Z-Offset / Beacon Compensation / RatOS V4 500 IDEX

I originally had the issue that, during calibration, a Z-offset of around 0.138 mm was always set automatically, no matter what I did. In order to address this, I took the following steps: • I heat-soaked the printer for 1.5 hours with the nozzle at 150 °C (approximately 20 mm above the heated bed) and the bed at 110 °C, • Deleted the existing Beacon model,...

Flashing Octopus Board V1.1 & RatOS

I am struggling to flash an octopus board for my V-Core V3. I tried flashing it with a microSD card because the dfu was not detecting the octopus board. I tried removing all the jumpers and just connecting the board to flash it and many more but it doesn't seem to work. I use RatOS v.2 and I'll attach the screenshots from there. Also I was worried that the cable was not a data cable so I used the same cable for the working V-Core we have in the Lab. It didn't change anything either....

Issues Flashing EBB42 v1.2 via DFU

In the initial setup I got all my boards flashed just fine. After the full printer was assembled the main board needed new firmware flashed fine. But now I cannot get the EBB42 v1.2 to flash using DFU as automatic is disabled. Every time I hit the buttons in the corresponding order it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Unsolveable version mismatch after reinstall 2.0 vs 2.1?

I started doing some long overdue updates 2.0, in the logs it said a reflash of the mcu might be required after the updates. Indeed there seemed to be a problem since nothing of klipper worked anymore afterwards and neither did automatically/manually flashing it... So i did a complete reinstall of rpi and clean setup. I got the version mismatch during setup (see picture) and reflashing it does not solve it. I decided to ignore it and continue, everything also seemed to work until i try to home it initially. I get an error that the axis should be homed before homing?? (see picture) Setting center kinematic position and everything works fine afterwards. ...

Gantry Twist & Bed Mesh Issues on RatRig V-Core 4 500

Hey everyone, I'm running into some issues with my V-Core 4 500 and could use some advice. I'm dealing with gantry twist and bed mesh inconsistencies, which are affecting my first-layer quality. On the assembly phase, we did use a water level to align the 3030 extrusions, but the result is always incorrect according to the sensor. Has anyone else dealt with this on a V-Core 4 500? Any tips or guides to adjust the frame? ...

Bed moving down by home command.

Hello, I have a problem with initializing the V-Core 4 Hybrid. I have all stepper motors working in the right direction. The bed I can move up and down with the arrows after the M1 command. But when I restart and click on the orange "HOME", all X and Y movements go correctly, but the bed keeps going down, without stopping.

Issue with VCore 4 IDEX 500 Homing – Carriage Crashing into Frame

Hey everyone, I recently got a RatRig VCore 4 IDEX 500 and ran into an issue during the homing/calibration process. Even though the endstops appear to be working properly, the dual carriages keep crashing into the frame when homing. It seems like something’s misconfigured, and I’m worried it might cause damage. I’ve attached my configuration files and some videos showing exactly what’s happening. If anyone has experienced this or can help troubleshoot, I’d really appreciate your input. ...

Wierd Sound

BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION Issue

Hello, I put together a Vcore4 400 Idex and am going through the commissioning guide. The first issue that I've run into that I can't seem to figure out is when running the initial beacon calibration - where after I run BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION, the X and Y axis home for the tool heads, then T0 moves to the center of the build plate and then the Z axis slowly raises up. When the build plate gets close to the beacon sensor, the indicator light on the sensor turns red and the bed keeps moving, crashing into the nozzle so I have to E-stop. My questions are: What does success look like for BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION? How do I know that it completed successfully? ...

Printing paused or how to disable clog detection

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to print the skew_calibration but am already failing to do so. When I start the printing it pauses randomly, sometimes after a few lines or right after the prime blob. I recognized that the sensor flashes yellow briefly before changing to green and then pausing. When I force him to continue he unloads the filament. I enabled debug and it seems to be the clog detection. I tried to disable it in the printer config. but it has no effect. Did I do something wrong or is there any other possibility do disable it....

VC4-500 Idex weird first layer problems

I have been chasing this issue for many hours at this point and while many things have improved there is still something weird going on. The skirt potion of every print that I try, and parts of the initial perimeters do not adhere to the build plate at all. I think it is because of the z-offset but I am not sure. After that point, the rest of the first layer is laid down beautifully. Even with all the blobs from the failed portion of the print in the way....
Solution:
Well, I have made a silly mistake - installed the 0.6 nozzles instead of the 0.4 as didn't realize the printer came with both. After switching tha tover was able to quickly dial tihngs in as expected 🤦‍♂️

Extruder Temperature Destabilization

Hello, I have run into a bit of an issue. During printing, the temperature starts to fluctuate, eventually exceeding the verification range, and erroring out. When I simply set the extruder to the same temperature, it holds it rock solid (+/- 0.5C), even with the fan on. Here is my override, as I have the rapido 2.0 non-PT1000. -----------------------OVERRIDE---------------------- [extruder]...

Status LEDs not changing color

I have installed neopixels in the corners of my V-Core 4 and the leds are not changing color when I use the machine. The sample code did not control the LEDs at all until I changed the `[neopixel nozzle_led_t0] pin: toolboard_t0:PB0 chain_count: 4...

New IDEX 500 pre-build problems and need help to decide what to do

So I received today a IDEX 500 that has been prebuild for my business. At first sight the machine looks good, also I don't need the most perfect graphs, the machine needs to be a workhorse and needs to be reliable. But when we (me and my team) looked deeper into it we found problem after problem. And I want to know if this is fixable. I have contacted the seller and I'am waiting for his reply but I want to be prepared if I need to put in effort to fix it....

extruder temperature drops unexpectedly

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my CoreV4 500 IDEX. At higher temperatures, around 240°C in the extruder, the temperature drops and the printer shuts down. On suspicion, I swapped the temperature sensor from the right extruder to the left. Unfortunately, there was no change. I have also performed PID calibration several times without any change. The point at which the temperature sensor fails is always different, but it never makes it past the first layer....

Update path crowsnest

I followed the comissioning guide and I got my VCore 4 Idex running with T0. But now I get these warning messages and I cant do the Idex Comissioning. I think something is wrong because in the Update Manager there is no crowsnest option and the warnings mention that. Did I do something wrong?

mcu 'mcu': unable to connect Klipper Error in vMinion

The other day I decided to run a full software update on my vMinion printer. Immediately after the update I was able to complete several prints without any problems. I shut the printer down at the end of the day, and when I restarted it the next morning I received the following error message: mcu 'mcu': unable to connect. I've tried rebooting and restarting the printer but the error persists. It seems that something broke during the updating process. I've attached the moonraker.log and kli...
Solution:
I solved the problem via these steps: 1) Used SSH to find MCU serial path with the following command: ls /dev/serial/by-id/* and copied the path delivered by the command. 2) I then opened printer.cfg and added a mcu section. 3) I then pasted the serial path copied in step 1 into the mcu section as follows: serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_stm32f429xx_btt-skr-2-429-if00. 4) I saved the printer.cfg and restarted the printer. On restart, connection problem was eliminated.

#VAOC cam not recognised

#VAOC Good morning to everyone. I am into finishing to build my V-core 4 (300 version with IDEX) and I'm stuck on VAOC cam because windows do not recognize the cam. When I connect her to my pc and ensure that everything is working prior to go ahead, the computer makes the usual sound of devices connected and disconnected (pretty fast, every 2 seconds) or no sounds at all if I change the USB port. ...
