Turbulence after corners
Hi team,
Have an issue where there’s shadows or turbulence after the printer turns a corner. Is this a IS or too high accel issue? Are their tests I can run to try and nail down the issue?

Problem with TPU
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my rat rig v core 4 500 0.6 nozzle, when I print the tpu the first print does it without problems while when I send the second one a jam occurs inside the nozzle and it no longer extrudes the filament.. can anyone give me some advice? thanks
ASA Warping issues
Right know i need some Parts Printed out of ASA but i am having some Big Problems with Warping
Any help is welcome...
Prints began to look bad
I've been printing perfectly for a few weeks but recently I noticed I began having issues with infill looking strange and lines looked "wobbly" and now when printing a higher object I noticed the Z stacking is terrible. You can really feel how they don't stack straight.
Any ideas?...
Hybrid 500 bad top layer
Hi,
my v-core 4 500 hybrid (0.6 nozzle) is still giving me problems.
Coming from a warped bed, rusting rails, a replaced heat bed over a dead EBB to not being able to print properly.
I am currently using orca slicer. Settings attached. I am trying to print a few small test pieces. Left one is with 3 top layers and 25% overlap, right with 4 and 30%. Filament is sunlu ABS red.
What am I missing? Pretty sure it is something simple but I have been so distracted with troubleshooting over the last couple of months I literally can't find it. Hence this post, hoping for some help from the community 🙂...
Installed a Bozzle, started getting a weird new vfa
So:
V-Core 3.1 300, RR Toolhead w/ beacon, rapido2, orbiter 2
-Speed independent: They appear to be spaced the same distance at 50mms and 200mms.
-Happens as 1000mms² and 4000mms² exterior perimeter accel....
Internal solid infill issue
I’m printing this case and it has a few layers of internal solid infill. This issue has popped up and it was worse before I decreased the print speed. Should I continue to decrease the speed for this infill until it fixes it or is there another solution?
Using V-core 4 hybrid, have problems with my prints
Have problem when printing, some disturbance in my prints, I did all pře print setups like beacon calibration, belt tension, shaper graphs. It's probably something trivial, I am just stack on what it is:).
Over extrusion (maybe?)
Still tuning my new v-core 4 500 hybrid and I think I'm running into an over extrusion issue?
Just wanted to get another set of eyes on it.
Thanks...
Vcore-4 layer shift (new printer)
I just finished commissioning my first RatRig (and first DIY printer). I printed the skew print which worked great, so I started a random test print, and the X/Y seem to have shifted part way through the print. The print was still stuck to the bed, so it wasn't the print that moved. I've not seen this before and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. Good news is that the first layer looked pretty good.
Any advice is appreciated as I'm not sure where to start!...
support for tall and narrow structures - seeking ideas :-)
how do i create some support / stabilizers for things like on the picture
This particular structure is roughly 20x30x370mm, and the thing needs to be printed like this...
I am looking for something like 2 or 3, 45 degree supports from the build plate to the structure at half height.
...
Solution:
design break away supports into the original CAD design
ASA overhangs
I'm having trouble printing bed arms in ASA. I'm running the "latest" RatRig toolhead with Orbiter 2 5 and can get my chamber up to 45C (so far) and overhangs appear terrible in an otherwise flawless print. Fans are at stock RR Generic Orca ASA speeds, any more and the whole thing warps. I tried bringing nozzle and bed temps down to 250/100, with little improvement
Good mesh, bad first layer.
Hey guys, relatively new here. I have a VC4-500 Idex and after calibration, it seems that I have good gantry twist and a decent mesh, but when I go to print, I still can't seem to get a good first layer. It almost seems like the printer is overcompensating for the mesh in some places. I have read a lot of posts on heat soaking, but in every one they seem to also have a problem getting a good mesh, so I'm a little lost on this one. Any thoughts? (Btw, the "sag" on the mesh is in the y axis direc...
Solution:
So just in case anyone else is having this problem. Even though it said i didn't need the scan compensation, I found a thread that lead me to believe that because of a certain setting I had on, I needed it to determine the thermal offset compensation. So I ran BEACON_CREATE_SCAN_COMPENSATION_MESH BED_TEMP=85 PROFILE=Contact , and it fixed the first layer, now it's printing perfectly. Interestingly enough, the contact mesh is a near inverse of the normal scanning mesh. I'm not sure what that say...
Bad/weak prints
So I'm spent 2 days printing this in PETG, and this is how it looks after cleaning it up, removing supports, welding a piece of it back on that broke off, and trying to make it look half way presentable. And it's still garbage. I've been printing in PETG a long time with a lot of successful prints. But I have no idea what's been happening to my RatRig 3.1 500. Ever since I upgraded to the newer tool head, it's been problem after problem and I've had to rebuild it twice. Is this just a Super Slic...
Overhang or over extrusion after overhang issues consistently
I am not quite sure what I am missing in this situation, but I am seeing issues with what looks like overextrusion just after an overhang on my lithophanes.
I have tried reducing the temperature, increasing the part cooling, slowing the print speed from a max of 300mm/s to 100mm/s and still have issues with the same area in multiple prints of different heights.
The bottom frame looks good other than elephants foot that is because I set the offset lower on this print....
