odd z wobble

I don't know if this should go in fix my printer or fix my print...I have an odd z-wobble issue, the z-wobble only happens at the extremes of the x axis and not in the y…sort of. The z axis is belt driven so there is no bent lead screw but there is unmistakeable banding at the same pitch pitch as the gt2 belts used for x,y,z axes. Any idea what might cause this? Hatchbox pla, 210c, .3 layer, dragon dual switching hotends, .6 Bondtech cht nozzle...

strange behaviour of my vcore

Hi I am having some strange behaviour from my vcore v3.1 ,I switched it on this morning to run a print and when it homed the axis it made a very loud resonating noise and ran slowly like as if the steppers were grinding . Anyway after a while it sorted itself out and I managed to get a print off fine. Now gone and started another print and it started to do the same. Please see the poor video of it lol...

Part Cooling fan doing what it wants

So Yesterday my part cooling fan started to do whatever he wants. i got my fan speed at 45% after 3 layers in Prusa. But since yesterday it does what it wants in RatOs it says that its at 45% but the fan isnt turned on. If i manually adjust the speed it takes between 10-30 seconds before anything happens. Im not quite sure what happened because i havent changed anything.

Z-Offset still doesnt save

Ive been having this issue for a couple of weeks now and i have no clue what it is. I even switched over to RatOS 2.0, but my z-offset still doesn't save and my nozzle stil smashes into the bed after i start the print. Pretty much everytime I start my printer i have to readjust my z-offset. I thought its a mechanical Problem, but at this point i dont think it is and im out of ideas. pls help me XD

Section 'ratos_homing' is not a valid config section

Extruder wiring issues

So in the middle of a print I randomly started to get extruder skipping near a corner of my part. I deduced that this was because the extruder wiring at that part of the printer was either wiggling or loose. Prints work flawlessly when I hold the extruder wire connecter firmly into place in the extruder, and I was wondering how I can fix this issue.

New setup questions

Working on setting up everything and calibrating my printer before making my first self build printer. Bit of a newbie here 🙂 1. I'm using klicky probe for my Vcore3.1 and im curious about the offset in the default klicky.cfg. I think i have to use KlickyProbe_Microswitch_XL (https://github.com/jlas1/Klicky-Probe/blob/main/Probes/KlickyProbe/STL/KlickyProbe_Microswitch_XL.stl) in order to have the probe pass the rapido hotend, right? And if so, is the offset in the default cfg correct? The file says to not make any edits. 2. I havent really done any tuning on belt tensionig, but it looks like the x-rail profle is slightly off from being perpendicular to the y-rails. Is this something i fix with belt tension as i think this was pretty good when i was assembling the toolhead....

Vcore 3.1 Rear Z arm slides down under weight of bed

Just upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 on the Z axis, with wobbleX. As per the title the rear z arm slides down by like 15 cm. I am unable to home properly unless I manually twist the z hold in place and then home. Then the motors get energized and I'm good. ...

v-minion z rod noise

Hey, my v-minion has developed a noise when moving down a certain section of the z axis. See video for noise.

Strange heating behavior

I'm having a strange heatup pattern on my printer. You can see the dip is a thermal runaway. PID autotuning results in thermal runaway too. My printer is all self source and my bed is self made so I have a cross drill into the center of the bed so the thermistor gets a reading of the actual bed plate temp. Not sure why it gets stuck at 85 but as soon as you reset and keep heating it follows about the same tangent of the first line. Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this behavior?...

Keep getting MCU error with Goliath hotend attached.

Hi I keep getting the following error. Super annoying and I can’t figure why. I haven’t been able to print for weeks. I thought it was the thermistor wires, so I fixed it, but that did nothing. They are super thin so it’s hard to do anything with them. ...

Updated everything. Now none of my usbs work

I've held off updating stuff since my printer was working well in the software/firmware department. I have no projects to do and all my stuff for work is finished. I decided to update everything. I don't know what version I was on before or any of the components. I just selected update all in the web UI and left it alone. Everything updated great. No errors, everything seemed good until I noticed my usb ports on my manta m8p are not working. I currently can't use my adxl or my Webcams. My printer works fine though. Just I can't see what I'm printing. When my usb Webcams are plugged in, green lights come on. I get nothing. Even if I plug in a usb led light (used for testing usb power), I get nothing. There is no power at all coming from my usbs. The Webcams worked fine before updating everything. I printed something this morning and I was able to see it....
