#Upgrade SV06 Extruder

Hello guys,
I own a sv06 printer that I'm trying to push the print speed up the max I can.
Currently if I go over 120mm/s I have too many failures during print and the quality degrades significantly. I have it grease, calibrated and working perfect, but I think my limitation now is the max flow I can extrude from the stock extruder.
Based on my math I don't think I can have a flow high enough to push 250mm/s which is my goal.
I'm questioning if I missed some calibration to speed it up or if I shoukd upgrade the 3xtruder to something that would allow me more flow.
I do have the sv06 plus high flow hotend, but it will required me to redraw the Nautilus cooler to fit on the sv06 with the sv06 plus hot end and I was thinking why not just upgrade the whole part?
Any help would be appreciated.
Ps.: I already completed all the steps on Ellis print tuning guide. And I dry my filaments.

AI Help

It sounds like you have already done a lot of troubleshooting and are considering upgrading your extruder to improve flow rates for higher print speeds. Upgrading to a higher flow extruder may indeed be necessary to achieve your desired print speed of 250mm/s. Before making any upgrades, you may want to double-check your slicer settings to ensure they are optimized for higher speeds and confirm that your printer's hardware components can handle the increased speeds as well. If you decide to upgrade your extruder, make sure to choose one that is compatible with your printer model and has good reviews for high-flow applications. Good luck with your 3D printing endeavors!

Volumetric Flow

Volumetric flow rate is the way we measure the amount of material that our hotends can melt per second.

Typically we use the unit mm³/s or "cubic millimeters per second".
Pictured below are some typical values of the max achievable volumetric flow rates on commonly used hotends. These values are given as a range because they depend on a variety of other factors such as type of material, extrusion temp, nozzle size and geometry. In practice, achievable volume may differ from these marketing values.

To understand why these values are important and to make use of them you should understand the simplified formula for calculating the volumetric flow rate:

line width [mm] • layer height [mm] • speed [mm/s] = volume [mm³/s]

You'll likely need another cooling duct

oh haha

#

stock hotend you won't get above 12 cubic mm/s which yeah is around 120 - 150 mm/s

#

depending on layer height

#

you will have to upgrade the hotend to increase the flow rate - much easier to just get an sv06 plus extruder, though. so many people have busted it trying to take out the hotend

#

you can also just use nuts to extend the melt zone though

🙈 that is pretty much it

#

limits are hotend flow, and the anemic stock 4010 layer fan

#

replace those, should be better

I can take the hot end out just fine, I've tried fitting the sv06 plus hotend multiple times, but when I do it I runf into the cooling ducts issue, because it won't fit, and I need a bigger screw for the bed sensor hehe, do you think the sv06 plus is enough?

#

The quality of it looks like I can use these docks on the Nautilus fan holder

proven prairie
#

you are insistent on nautilus ?

#

quadro is generally better in every regard

#

also just replace the probe mount, there are several better options. it will have to be extended anyway

#

fwiw that part i linked was made by someone with an 06 with 06+ hotend exactly like what you're trying to do

#

I have the 06 plus, can get 300 alright, I keep to 200 and 20 max cross for general quality since I lost my old orca profile and haven't returned for the right max speeds

#

@proven prairie Not insistent on Nautilus no, I just really like the position for the fans closer to the extruder, but you are right, there is no reason nto to replace it.

#

@shut nacelle nice, that's what I'm trying to achieve, will give it a try

#

@proven prairie one thing that actually happened to me once was the klipper z stop failing, the nozzle hit the bed so hard it bended. I was able to bend it back, but of course it was never the same. I bought a new extruder anyway and just replaced the whole thing

Thanks for the help guys, I will update once I get things going

Will do! 🙂
