Add Sovol SV07 Plus to Cura Slicing Software Tutorial

Setting Up The Sovol SV07 Plus in Cura

Sovol recently released their SV07-Plus 3D Printer and it’s faster than the SV06-Plus but it’s using the Bed-Sling design. What does this mean? Basically, you need to do some manual tuning and preconfigured leveling before printing.

The chatter on the web between the SV06-Plus and SV07-Plus is a bit back and forth. Personally, when it comes to the setup process, I prefer the SV06-Plus. It was just easier. Pros and cons, the SV07 and SV07-Plus come with WiFi and the Klipper software which is loved by many. I was fine with using Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi and I didn’t care much for the extra time it took to level the SV07-Plus. The 6 had auto-leveling and it was easy.

More tests need to be run before deciding on the better option. I still need try and install Klipper on the SV06-Plus using a Pi but that will be at a later date.

For now, I’ll provide the basic configuration process for adding the SV07-Plus to the Latest Cura Software.

Sadly, Sovol only provides a modied version of Cura that contains configurations for the SV07-Plus on Windows
