Stepper driver warning: OTPW flag set

Hi All, I have been getting this warning for stepper_z1 and stepper_z2 pop up anytime I activate my Z-motors. "Stepper driver warning: OTPW flag set...

Hybrid confusion

Installed belts today for the hybrid and used configuration setup to be 500 hybrid. thing makes a awful noise as you can hear belts skipping. My printer.cfg reads [stepper_x] dir_pin: !x_dir_pin # Add ! in front of pin name to reverse the direction of stepper_x...
Solution:
After troubleshooting turns out I have a bad motor. will wait till replacement arrives to finish hybrid upgrade. Thank you to the folks that helped me get to the answer.

RatOS Keeps Corrupting During Commissioning

I have a Vcore 4 Idex 500, with a Pi 4 and the Waveshare USB hub setup like the instructions. I can't get through the commissioning steps without RatOS corrupting, and I have to start over. The best example of the problem was when I tried to print the Skew calibration print after a perfect first layer test, the nozzle dug a line into the print bed, I lost the mainsail interface so I couldn't stop it here and had to pull the power. After that, the wifi connection never comes back. I've tried thre...

Issue with layershift

I have a problem with a masive layershift in one direction. It happends on every print even with slow settings and it is always in one direction. I already checked the belts and pulleys. The performace mode hasnt help too. Does anyone know how to solve that problem?...

Move Out of Range Error

I'm getting the error in the screen shot while doing an IDEX print on my VCore 4 500. Tried it in Prusa and Orca with the same result. I've done the VAOC, _VAOC_Reset, and CALCULATE_DC_ENDSTOP multiple times. I occurs when the printer switches to the other head. If I do a IDEX print with a small item in the middle of the plate it works OK. Seems like the IDEX has some weird boundary issues going on. Any ideas on what the issue is?

Belt aligned help

Is there any reason why this is happening? When I move my T0 right, the belt aligns itself, when I move it to the left it kinda gets down. So I feel resistance when i move it left but not when moving right....
Solution:
That pulley looks like its upside down

Beacon not recognized after IDEX upgrade

Sop, After completing the IDEX upgrade, on my Vcore 4 400, RatOS essentially is acting as if it doesn't see the beacon probe. I know its installed, and was working correctly prior to the IDEX upgrade, as the machine was running with it as a Hybrid for awhile. I've tried updating, reinstalling RatOS, verifying connections (the beacon shows up under devices, and lights up when close to the bed), to no avail. Will attach debug zip to comment. TIA...
Solution:
OK, went through the configurator again. I found where the probe is selected. It defaults to the Superpinda, which is where that came from. Maybe a future revision to have the configurator default to the probe included in the kit, like the rest of the hardware? Thanks for the help!...

Issue with the X stop and possibly the Y

Wondering if anyone has any ideas or had this issue before?...

Heater extruder not heating

Hi all again, I can't seem to heat up the hotend on the vcore 3.1 I am trying to finish commissioning. When I do the PID tuning for the extruder (the stock Phaetus Rapido), or when I just try to raise the temperature from the console, I always get this klipper error: ```...
Solution:
ah crap I guess it’s fried beyond salvation then 😕

vcore 3.1 prints fine with prints that are up to 3 hours But with longer prints 5+ it layershifts

Title says everything. Printer is 3.1 300mm with rapido uhf hotend. Just default set up basically. and rat os 2.1 most updated version.

how to change probe offset on v minion

sorry probably newbie stupidity but only ever run marlin on a modded ender 3. i have built i believe a stock vminion, when it gets to the front of the bed at the end of bed meshing the induction probe ends up hanging over the front of the bed and doesnt trigger leading to the nozzle crashing into the bed and a failure . i cant find the probe offset field in config file to review/change unless its something else.this is when starting a print from cura generated g code using their vminion profile....

unable to read tmc uart 'stepper_z' register ifcnt

i had klipper on the ratrig 300 and just flashed RatOS, i followed the guide and cant figure this out. it was working with klipper! i got the M8P with tmc2209. any idea?...

SOLVED VAOC Suggests misalignment, But tension and skew seem fine. What else could be wrong?

Well I really need help with this VAOC thing... My offset keeps coming out to -1.3 Despite having decent x graphs on Belt tension and IS. Also my gantry def isn't racked. Both sides hit the front of the frame at the same time. What am I missing??? One nozzle is thicker than the other could that be it??

Printing Speeds past 150.

I haven't really been able to print anything faster that 150mm/s . I have tried, Elegoo rapid pla +, Elegoo Rapid PETG, Other PETG, Normal Elegoo PLA. The printer is pretty well tuned and my graphs look pretty good. The issue seems to be balancing Temperature, Fans, Speed, Extrusion Multiplier, and Pressure advanced, Retraction and detraction speed and length. It just seems that going faster makes it very inconsistent in how much plastic it is laying down. My filament is feeding from a drying chamber and all my filament is stored and dried before using. I am assuming that I am just butting my head up against the issues everyone has to figure out and balance but I want to ask if i am missing something. I like to make stuff from PETG, ASA or PLA. Is there a better manufacturer of those I should be using? is there maybe something wrong with how i have my feeder tightened or how much friction there is in the PTFE tube that feeds the plastic?...

Stepper missing steps?

Hey! Please help a noob! I am configuring a vcore 3.1 300x300, it’s a 2 years old kit that got shelved half assembled between house moves. Im doing the klipper configuration and I got stuck trying to do the z-tilt because randomly at every round it would position the probe in different points while registering the same coordinates....
Solution:
@TheTik thank you, I did that and it helped a bit. I also noticed that the right belt was a bit too tight and after loosening it the problem is gone 🫶 thanks

VC3.1 - SuperPinda - !! Retries aborting: Probed points range is increasing. -Z-Tilt Problem

I have been struggling for some time with a problem concerning the SuperPINDA probe which is becoming increasingly annoying. The problems mainly occur during the Z-Tilt procedure. Sometimes I have to run the print 2-3 times to get the levelling to fit within the limit of 0.012. It also happens that it is not until the 8th-9th time that the bed is leveled correctly. If the probe fails to make the correct alignment, I get the message: "Retries aborting: Probed points range is increasing." ...

Printing issues on new 500 IDEX

Crash after running belt tension test

it runs through all the frequencies then shuts down with "MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Timer too close" and "Unable to obtain 'spi_transfer_response' response" in console generate input shaper graphs runs perfectly fine watching through ssh the 4th core(?) spikes to 100 when this happens, temps and ram seems normal I am running on btt cb1 I am unsure which log files to upload so please do tell if needed...
Solution:
forgot about this for a while, i guess i could consider this solved not necessarily a solution to the original issue per say but i was able to run Shake&Tune's implementation of belt graphing without issues https://github.com/Frix-x/klippain-shaketune...
