How to check if linear rails are preloaded?

How do I know if I my rails are preloaded? I am asking as it feels like the z axis is unable to properly do the micro movements required for implementing the bed mesh. Very easy to see in first layers where part of the first layer will be perfect, usually where the print starts, another part will be slightly over extruded and another under extruded. Bed mesh variation of 0.15mm, so within the norm. And obviously how do I “preload” for better positioning accuracy 🙈...

New Ratrig 400mm setup Octopus 1.1, heat bet not heating up

It looks like everything is working, green light on the octo when I turn up the heat. Red light on the relay. But it is not heating. Anyone run into this?

V3.1 Rear Z Axis -- Sufficient to Just be Parallel?

I got my rear Z axis parallel to the two front ones pretty much dead on. But the entire bar is slightly closer to the left one than the right one. But undoing the screws to scooch it closer to the right one means I have to agonize over getting it parallel again. As I understand it though, as long as it's parallel, and it's close enough to the middle, it's fine. Because the build plate will just be rotated the faintest amount -- but since it is parallel it'll be consistent and won't matter. Is this correct?...

Toolboard: 4028 Fan wired correctly but behaving inverted.

Basically the title. Ive tried all manners of trying to the the pin to invert in klipper and nothing seams to be working. Here is the config section:...

V Minion Z Banding

Hello. Just got my Minion running recently and I’m having a rough time getting rid of z banding. It was pretty bad yesterday so I realigned the rod again and it’s a bit better, but it’s still noticeable. Any suggestions? ...

end stop connector may have been reversed

What symptoms do you have when you may have installed the end stop connectors with the wrong polarity? Does the whole board fail, does it look normal but some functions don't work anymore?

BTT UPS Power loss Configuration

Need configuration help with BTT UPS that I just installed for power loss. Anyone have a guid on how to configure it?

TMC 'stepper_y' reports error GSTAT: 00000004

This is my first V-Core Build and RatOS configuration. I went to print a calibration cube and about 25% ish in the print failed. Klipper reports: SHUTDOWN TMC 'stepper_y' reports error: GSTAT: 00000004 uv cp=1 (Undervoltage!) I linked the klipper log, printer.cfg, and screenshot....

BLTouch fails on mesh, too close

V-core 3.1 / Volcano UHF : Z-tilt goes great, then on first bed mesh probing, the BLTouch pin bounces of the bed and generates error. Strangely, it works after a few retries although still frustrating

Octopus or stepper or drive, not sure which but something is broken.

Hello All Hope you doing well. Came down to the printer yesterday, and it had stopped mid print. The display was not showing, but it had some light. I power cycled the machine and the BLT didi its test thing. It has a bit of a "The Magik Smoke" smell to it....

Belt is getting sucked into the abyss and causes huge layer shifts

Hey guys, normally I don't bother anyone else with my printer problems, but when an issue pops up for the second time, seemingly out of nowhere after a couple hundred hours of printing just fine I have to investigate. My printer is a V-Core 3.1 with PC-CF printed parts, the white-ish stuff one the photos is jest some lubricant. As I said I already had this hardware issue a couple of months ago, back then I spent ages trying to figure out what the problem was, luckily now I knew what to look out for. But back to the issue: Towards the end of an 15 hour print job, I noticed a huge layer shift in X- and Y-Direction of over 2 cm. And that even though each layer before that had been laid perfectly (to my standards) on top of each other. As you can see on the attached photos, for some reason the top belt is getting dragged downwards from its regular path and by that is getting stuck somewhere in the back left belt assembly. Last time i had the same issue with the right back assembly, but I sadly I don't remember with which one of the belts. My main question is whether or not somebody else had that problem and how they fixed it or even better what causes it? Is it some kind of design flaw of the printer itself or a construction flaw from my end?...

X and Y endstops permanently triggered

I am at the point of being able to manually move the head around, but my x and y endstops (the limit switches supplied by ratrig) are constantly triggered. My wiring is shown in the attached images: y endstop is connected to octopus pro 446 and x endstop to ebb36. As far as I can tell my y axis wiring is as per the instructions. Any ideas? Thanks very much,...

Cracking sound during Z Tilt

I’m hearing what seems to be like a cracking sound when I home Z. Initially I forgot to tighten my nozzle and I’m almost certain that it was the cause —pushing up the printed parts. However after I tightened it, and homed (without any issues). I did Z Tilt, BLTouch registered fine in the front left probe point, toolhead traveled to the back center & failed “no trigger on probe after full movement”. At that point it seemed to make the cracking sound again but I’m certain it wasn’t from the pressure coming from the nozzle as it was tightened. Im pretty certain I cracked the heat sink / fan shroud petg parts when installing the nuts initially but everything didn’t budge and I was going to reprint them in ASA immediately anyways. Is the EVA system the first place to check? V-Core 3.1 & Enclosure 2.0 for reference....

PC Cooling duct melted while printing ASA

Hi, I just noticed that while printing ASA with enclosure at 105°C bed temp my tri horn cooling duct sagged down - It was printed from Prusa PC carbon blend material. I guess this was sort of expected but what is the alternative? What shroud material do you use for printing ASA?...

Invalid homing_positive_dir / position_endstop in 'stepper_x'

I can't figure out why I am getting this? worked fine on the old stuff and now I can't get rid of this code.

Z-tilt working but bed wonky

Okay so I run z-tilt and it works fine corrects to .005 ish so klipper says. But you can look at the printer and see the bed is obviously skewed. In fact if I were to run a bed mesh toward the back left it would fail at the klicky probe triggers before it’s in position to probe. V-core 3.1 - 500 and it is consistent.everything measures fine.

Random crashes during print.

Hi all, I've spent days on this with no result : printer used to work fine for 100's hours. Installed "Cancel Object" and updated PAM. Random crashes started after this intsall. Since, I've even created a new RatoS V2 and installed. Same symptoms. I have no idea what to look for in my klippy.log.... hanks in advance for any help,...

After months of only showing one camera, today my Moonraker is showing the second camera instead

So I have 2 webcams on my rig. Only ever was able to get one to display at a time as the second one would never show up. For months, I just lef the second one one there, unplugged. Last week, I accidentaly plugged the second webcam back in following some changes. Today, when I booted up the OS, I see that both cameras are now showing red lights indicating they are both powered on, and I am seeing the image form camera 2 instead of the habitual camera 1. What do I need to do to enable the other camera as a second view? I noticed that V2 of the RatOS now has Crowsnest running as default....
