Inconsistent squiggly perimeters
I have a VCore 3.1 500. For the life of me I have not been able to narrow down the cause of this squiggly line that starts each perimeter. Direction of travel is black arrow. Squiggle circled in red, normal end of perimeter is circled blue. Acceleration and print speed values have not made a difference

PETG troubles..
Hello.
I recently put on a fresh spool of PETG.. no matter what settings I play with, slowed everything down to a snails pace, I can't get a good print.. the first layer comes out perfect.. any subsequent layer prints like garbage.. i thought it might have been my orbiter v2 run_current setting being low as it appears to be an extrusion feed issue.. with assistance I was able to resolve this but still, no go.. any help would be greatly recommended. Photos show the first layer, then the other side showing the crap print that follows..
Nozzle temp is 240 - 245.....
Weird artifacts (Not a new build)
Been having these artifacts for my recent prints, which were not there before. Any idea what could have caused it?
Print to squished on 1 side & loose on the other
Recently I have noticed that the 1st layer on my print is really bad. You can see from the photo that it is squished too much on the left but the lines are not even touching on the right causing it to lift off the bed.
I am using RatOS with the default Start_Print sequence & a beacon surface scanner & the height map does not look too bad either.
I did all the calibration steps for the beacon too but with PLA. I thought that it compensated itself for the higher ABS temperature.
Any suggestions?...
Very ugly overhangs
Hey All!
It feels like I've tried it all but I cannot seem to get my overhangs to print nicely :(. The print on the image is printed with FormFutura rPLA @210 degrees 0.2mm layer height and 0.6mm nozzle (goliath hotend). Printspeed is 300mm/s for outer walls 500mm/s for inner walls, slowing down 50% for 45 degree overhangs (as in picture). I use Orcaslicer and have extra perimeters and reversing on odd perimeters enabled. Fanspeed is 50% (cpap) increasing the fanspeed does not seem to affect performance.
Any tips and tricks?...
Solution:
I was already doing inner/outer perimiters. Thank you for a nudge in the right direction got them printing nicely now after maxing out my fanspeed and increasing the minimum layer time drasticly to 3.5sec. Seems i need some really good auxilery partcooling fans.
Idex torture test
Finally getting my idex online. Did a torture test print and would love some tips for tuning.
Is this just needing to use a prime tower?
Better filament flow tuning?...
Solution:
Prime tower definitely helps. Clearly need to tune belts and IS.
Extrusion(?) issue on round surfaces
See image - Why is this extrusion situation happening?
Left was printed with tree supports (prusaslicer).
Right was printed without supports.
I thought this was one of many issues due to bimetal effect. I upgraded the x-axis with titanium tube, and the problem persists despite the other known issues to have pretty much resolved.

Layer Shifts looking for help
Im getting layer shifts when printing on default settings within Prusaslicer and within the Ratos I have the speed factor down to 60 % and getting constant shifts . Using orca slicer has a better quality but shifts as well. Both softwares are default setting for VCore 4 400mm
Solution:
your Y IS graph is kinda poopoo, but your x is phenomenal???
Anyways, when you go into configurator on ratos, and go into Hardware Selection, make sure you are running in performance mode...
Inconsistent extrusion with ASA
I recently migrated from an lgx lite to an orbiter 2.5 and have been working on dialing in my asa profile using Inland ASA. I printed this bowl, where the lattice work looks mostly clean, but the top and bottoms are inconsistent. I printed this with an Extrusion Multiplier of .86 after running some calibration prints and ensuring my rotation distance was accurate (it was off by about 1%, which I compensated for). Not sure if this is an extrusion multiplier issue or a pressure advance issue, and...
VC4 500 Extrusion Issues with PETG
Seeing some various issues trying to print PETG
Will fill in with addl details shortly...
top layer underextrusion
I have a strange issue,
I just recently setup a new printer vc3.1 300 which is running klipper.
I have no expierence using the klipper system, my other printers use duet boards.
I also decided to start using orcaslicer for this printer just to see how i would like it.

pla vcore4 500 idex
PLA print of benchy at .6 mm noz and defaults for everything. belts and vaoc and such all configured and fall within tolerances. still need to enclose the printer, shakes a lot at default speeds.
i couldn’t get benchy to print with my petg ( cheap no name brand. ) switched to pla and kept fan at default 40-80 percent. is this messy print on the side a fan issue or extrusion multiplier? ( think i had at .98)...
