Sovol SV08 Eddy Encoder Upgrade

Does NOT work with the MAX

The MAX's toolhead PCB does not have the same connections this uses. My OEM one failed and unfortunately SoVol doesn't sell the sensor alone, you have to buy the full toolhead, which is out of stock. This listing, at the time of purchase, said it's compatible with the Max but that is false. The MAX doesn't have the 3.3v pin needed to power it, and it's iffy if that same 5 pin mini-jst connector was correct. The instructions, both printed and digital included on the USB drive, do not state this is for the MAX, only the base model SV08. Why this shop decided it did is beyond me, and the Q&A section seemed to imply it's compatible but reading the fine print it's a general comment about the sensor on the max, not an explicit statement that this sensor works on the max. But from SoVol themselves, this part is only for the base model SV08.
