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)...

no fan spped control

Tried to control my fan (parts cooling) but beside full speed , there is no change. Switched cable to the tool head but no change. Any ideas or trouble shooting tips? Fresh stockv4 400...
Solution:
switched tool head with a new one. Problem solved

Crash during print: "Lost communication with MCU.

Random disconnection, not sure what is causing the issue, I have been printing 4hours and this happened with no reason. system: octopus pro V1.1 H723, Pi4 with a 64GB sd card from 3D NAND...

Underextrusion?

My prints were coming out fine last week and if I print the same gcode now the top layer is always patchy. Anything I print ends up like this, ran some other flow tests and everything seems to be in order but the corners come out weird. I assume the two might be related. I'll also list some other variables I have tried to test. Nozzle: .4, swapped to fresh one, no difference. Flow rate: more or less makes no difference. Temp: more or less makes no Diddy...

It looks like overextrusion but only on certain prints

When I print this 2 color benchy it either fails comletely or when it can finish it looks really bad but when I printed these 4 mounts for the dayspring leds it worked fine, so I think its more likely a software issue. I have no idea what settings I have to change and I already lowered the print speed to 100 mm/s. It also looks like the Z offset is wrong but I recalibrated that a few times already.

Pressure Advanced issue.

Hi, ich habe ein problem mit meinen PA Einstellungen. Ich bekomme es einfach nicht hin. Die Ecken werden entweder zu rund oder es fehlt Filament. Ich habe von 0,02 - 0,04 in 0,005er Schritten immer wieder einen Testdruck gemacht. Mit den PA Linien, Turm und Pattern-test komme ich eigentlich immer auf 0,02-0,03. Ich habe auch mit der smooth time gespielt, kommt aber auch nichts dabei raus.

The first layer only holds on one side of the bed

Colleagues - I have run out of ideas for a solution my printer is a Vcore 3.1 AWD The situation is as follows: in one place the print adheres extremely firmly (it is difficult to tear it off later), while in other places the filament practically does not adhere to the table - it literally just "licks" it. This problem mainly affects large prints, where the differences in adhesion are particularly noticeable. ...

First layer Perfect everything after that is garbage

Im trying to tune my v minion after installing Ratos 2.1 .I got it setup with a Goliath and a hextruder, but it won't print properly the first layer comes out perfect but after that the layers won't stick, separate and look under extruded. Before that I had it set up on old Ratos with an orbiter and rapido and it printed perfectly. I print the PLA at 240c . Checked e steps tried to print slower but nothing changes.

Please help with Benchy Hull Line

I've started fighting with the abovementioned benchy hull line - I need to print a table leg extenders and started encountering this issue exactly at the point where the layer time changes. Exactly in the point where the layer time changes as is shown in the picture. General data for the print: V-Core 3.1 300 with custom enclosure, Toolhead V1....

Wiggly Walls

Here are some pitures of the prints I am getting. The walls at an angle have these weird wavy/bumpy artifacts. Any ideas what whese are caused by? Its generic PLA and the outter walls are printed at a slow 40mm/s.

What setting should I look into

I print some models and overall they are okay, however if I look from a different angle rather then enface then I get lines and they are quite visible layer when painting the models. Everything is calibrated, but, perhaps something needs to be calibrated better? I use z hop Sunlu matte pla...

Extrusion flow issue VCore 4

Just got through commissioning, first build from a kit, and everything is as square and tuned as I can get it mechanically. I'm not sure what to try to troubleshoot this. First layers look good, then things go off the rails when I start hitting layers with infill. Remarkably, once past those layers the print continues like it never had a problem. I've tried a few (dry) filaments, and no improvement. I'm using Prusa Slicer with Generic PLA presets....
Solution:
So I did work this out; my parts cooling fan was not wired properly and was not running at ALL. Once a 4028 is spinning you really can't miss it.

Smudgy/ripply top layers & solid infill

Any ideas where these smudgy top layers come from? Especially the corners? It's a VC3.1 400, enclosed, Rapido UHF fed by Orbiter. PLA, printed after excessive heatsoak, 0.6n, 0.4lh I did: tune PA, checked my rotation distance, calibrated flow, reduced extrusion width on top layers and top solid infill to 0.41, reduced infill/parameter overlap to 5%. Sliced with PrusaSlicer 2.8.0...

PLA cracking on Minion but flawless on Vcore3

Hi, sliced in orca for both printers with same setting for both. both printers has same extruder and hotend. I have tried on minion higher Temp, more and less cooling. more shells. I`m out of ideas what causing this ( same Filament same spool) (prints on right side of foto are minion )
Solution:
in the end it was extruder LGX lite, its crap design with finite tension, it was not tight enough in the middle position. solution swith to orbiter

Print layer shift effect with no layer shift

I have a weird problem and I would really love to get some help with. Every time I have a print that has a top surface and then walls continuing above the top surface (See the pictures), I get some weird layer shifting like a line that is protruding out of the walls at the same height of the top layer. Does anyone know how to fix that? Would appreciate any help you can give. ...

Oozing / stringing issue

I'm printing on a V core 3 with PETG. I mostly go oozing problem when i'm printing. I tried reducing the heat from 235° to 225°C. I also increased the speed of the fan and retractation distance from 0.5 mm to 2mm. I also find an option in Prusaslicer to "wash during retractation" but i tried and didn't see any changes. With different PETG filament I got the same problem....

first layer keeps getting worse while it’s printing

Hello!! I got a vcore 4 500mm hybrid, and for some reason I haven’t managed to get a proper first layer. My issue is that as the first layer prints the surface is not the same. It starts from being away from the PEI and as it prints it gets closer and it is making the classic wavy pattern. ...
