pi doesn’t turn on with gpio pins

Just finished assembling my v-core 4 and the pi when powered by the board doesn’t stay on. I tried testing the pins on the octopus and they don’t get readings on none of them. Anyone has a clue on what I might be doing wrong?...

V Chonk bed tramming

Hi everyone, I have a pretty big issue on my V-Chonk. I just finished building it, wiring everything up (it works) and I can't figure how to make the bed even with the gantry (for reference what you do via the z tilt on the v core). I tried lowering it all on the base, but when it goes up it slightly loses the squareness, I tried leveling it manually with the toolhead rotating the M8 screws but the tolerance is still too high.. I don't know what to do. Like this is unusable. I run the stock setup (SKRat with no toolboard), 2 TMC5160 for XY and 2209 for the rest. If anyone can help me I'd be extremely happy 😦...

Input Voltage PWM fans not working

I had a controller fan cooling my stepper drivers which always worked fine, and since updasting to Ratos 2.1 Ive noticed it simply just doesn't turn on, even if in the Mainsail interface it says 100% when the steppers are engaged. Ive added my printer.cfg and a picture of my setup. I have the fan on PD12 with a 12v jumper. My always on fans both work fine, I have J57 on a noctua cooling my pi, and I tested the fan Im using on my controller using that port and it spins fine. Also my 4028 is hooked up with PWM as per ratos guide and it works perfectly fine....

first layer problems

Hello I have a ratrig v4 500. I haven’t managed the first layer of Perfect yet. The z offset is not right with every print and if I then set and save it correctly during the print and after the print then also save the config and restart, it is wrong again at the next print. I have already deactivated the beacon real z via contact. I have recalibrated the beacon several times. I performed an x axis twist compensation. The filament also led directly into the extruder without ptfe hose. All screws on the hotend checked again. And also all the other screws and connections, does anyone else have an idea?...

Calibration/Setup Prints and Macro Editing

I'm finally getting my printer set up to actually print and I need some direct help. The problems I'm having now is first layer calibration. I can't tell if it's the extruder, print settings, z-offset, or what. I would also like to make it not automatically run the bed leveling every time I start a print. Why won't it use the saved calibration profiles?...

Ethernet instead of USB-C?

I had some problems with my USB-C wire between Pi 3b and BTT Octopus(Vcore3.1). Could using an ethernet cable (CAT6) fix this? If so how would I need to change the setup or the config?...

Worn belts on VC 3.1 300mm

I've not got too many hours on my VC3 but both my belts are showing wear on one edge. I'm guessing its a pulley out of alignment, but on both belts?

4028 does not work

I followed the guide on connecting the fan but the fan does not stop running. I tried changing fans and still nothing. Is there a way to check if I have fried the fan controllers of the octopus v1.1 board?...

bed temp fluctuation

Not sure if this is an issue or if there is an easy fix but with my Ratrig V-Core 3.1 300 (with the Ratrig supplied bed and heater) the bed temperature fluctuates about a.5 degr C at lower temperatures. Is this normal?

Unable to flash Octopus V1.1

Tried a few things so far: - Flashing via SD card (firmware.bin does not change to FIRMWARE.CUR) - Flashing via DFU - get "Octopus V1.1 detected but is unresponsive." - Automatically flashing - also fails ...
Solution:
Any issues writing to the SD card? Tried a different card? After flashing via DFU, have you tried skipping to the next step in the configurator? (manually change the step number in the URL)...

Hotend thermistor reading 129c at room temp

I'm using the 42 v1.2 toolboard and the Rapido that comes with the V4 kit. As near as I can tell I have everything selected correctly but the I still get an incorrect reading. I have the jumper in place for the enhanced temp reading as instructed in the build guide. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

Print randomly stops

I was 3 days into a print and went to check on my printer only to find it had stopped. I managed to measure where it left off at, cut my object in slicer and went back at it. A couple hours into the print again I came home to it having stopped and gave me this error again. What's going on and why is it randomly stopping mid print?

TMC 'extruder' reports error: GSTAT: 00000001 reset=1(Reset)

keep getting this issue, happens when printer is both enclosed and not enclosed so I don't think its a extruder temp issue (although when i have had the printer enclosed (55c chamber) the e motor is so hot you can only touch it for a second without burning yourself. unplugged and repluged extruder no difference made, stock VC4 400 hybrid with max ez 48v motion system, tho extruder is stock.
Solution:
think the fix was a dogy cable

3.1 Suddenly 4028 Loses PWM control

Hello everyone, I have not used my printer in awhile, and Monday when I turn it on I realise my cooling fan has lost PWM control. I ordered a new replacement fan but at 24Vs and this also had the same issue. No PWM control. Measuring the PWM wire to ground shows range of between 0-6-12Vs going from 0-50-100% respectively. ...
Solution:
Problem was a shorted MCU, explains the sudden failure after working for 1.5 years. Replaced the MCU and the fan (just in case the PWM module was damaged) and now everything works fine 👍...

Vcore4 500 stock hardware - Hotend keeps jamming on long prints

Just like the title says, my hotend keeps jamming during long prints. The timing isnt consistent, and I have tried lots of things, including tuning retraction. I am using Orca Slicer. It is a 0.4mm nozzle, not the default 0.6 that came on my hotend....
Solution:
Yep. Seems to be fixed now.
