Layer shifts destroying perfect prints

It's 100% the same gcode, out of Orca Slicer with my regular PETG profile, it prints fine for the most part even. Printer is 100% stock. ...

IDEX 500 erroring when going to print from second toolhead

I'm running into an issue. have an IDEX 500 and it errors as soon as it starts using the second extruder during the print. It does the blob and purge just fine. The frustrating part is it was printing perfectly fine before. I can't find any changes in the Prusa Slicer but now it errors out every time... 😕 This is the error message from the console: 3:00 PM Move exceeds maximum extrusion (1.915mm^2 vs 1.440mm^2)...

Beacon poke test failed on BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE

I am setting up a second VC-4 500 IDEX and getting a Beacon poke test error. This setup is a deviation from a standard build with a full MRW kit, Toro3D Ti tube, and Chube Air. I checked all fasteners, on the gantry, head, and z-axis. I added the modified y offset to the printer.cfg. Initial Beacon calibrate states 0.0041 sd. Guidance is appreciated? Thank you....

Belt tension/Belt slipping

Hello lovely people. I'm wondering what the highest acceleration you guys have achieved with the v-core 4? I've just begun printing with my V-core 4 IDEX 400mm and the belts on the X axis keep slipping if I have higher than 4000mm2 acceleration. And if I put more tension on the belts it slips out of the clip on the toolhead. I did manage to print a replacement clip I found on printables which seems to be working somewhat better. But it still slips if I increase tension much more than before. ...
Solution:
The belts coming out of the toolhead mounts, from my understanding, is a known issue. Shoudl either get the belt clips from Wade @ mandala or use the vzbot style clips.

Suddenly heater bed not heating at expected rate while printing, log shows no abnormalities

Hi everyone, my V-Core 4 shut down mid print due to error described in title. The klippy log shows nothing unusual, the temperatures logged right before the error show exactly the expected temperature. Please take a look at the screenshots of the log, full log is attached too. The thermal fuse is alright, the bed heats just as expected after restart. It's really annoying when you're in the middle of a day long IDEX multi material print and it just shuts down... If anyone has an idea what could cause this, I'd be very glad....

Vcore4 no UI, only ssh

Hi there, running a vcore 4 more than 6 month. Today I had to press the emergency stop. After that, the printer UI didn't come online anymore. First I thought it is some network issues but after switching to Ethernet I certainly doubt it. Also I still can ssh into the pi just fine. Any help is appreciated. tried running ratos doctor

Bed heater replaced and still getting klipper shutdown error

Started getting klipper shutdown errors for bed not heating at expected rate. Checked everything I could, even replaced the thermal fuse again to no avail. Strange thing is it would start to heat and get to about 50 C when error would hit. Then after tons of troubleshooting it kept getting worse and does it after a few degrees of heat. I replaced the bed heater with another Keneevo and having exact same behavior. I can honestly say the only change that was made prior to all of this was insta...

Printer stopped responding, UI won't open

I was printing some parts on my Vcore 3, everything was working fine. When I uploaded the next part to print, it didn't work. I tried uploading again, didn't get any errors but nothing happened. So I tried resetting the printer (unplugging and plugging power back). Now I can't reach the web UI at all. Tried rebooting a few times and it's always the same. I can access the printer on the console using ssh, but have no idea what I can do here to fix this. Tried the "ratos doctor" command but it's not recognized....

TEMPERATURE_WAIT

Extremely high gantry twist, out of ideas.

Hi, so Ive been fighting heavy gantry twist, what feels strange is that nothing affects the numbers, they just jump +/- 10um, but always the problem is on the left side. Please see the images. Even artificially if I pul down the left corner, like 1mm, the gantry twist is still in the same range. Open for ideas or suggestions, thank you!...

When I connect the printer display I cannot connect to printer with LAN

I have a VCore4 with stock electronics and a Raspberry Pi 4 and BTT 7" touchscreen. I do not use WiFi to connect but instead use LAN. I have had the it running for a couple months with no issues but recently I had to hit the E Stop on the screen and now if the screen is connected I cannot SSH into it or connect to it any way with my computer but the screen works fine. If I disconnect the screen, obviously the screen doesn't work, but all connections from the computer work. I would appreciate any help but I want to warn that I am not too smart with this but I can follow directions well. I have tried this in an attempt with no results: first disable network manager:...

Partcooling Fans on IDEX both 100% all time

Hi guys, I have the issue that my printer is completly new assembled and my part cooling fans are running 100% all time. I triple checked the wires of my sanyos, brown goes to the white cable and the whitecable goes to PA0 on the EBB42. It is the same behaviour on both Fans. I also checked the connection with a multimeter. What am I doing wrong? I already found this link with same issue? And the guy tells us that the Octopus is broken?...

No Extrusion

Hi, I’ve inherited this printer and have encountered what I think is my first clog. When loading new filament I can’t get anything to extrude. I’m hesitant to start taking the tool head apart because I don’t want to mess anything up, so I’m looking for confirmation on the right steps and how to do so. Any insight would be appreciated!...
