How do I set up my file for the Sovol SV08?

Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Sovol SV08 and Sovol SV08 PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.

Which build plate should I use?

Sovol SV08 PLA sets a bed temperature for each plate:

  • Textured PEI plate: 55 °C
  • Smooth PEI plate: 65 °C
  • Cool plate: 35 °C
  • Engineering plate: not supported
  • SuperTack plate: 45 °C

Why is my PLA stringing?

Try 5 to 10 °C below the 220 °C that Sovol SV08 PLA sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).

Where do these values come from?

From the profiles OrcaSlicer ships, read at OrcaSlicer v2.4.2 (8500fcd). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
