This is my Sovol SV05 custom build project. I own a BLV MGN printer and wanted a smaller version as a second printer. I dubbed this printer "Termite".
Assembly:
- Follow Step 1 of the Sovol manual (pay attention to the note to orient the hole at the top)
- Remove the wiring duct
- Cut a piece of 1/4"/6 mm thick material to 13 1/2" x 16" (I used a piece of plexiglass from the local big box store)
- Slide the back wall in place between the rear corner posts
-
Install two printed corner braces at the front lower corners
-
Install two printed corner braces at the side rear corners

- Install the top structure following Step 2 of the Sovol manual
-
Remove the top bar with "Sovol" on the front
-
Using the printed parts, install it 70 mm above the bottom bar, inline with the top of the corner braces
-
Install the printed top corner caps
