Sovol sv08

Finally got it out of the box, setup, explore the new features, amazed at those, and the extreme exhaust fan noise.

So what do I do with this monster that I couldn't do with my ender 3? yup bag clips.

I replaced the idiotically loud motherboard fan with a 24V 40/10 Noctua. It needs slightly longer screws than the stock ones but otherwise it's a drop in replacement. Noise levels are much more acceptable now.

I've been doing some light research and i think it's possible to run the stock fan slower and turn it off when not printing, but it's unclear whether i'd have to plug the fan into a different header or not.

Because the full info is in a private facebook group :bleugh:

Is it running Klipper or something else?

In Klipper I have my controller board fan set to speed up only when there’s any active heaters or stepper drivers?

E.g. fires up only when moving/heating or printing but not when idle. Even then it’s set to a reasonable 80% threshold.

It has klipper but not mainline klipper, looking at some firmware updates that might automagically fix this. gotta confirm what I currently have.

Here’s what that looks like for me. Basically a controller_fan configured to kick off with the steppers.

Thanks, so in sv08's case, I'll have to open the bottom and plug the fan into another header before updating printer.cfg just like your example.

The firmware update is a .deb file, I know this, it's a unix debian system!
