print files de la targeta SD.
• Monitor print progress, temperature, and other parameters.
• Adjust settings such as print speed, fan speed, and filament change options.
