Help - Stepper Issues

Finally got around to building my V-Core 3 with Oldham Z system from BRS. Crazy long build but I believe all square and I think I did IMO, a very good job on wiring. Setup is BTT Octopus 1.1 407 version with 2209 steppers. U2C Can board with EBB42 - this took time but all working great now....

IP Webcam via USB on rpi

Does anyone know how to access the IP webcam from a phone connected to the RPI via USB? After typing in ssh
ip a
ip a
it shows usb0 but the ip address shown in the application and in ssh does not work. After wifi works normally but of course on a different IP. I would prefer to do it via USB to be WiFi independent

Issues homing homes x and y separately, but not when I click home all

When I select home all, x homes as normal, but then Y will act as if it's already homed and move forward 150mm. Though when homeing each axis individually, this works as expected. I'm using sensorless homing on the octopus board with tmc 2209 drivers. Current Homing override code is below [homing_override] set_position_z: 5 gcode:...

4028 fan PWM control shutdown MCU

Hi! Yesterday i connected my 4028 fan to control it with PWM signal. I used this tutorial (https://os.ratrig.com/docs/guides/4028/) and because the fan was still working on 0% i had to connect GND from step-down converter to heater 1 - output on mainboard and add enable_pin to the fan section in printer config. The problem is that i keep getting errors in random moments while printing but i realised that it happens on layers when the part cooling fan has to be turned on so I suppose that it cau...

Printer Refuses to Power on!

Hi, has anyone had a failure of one of the plugs that supplies power to the printer? This is what I have been using. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DMKBZ9R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I was in the middle of a print and it literally just shut down. The red light will not illuminate on the power switch so I am assuming that this is at fault? Any advice on preventing this. Should I look for a better plug in? I check the fuse and it was ok.

Issues with ADXL Invalid adxl345 id (got ff vs e5).

Wired in my ADXL, uncommented in printer.cfg, entered MEASURE_AXES_NOISE in console and getting "invalid adxl345 id" message, I've checked wiring connections and replaced with new ADXl, still getting same message. Any ideas what I may have missed, or what the problkem may be?

New RatRig v-core 3.1 high vibration at lower speeds.

Hello guys. I have a problem with newly assembled Ratrig v-core 3.1. After first calibration (flow, e-step) I tried printing regular benchy. It printed OK, but I noticed a lot of ringing on all the surfaces (ringing on corners, a lot of "noise" on straight lines). During printing that benchy tool-head was vibrating making loud noise on certain speeds (~50mm/s). Please look at pic of benchy's hull. I am using Super Slicer with all default settings. However when I increase speed (eg. +100%) all noise stops and printer produced very crisp and nice prints. I even increased speed up to +500% and it was printing very well (some ringing but that's normal at this speeds)....

Plate heating speed issue

I'm having an issue with my 200mm V-Core 3.1 plate heating up slowly. It takes a LONG time to get anywhere near PLA temps, PETG temps it seems it can't even reach, and usually shuts down with the error that it was taking too long. (I have calibrated multiple times) It seemed to work normally for about a week after building it, then this started. (I've had the printer for awhile, I got one of the first numbered batch) A little backstory, I have a 500mm V-Core 3.0, and a V-Minion. The 200mm V-Core 3.1 is wired up exactly the same as my 500mm V-Core 3. The 200mm actually has the most wattage for the area of plate, but the 500mm heats up MUCH faster. (and that's only using 80% power due to being in the US with 120v) I'm guessing there is something wrong with either the heating pad, or the SSR? (or the board?) Is there a way I can diagnose them before buying replacements? (I'm getting ready to order the 3.1 upgrade kit for my 500mm)...

layer shift when increasing or decreasing printing speed

Title says it all. I have no layer shift if I do not increase the global speed mid printing, however I do, lets say increase global speed by 50% then at that point layer shift is very noticable and stays the same until the end of the print. Is that normal ?...

Mid-print, mcu lost

Hi folks, I've had this error repeat twice in a row now. Mid-print I'm getting a 'lost communication to MCU' error. No other information is available in the interface. I can get a console on the pi. Wondering what debugging steps I can take to track down the specific cause....

There seems to be no relationship between default fan speed and the actual reported fan speed of t

There seems to be no relationship between "default fan speed" and the actual reported fan speed of the 4028 PWM (which is set correctly to 25hz in printer.cfg) is it the same for others with the 4028 fan? The only thing that seems to influence the print fan speed is the "max fan speed" for some unknown reason.

No trigger on Y after full movement SOLVED

Hi, Is anyone able to help me? I feel like I gonna burn it. I have a vcore 300 just built, when I am homing the printer the x axis is homing but the gantry is moving 10mm on y axis and after that in console I have no trigger on y after full movement. The endstop is working, I test it and is shows triggered when pressed. Can someone please guide me a bit?...
