BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION Issue

Hello, I put together a Vcore4 400 Idex and am going through the commissioning guide. The first issue that I've run into that I can't seem to figure out is when running the initial beacon calibration - where after I run BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION, the X and Y axis home for the tool heads, then T0 moves to the center of the build plate and then the Z axis slowly raises up. When the build plate gets close to the beacon sensor, the indicator light on the sensor turns red and the bed keeps moving, crashing into the nozzle so I have to E-stop. My questions are: What does success look like for BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION? How do I know that it completed successfully? ...

Printing paused or how to disable clog detection

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to print the skew_calibration but am already failing to do so. When I start the printing it pauses randomly, sometimes after a few lines or right after the prime blob. I recognized that the sensor flashes yellow briefly before changing to green and then pausing. When I force him to continue he unloads the filament. I enabled debug and it seems to be the clog detection. I tried to disable it in the printer config. but it has no effect. Did I do something wrong or is there any other possibility do disable it....

VC4-500 Idex weird first layer problems

I have been chasing this issue for many hours at this point and while many things have improved there is still something weird going on. The skirt potion of every print that I try, and parts of the initial perimeters do not adhere to the build plate at all. I think it is because of the z-offset but I am not sure. After that point, the rest of the first layer is laid down beautifully. Even with all the blobs from the failed portion of the print in the way....
Solution:
Well, I have made a silly mistake - installed the 0.6 nozzles instead of the 0.4 as didn't realize the printer came with both. After switching tha tover was able to quickly dial tihngs in as expected 🤦‍♂️

Extruder Temperature Destabilization

Hello, I have run into a bit of an issue. During printing, the temperature starts to fluctuate, eventually exceeding the verification range, and erroring out. When I simply set the extruder to the same temperature, it holds it rock solid (+/- 0.5C), even with the fan on. Here is my override, as I have the rapido 2.0 non-PT1000. -----------------------OVERRIDE---------------------- [extruder]...

Status LEDs not changing color

I have installed neopixels in the corners of my V-Core 4 and the leds are not changing color when I use the machine. The sample code did not control the LEDs at all until I changed the `[neopixel nozzle_led_t0] pin: toolboard_t0:PB0 chain_count: 4...

New IDEX 500 pre-build problems and need help to decide what to do

So I received today a IDEX 500 that has been prebuild for my business. At first sight the machine looks good, also I don't need the most perfect graphs, the machine needs to be a workhorse and needs to be reliable. But when we (me and my team) looked deeper into it we found problem after problem. And I want to know if this is fixable. I have contacted the seller and I'am waiting for his reply but I want to be prepared if I need to put in effort to fix it....

extruder temperature drops unexpectedly

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my CoreV4 500 IDEX. At higher temperatures, around 240°C in the extruder, the temperature drops and the printer shuts down. On suspicion, I swapped the temperature sensor from the right extruder to the left. Unfortunately, there was no change. I have also performed PID calibration several times without any change. The point at which the temperature sensor fails is always different, but it never makes it past the first layer....

Update path crowsnest

I followed the comissioning guide and I got my VCore 4 Idex running with T0. But now I get these warning messages and I cant do the Idex Comissioning. I think something is wrong because in the Update Manager there is no crowsnest option and the warnings mention that. Did I do something wrong?

mcu 'mcu': unable to connect Klipper Error in vMinion

The other day I decided to run a full software update on my vMinion printer. Immediately after the update I was able to complete several prints without any problems. I shut the printer down at the end of the day, and when I restarted it the next morning I received the following error message: mcu 'mcu': unable to connect. I've tried rebooting and restarting the printer but the error persists. It seems that something broke during the updating process. I've attached the moonraker.log and kli...
Solution:
I solved the problem via these steps: 1) Used SSH to find MCU serial path with the following command: ls /dev/serial/by-id/* and copied the path delivered by the command. 2) I then opened printer.cfg and added a mcu section. 3) I then pasted the serial path copied in step 1 into the mcu section as follows: serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_stm32f429xx_btt-skr-2-429-if00. 4) I saved the printer.cfg and restarted the printer. On restart, connection problem was eliminated.

#VAOC cam not recognised

#VAOC Good morning to everyone. I am into finishing to build my V-core 4 (300 version with IDEX) and I'm stuck on VAOC cam because windows do not recognize the cam. When I connect her to my pc and ensure that everything is working prior to go ahead, the computer makes the usual sound of devices connected and disconnected (pretty fast, every 2 seconds) or no sounds at all if I change the USB port. ...

Move out of range during print near X limits

I was trying to print something that is a 400mm circle with my VC4 400 IDEX. I'm getting move out of range error with both extruders when they get near the other end of the bed. So Extruder 0 when approaching X 400 gives "Move out of range: 397.365 168.739 0.306 [23446.058]" And Extruder 1 approaching X 0 gives error "Move out of range: 1.512 208.850 0.257 [1020.967]" ...

Klipper shutdown

Please help, I've gone through every wire to the bigtree and triple checked the documents. Anytime i try to move the Carriage for a Idex setup, 10 mm left or right, i get this fault "Unable to read tmc uart 'dual_carriage' register IFCNT" It then goes into a klipper shutdown

Heater Rate Issue

Anyone have an idea how to change the variable such that the heater rate is allowed to be less? I installed the Ratroaster by Backwoods Tinkerer and get the following error unless I slowly step up the heater setpoints like in 5C increments. I think the fan works so well and turns on immediately that it takes a bit longer for the heater to start heating up, so hoping there's a variable I can change to allow for a slower heat rate before it shuts down the system. Thanks,
Solution:

layershifting Problems

Hello, I have a VCore 4 500 IDEX and I am having problems starting it up. I keep having layershifting no matter how much I have reduced the speed and belt tension. What could be the cause of the problem? Is it normal for the T1 toolhead to collide when calibrating? Is it normal that the VAOC does not find a webstream?...

IDEX Head collision while heating up

sorry, I think I posted this in the wrong channel .... I think it's an printer issue, not a RotOS issue... https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1350126532214919168...
