camera
I've got a usb camera working with the camera-streamer service (according to the log) but it will still only connect on the MPEG streamer not the WebRTC as the crowsnest updated suggested in the webcam setup interface. Never got it to connect with the webrtc option. Problem is the video is so washed out that it's usless other than seeing something moving. I've tried using the v4l2 commands as well as custom flags to change the settings but I know nothing about the pi or the syntax of the co...
Solution:
After it started using the WebRTC steamer I was able to bump it up to 1024x768 and ask for 15fps but with the WebRTC streamer I don't get a FPS count on the screen but it looks okay until honeycomb infill kicks off then its a blur lol , I don't know how to mark this as solved but I'll try to figure it out.
weird bed mesh
had an uneven mesh while setting up my new vcore 4 500 so i adjusted the frame just a tad and then i ended up with these freaky dip in my mesh, any ideas on solving?
Layer Shifts when Printing (VCore 4 - IDEX 400 - Single tool mode)
I've been having this problem on and off for the entire life of the printer, but i recently moved the printer, since which the problem has been consistent - every layer will shift towards the front left.
Given that i've moved the printer, i'm working through the Commissioning / Calibration again, in a hope that working through all of this will help isolate the issue, as at the moment i've lost faith in the printer, as seems to work fine until i print.
Anyway stage 1 ive tensionsed the belts, calibrated Z and the Z-Tilt, and gantry. I've now measured the relative belt tensions using the macros but the graphs look a bit strange compared to what the guide suggests I should expect....
Probe samples exceed sample_tolerance in the back of the plate
Hello, I'm trying to do the BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE command and I'm having issues with it. I Have a V-Core 4 500 IDEX, and while I get a decent measures in the front and center of the bed, when it gets to the back (460, 460 mostly) it's pretty inconsistent. Attached are the measures for the last test
Because I saw a huge difference between front and back of the plate (about 2.5 mm!), I measured with the caliper to check if it was real, and I got less than 0.05 mm difference sometimes between front and back. The maximum I got was 0.13 mm, which obviously is way far away from 2 mm.
My bed mesh is not bad, I attached an image of it. the maximum difference is 0.183 mm, I think it's pretty good for a 500 x 500 printer.
What could be the problem? It only happens in the back, and it's driving me crazy. When I manage to make the BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE to finish I usually got a extreme gantry twist, which I suspect it's not real. Could be the magnetic sheet?...
Printer constantly pauses with no obvious reason
Hello people. Since yesterday evening my VCore4 pauses every couple of minutes. At some point it manages to run normal for half an hour and then again pausing. Both filament sensors are disabled. I'm printing with T0 only currently.
Nothing shows in the console and I saw no Pause mentioning in Klippy.log exept in the inital paragraph with the macros. Any hint to where to search for the culprit? Could it be overheating or loose connection?...
Bed Heater Intermittent Heating (V-Core 4 500mm)
I am having an odd issue with a v-core 4 500x500 printer I inherited. The 120V 1200W bed heater is intermittently shutting off when it heats up from cold, and causes the printer to shutdown from the bed heater taking longer than expected.
The bed heater stops getting power and is accompanied by a click noise, like a contact closing or opening. After several seconds to minutes, if the printer has not shut down, another click is heard and the bed will once again begin heating up. This on/off cycle will continue until the bed has reached the target temperature (80 C), though sometimes rarely it will turn off again while near the target temperature. The rest of the printer remains powered. The original issue with the printer is that the ground and neutral wires from the outlet were swapped and going to the wrong leads on the power supply. This has been corrected but the issue remains. After replacing both the power supply and SSR, the same intermittent heating occurs....

bad vertical finish
greetings to all, I am crazy looking for a solution to my printer problem, I have checked and changed the spindles but I do not find any obvious problem with the printing problems, these horizontal bits always appear, can someone help me. Thanks and sorry for the translation.
Smart sensor issue
I'm trying to get the Orbitor V2 Smart Sensor working. I have an IDEX 500 and both sensors leds are not lit up and on the dashboard both of them just always show as detected wether or not there even is filament. Currently I'm using the config provided by the ratrig team althought in a best case scenario I would like to use the original config (but I also didnt get it to work).
VC4 IDEX copy mode
Hello, I’m trying to print with IDEX copy for the first time on my 400x400. I didn’t get how to set this up in prusa slicer. I set bed size in printer general settings and then I used idex copy macro in ratos. Then I send stl and getting this error: Move out of range - looks like right toolhead moves to the rightmost position on the bed)
Any ideas how to set this up in prusa?
- I already have there start gcode for idex printer as described in ratos doc....
ADC Out Of Range - Strange Issue
Hello,
I have a very strange issue on a V-Core 4 I have.
Everything is working fine. Just the extruder temperature sensor is out of range.
When I start the printer reports a shutdown due to the extruder temp out of range (see photo)....
