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.

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?
A little help setting up the vaoc on my vc4 please. getting error 'has no attribute 'z_offset_probe'
Getting the above error massage when trying to calibrate the VAOC. If anyone is able to shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it. Many thanks
Heater Rate Issue
Anyone have an idea how to change the variable such that the heater rate is allowed to be less? I installed the Ratroaster by Backwoods Tinkerer and get the following error unless I slowly step up the heater setpoints like in 5C increments. I think the fan works so well and turns on immediately that it takes a bit longer for the heater to start heating up, so hoping there's a variable I can change to allow for a slower heat rate before it shuts down the system. Thanks,

Jamming around the same point in the print
I am trying to print a very important part, but my extruder keeps stripping the filament and stops extruding around 2 hours into the print. I have tried different gcode for the same part, so I don’t think it’s a problem there. The nozzle is not clogging because if I push the filament after it strips then it grabs the filament again and keeps going. Vcore 4 500 hybrid with rapido 2 UHF and orbiter 2. I have heard about a bad batch of rapidos, is this a sign of that? And if so is there and short t...
Solution:
Turns out I have a defective thermistor, so I was printing far to cold and the extruder couldn’t push the filament through
