Loading Filament into Inactive Extruder Throws Move out of Range Error

Hey all, I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour or not, but if I load filament into T0 or T1 without first making that the active extruder in the UI, then the extruder primes the nozzle where it is parked on the oozeguard (rather than moving to the purge position like it would if the extruder was active) and throws a move out of range error when it's done, putting the printer in a shutdown state. Is there a way to make RatOS switch active extruders if filament insert is detected in the currently non-active extruder to avoid this?...

Need Help Adding Synchronized Secondary CoreXY System Inside VCore 3.1

Full Story Hey everyone! I’m working on a super niche project and could really use your collective expertise. Imagine this: I’ve got a RatRig VCore 3.1-300 (which is amazing, by the way!), and I’m trying to integrate a smaller, custom CoreXY system inside its build volume. This secondary system uses the same CoreXY belt/pulley setup and routing as the VCore but has a smaller (250x250) area and no Z-axis—it’s purely for synchronized X/Y motion. Think of it like a "printer inside a printer" that needs to mirror the primary nozzle’s movements. Hardware Setup - BTT Octopus V1.1 F446 (Motor3/Motor4 unused, free endstop pins available and connected to PG10 and PG11)....

Update RatOs from 1.0

Hi, is it possible to upgrade a RatOs 1.0.0 to a recent version? Sorry for this stupid Q, but it seems un-seachable in the forum. Main reason for updating is the KlipperScreen "Python too old"... I think the the RatOs documentation expects a newer version - or at least i have troubles following the guide.... ...
Solution:
You have to flash the 2.1 RC image onto your SD card, you cannot update from 1.0.

Access password

I am trying to set a password to keep unauthorized users on the local network from being able to access the printer, and maybe I'm just being dense, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that. I searched the history here and nobody seems to have asked about it. Vcore4 running latest ratos release....

VAOC Camera Error while connecting

Hello 🙂 I had my VAOC camera up and running and everthing worked like a dream....untill.... I tried to add a second webcam to view the chamber while printing, this also worked, got an image but lost the image of the VAOC cam. I set everthing back to the original settings, so went back to the old settings in Crowsnest and now the VAOC camera will not work despite the fact that the Raspberry PI reckognizes the VAOC cam....

SSH Password

I 'm trying to log in on my network via SSH. I put in user name pi with the ip address and when it ask for the password I used the default raspberry but it will not logon. I know I did not change the password so does this mean I have to reinstall from the beginning? Is there another way?...

VAOC move out of range. x-offset too high

Hello, i have a strange new issue with the printer and i dont know why. I have the console output attached as well as my printer.cfg ...
Solution:
I resolved my issue. Apparently, RatOS is very particular about the relationship of the IDEX X end stops and the VAOC camera. I noticed that when I did a _VAOC_RESET then VAOC calibration, the initial position of both extruder nozzles was just about out of frame of the VAOC camera. I tried adding a thin shim on the plastic for the end stops and it made it worse. I have a Funssor gantry mount which I had to make a plastic filler to engage the end stops. I moved them away from the gantry center ab...

moving the points for z-tilt

hello, i am currently searching for the z-tilt variables. However, i dont want to do something faulty here. i guess the code in printer.cfg should be: ```[z_tilt] points: (point 1 x,y)...
Solution:
Ahhh thank you. That was what I was searching for. TBH it was 2 in one question. First of all if it is correct and 2nd how it is defined right now. This is the config for the 500: points: 30,30...

Out of Range Error T1

I keep getting out of range error on my VCore 4 500 IDEX on T1. It mostly happens when the print finishes but does happen during a print. Any idea on what is going on? If I only print on T0 I don't get the error.

extruder sensor transient zero problem

I had a very short duration bad reading from my extruder sensor, which caused a shutdown during a 2 day print. It may be caused by loose wire, etc., but really I just want to filter out bad readings for now. Its been suggested I use this: [temperature_sensor] type: temp_filter...

Error gcode_macro _START_VAOC:gcode

Hello everyone, I'm new and I recently purchased my first RatRig v core 4 500. I apologize in advance if my problem is trivial but I don't know where to go to solve it. I followed the configuration steps from the manual but it continues to give me this error when I try to calibrate the VAOC: Error evaluating 'gcode_macro _START_VAOC:gcode': jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'extras.gcode_macro.GetStatusWrapper object' has no attribute 'z_offset_probe'....

Expansion ports pins not being copied to RatOS.cfg using wizard (EXP1_1 etc)

In the wizard I selected btt-octopus-11. It has pin aliases defined for the Expansion ports but they where not copied by the wizard to RatOS.cfg. I had to manual add them to get Expansion ports working for my LCD screen.

BTT Octopus Pro v1.1 with BTT Pi v1.2.1, Getting 502 Bad Gateway error

Greetings All, I have a SecKit CoreXY printer that I want to upgrade to use the RatRig ecosystem on a BTT Octopus Pro V1.1 (H723) and a BTT Pi V1.2.1. I'm using 32 GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSD HC1 in both boards. Everything is brand new and never used until now. (Also bought their accelerometer board.) A friend of mine is running his Voron on the same boards and software, though I'm not sure what version of RatOS he began with....

expected probe state to be deployed but is stowed (1) on start of print

Just added the klicky to my RR 3.1 500 and the klicky does everything fine. Z home, z tikt, bed mesh, stow and deploy. When I print I get the above error after the inital home and heating before print, extruder moves to do the pre print blob and the error comes. The probe is infact attached as this point. I would of expected it to detect before it does the blob and I think that is the error...
Solution:
Solved it. There is a bug in the adaptive mesh "[gcode_macro PROBE_FOR_PRIMING]" line 105 - "{% set z = printer.configfile.settings.bed_mesh.horizontal_move_z|float %}" where it doesn't account for the probe z offset. The config for my machine has a horizontal_move_z set to 5 and my probe offset is also about 5. For my fix I added "horizontal_move_z: 10" to the [bed_mesh] section (add section if not there)

TMC Autotune and Sensorless homing

I am trying to configure TMC Autotune for Kraken v2 motors on X & Y. When Sensorless homing is configured, RatOS creates the X & Y includes with the following macro reference: [gcode_macro RatOS] variable_homing_x: "sensorless" variable_sensorless_x_current: 0.6957999999999999 ...

No Klipper updates in months?

Hi, I realized I havent seen a klipper update and subsequent MCU firmware update, in many months. I had an update fail a few months ago where I had to manually update MCU firmwares and I havent seen a Klipper update since.

VAOC calibration problems andc huge .zip files in config

Hi, i have a problem with going out of calibration of VAOC and z offsets. When i home printer i click on VAOC and all is fine, setting up where the nozzle would be and everything, but when i want to go out of calibration or do calibration endstop it give me a error out of range like on the image. It was working yesterday, i put same values to ratos-variables.cfg but still have errors. I was trying with commisioning and other guides, printer is custom but no changes to RatOS, only in configuration, like i said calibration was working, i start to have problems after first attempt to copy mode (it wont work, in single mode its ok.)...

Non-critical MCU for beacon

Hello everybody, is it possible to set up the beacon probe as a non-critical mcu? I am having an issue with my beacon where it loses signal with klipper and kills my prints. I have tested multiple beacons probes and usb cables with no success which leads me to believe it is a power issue. I tried changing the powered USB hub as well as directly connecting the USB to the rpi but the issue persists. Being able to let the beacon not be critical after first layer would be really helpful. Thanks for any help you can offer 🙂 I unplugged the screen and the camera while running the beacon directly off the rpi power to see if there is any change, its currently printing but it normally stops a few hours in....
