Jamming around the same point in the print
I am trying to print a very important part, but my extruder keeps stripping the filament and stops extruding around 2 hours into the print. I have tried different gcode for the same part, so I don’t think it’s a problem there. The nozzle is not clogging because if I push the filament after it strips then it grabs the filament again and keeps going. Vcore 4 500 hybrid with rapido 2 UHF and orbiter 2. I have heard about a bad batch of rapidos, is this a sign of that? And if so is there and short t...
Solution:
Turns out I have a defective thermistor, so I was printing far to cold and the extruder couldn’t push the filament through

Vcore 4 Endstop issue
I have tried everything i know how to at this point....
the y endstop is the one ive focused on trying fixing of the ones that say triggered.
I have tried a new cable for endstop Y. Still says Triggered
I have tried one of the other end stops that worked like the endstop X in its place. endstop Y till says triggered.
I have tried a new Cable for both end stops one that works and the one that is unsure at this point if it worked. both say triggered and dont change to open when clicked....
Bed/Gantry Leveling VCore 4 IDEX 500
I am having a hard time leveling the bed on my VCore 4 IDEX 500. During the commissioning process, I tried to follow the directions and lower the extrusions at the rear to get rid of the low spots. However, even with a lot of movement, I wasn't able to get less than ~0.55. (See image w/tape for how far I tried moving them.)
After going through the rest of the commissioning steps relatively fruitfully, I found that my prints were failing oddly (see below) and thought the bed leveling may have been leading to the issue.
Therefore, I tried returning to the bed leveling efforts. I tried releasing all the downward tension I had put on the extrusions, and as is visible in the images ("RealseTension"), it gave me the same range and shape as always.After reading a couple threads on here I thought maybe it was the X-Axis, so I tried tightening it ("TightenedXAxis") and then fully loosing all screws and retightening ("ReattachedXAxis"). None of this seems to make a real difference in the shape of the bed - and annoyingly the final solution is even worse....
Solution:
I ended up using some shim stock from amazon to level the X-axis. The more I thought about it the more it made sense the issue was a warped X-axis or bed because the curvature in X is consistent front to back. The front to back lean comes from the Z-tilt calibration trying to enforce a plane across its three measurement points. So if the middle is higher the rear value will be off and cause the while thing to tilt.
I created a quick spreadsheet to find an average offset value for the area between each bolt on the X rail and then shimmed between each of the bolts. I ended up having to make small changes about 6 times before I got something I am happy with (partly because using snips on the shim stock caused the edges to be a little thicker than the rest of the shim). may revisit at some point as still not perfect but I have other issues to chase now....
bed flat/even but bed mash shows different
Hi hope hope anyone can help menwit an idea what the reason could be . Ratrig 3.1 400 Ratos 2.1 with beacon . I installed a new images set all up calibrated the beacon bed mash around 0.3 ( see picture) after some testprints i played a bit around with the bed mashed and get from one mash to the next 1,2mm but in an angle from front to back . checked multiple times allwas around that result . i checked the distances nozzle bed in all corners and all the same the the shown bedmash is wrong . i recalibrated the beacon a few times allways the same result . tried a print one side in air one side nearly milled into the plate . i habe no idea anymore what else i can try only changes on the beacon i did was changing the offset to 30 ( also changes back no difference) and to invrease the ponts in xand y . I realy hope on someone with an idea

Very stange Bed Mesh ....
Dear all,
I got some really strange Bed mesh ,,, both on the bare aluminium plate and also with PEI applied. looks like a trench which is a bit falling towards the rear.
already re-tightend the MGN12 X-rail .... in the end always the same. Any idea what could be wrong with my gantry? Overall its 0.166mm on a Vcore 400...
BedMesh both COLD & HOT show too great of range tolerance?
Hello All-
After much trouble of sorting out a bad MCU board, I'm going through the paces of commissioning and tweaking. While creating my BED_MESH readings & calibrations I noticed that my textured bed on my RatRig VCore 3 shows quite a large mound or distance above the level plane. Should I be concerned about this? The variance levels to me look too far above the level plane to be usable...what can or should I do to correct this? 2 screenshots with all the numbers showing for comparison....
beacon Probe Sample spread too large
I keep getting this error. I have checked all possible causes multiple times, tightened all screws several times, and inspected everything. When I perform the calibration cold, it works and completes successfully. However, when heating up and the measurement is taken, the calibration fails every time. I have already brought the system up to operating temperature to eliminate deformations, but the problem persists. Any solutions ?
