Under extrusion on the corners, but PA is dialed in
Hey! Did several types of PA tuning and got the same result 0.02 for my ABS, but I’m getting like under extrusions on the corners, also there is seen gap on top layers between outer layer and infill/top fill. Any ideas?
Almost gaps in print
I am noticing some almost gaps & bad corners on my prints.
It is hard to see in black PLA.
Could this be a pressure advance setting? If so do I increase or reduce it?
Or a square corner velocity?
Currently I am using pretty much RatRig default PLA sliver settings on my AWD VC3.1...
Layer shift multicolor idex
Hey everyone,
I’ve got a V-Core 4 (500 mm, IDEX) and I’ve been going through the full commissioning guide. All calibrations check out ok— motion system, squareness, tramming, belts, etc. Everything prints good in single-extruder mode.
The only issue I’m hitting is when I try multi-color printing with IDEX: I get a layer shift in the X direction....
Massive random later shift after first layer
I just finished the physical build on my VC4 400 and after running through the calibrations I kicked off a simple test print. Every time it prints the first layer well then just randomly shifts a couple inches and attempts to print the second layer in a seemingly random location. The attached pictures are 2 attempts about 15 minutes apart.
My printer is far from being fully dialed in but I'm not sure what would cause this.
I'm running orca slicer and used one of the built in profiles....
Bad z-seam
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my print.
The Z-Seam is so bad and I don’t know how to fix it.
I’m printing with extrudr tpu 98a.

Calibration cube tuning
Just finished printing the calibration cube.
I'm amazed at the results, however I'd like to know what and how I should tune the printer/slicer now based on the cube.
The threaded bolt screws in a couple turns, however is quite stiff so immediately I think Xy compensation would be required....
Bad outer Surface quality with voids
I am suddenly experiencing print artifacts, that I have never seen before... it was all good up to this print, so I have no clue what could be causing it. I'll attach some photos, maybe someone knows what this could be.
If you need any other info, let me know 😉...
inconsistent first layer
after a lot of struggling I finally get a somehow function printer. I have huge trouble with the first layer. I calibrated the beacon. don't know what to do next it's a v-core4 500
Adhesion issue
I've done all the calibration, z offset, scoure pad soap clean, light fine sand paper, bed leveling, height map, magigoo, filament dryer, dehumidifier box reading 19 % etc etc and I get this happening. I've tried everything I can think of or find on the forums.
Infill is not supporting the print
Hey guys, I have a little problem here. Namely, the infill collapses in itself. Actually, it should be on the same level as the outer wall, but you can see in the pictures that it is collapsing.
I use a nozzle with a diameter of 0.8 mm and print PLA+ with 220°C at 25 mm³/s at 55°C print bed temperature. The infill pattern is triangles. Cooling at 100%. But I also have to save material. Do you have any suggestions for me?...
Print rather weak ( i can easily squish it. And top layer looks bad
Vcore 3.1 stock with beacon. What could this be. The walls are fine. The infi just doesnt really want to adhere super well. And the top layer looks really bad
beacon calibration
Can't seem to get good first layer lines. I've ran the beacon calibration multiple times. I've retightened the belts and made sure both sides of the gantry touch the end stops at the same time.
I also noticed that Beacon scan compensation is disabled.
Could that be my issue?...
Overhang problem
Hello,
i'm out of ideas what's the problem.On overhangs the outer line wraps up and for this the outer radius looks terrible..The rest looks good to me.Don't know how I can solve this problem..V-Croe 3.1 400 enclosed,ASA 250°C ,Bed 115°C ,Chamber 55°C.20% part cooling fan starts on 3rd layer fan is the Sanyo Denki 4028 .Flow multiplier 0.9. Slicer is orca.. Outer perimeter speed 60mm/s. Have somebody an idea, please.....
Artifacts? Too much jerk?
Unsure exactly problem. Print quality is not great. Flow, pressure advance first layers all good. Height shows wavey layers and artifacts. See picture. Any suggestions?
Poor Top Layer
I have a VCore 4 500mm Idex. I finally got decent first layers, but am having issues with the top. The bottom left corner of the larger print did lift from the bed a little. However, that does not explain what is happening in the middle. This is PETG filament.
IDEX retraction and flowrate?
I've been trying to tune my machine for a while now, it's now printing pretty good on each toolhead black petg-cf and regular petg in pink, both park benchys look pretty good to me. 0.16mm, 4 Walls, 4 bottom/top layer 5% infill -> 35min
I don't understand why the idex print looks so bad though! Z offset as well as XY offset look good to me and seem to work great,
but it seems that retracion and flowrate are terrible?

First Layer progessively gets too close VC4 500
This just recently started, never seemed to be an issue until the past week or so. The nozzle slowly creeps to close to the bed as it goes, to the pont that the nozzle is scraping the bed fully and depositing nothing.
I have tried to re-slice things, used an older file, cleaned the nozzle, nothing seems to help. I haven't messed with any settings or hardware from previous when it was working fine. New heightmap and calibration did not help either....
