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 ?

Cant turn on VAOC Led

Hi, I wanted to calibrate my idex300 with the vaoc, but I'm not able to turn the LED on. I checked every cable and pin placement and measured the + / - pin with a multimeter on the connector of the led and it says 5V. In my printer config is no definition for the vaoc led (expect the macros). Is there anything missing or needed to be added? The camera itself is running fine. Thanks for the help...

Error loading kinematics 'ratos_hybrid_corexy' after hard recovery of klipper

Hi i got "corrupt" on klipper software so i run hard recovery and now my klipper reports ERROR as in tittle "Error loading kinematics 'ratos_hybrid_corexy'".... What should i do?

Temperature readings from hotend thermistor wrong/inverted

So I have the ratrig v-core 4 400mm. Did most of the hardware aaaaages ago and only got around to trying to configure the software recently. At powerup the hotend cooling fan ramps up as high as it'll go, and reportted temp in the web interface is 130C. I've removed the jumper to see how that affects it and it then hovers at 150C. Heating up the hotend caused the temperature to drop rather than increase. Is there something configured wrong somewhere? I've also measured the resistance when not in the system and am getting around 1kOhm, same as another rapido hotend that i just took out of its' box...
Solution:
ahh im an idiot, had the wrong hotend selected in the config

1st layer inconsistency

I'm having trouble getting a good consistent first layer. Sometimes it's ok other time I gotta restart the print. I get some ribboning it's usually after 20-30 lines. Even baby stepping doesn't really fix my issue

Why is my Z-Tilt only hitting 2 of 3 corners

vCore 4 IDEX 400 When i first powered it up i had no issues and everything seemed good to go. now it will home no issues, park the T1 and move T0 to the front left, ...

Orbiter 2 smart sensor fialment does not unload

Since i installed my orbiter 2 smart sensor on my v core 4 I have problems unloading filament, it seems there is a small blob in the end of the filament getting stuck in the entrance (from inside) to the sensor, and this happens every time. I Have searched the forums but can't find anyone else describing the same problem. Do I need to change the unload macro or is there something wrong with my sensor?

What is my belt tensioning graph telling me?

I added a beacon a few weeks ago, and cant seem to get my tension right after.. how come i get 3 peaks? are both at the right tension, but just need a fine tune? or are the to tight or to loose?

VAOC no stream detected

So I am setting up a VCORE 4 IDEX 500. I set up the VAOC no stream detected. hooked up to a PC and it would detect but no display. Ordered a new 3d0 camera from frabreeko. Installed a new board and now it displays on my PC but I still get no stream detected on the printer. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Solution:
So this problem is 2 fold. The first VAOC cam board was bad. Mix in the fact that I forgot to put the jumper from the Raspberry pi to the hub hat and lastly the VAOC will not work unless plugged into the 3.1 port of the pi itself. It will not work on the hat usb terminals. but it will be detected.

I accidentaly took out the metal sheet on top of the bed when I was trying to put axes to home

I am already trying to print the 3d parts that are broken, What steps should i do next?

Lost communication with Toolboard

I am bringing up a v-chonk with standard parts including skrat 1.0, and EBB42 V1.2 . All the components appear to be working: I can home, extrude, generate a height map and run the other calibration macros. But when I try to print anything the pi loses communication with the toolboard just after the prime_blob is started and the z axis starts to rise. It is very repeatable; not at all random. So far I have: -changed the Pi from a 3 B+ to a 4 -changed the USB cable to a higher quality...

Printer stopping mid-print

So, my printer just started stopping mid print for no apparent reason, and always stops at the same spot. At first I thought it was something to do with the sd card but I bought a new one and nothing changed. There is no errors, no warnings, and the print acts like it still going on but no flow or speed obviously (see image). ...

Input Shaper bad Y

Hey everyone, I just converted a core XY printer to klipper and use the accelometer of a beacon Rev. H for belt tension and Input Shaper. I've fairly got some experience with building 3d printers and also with klipper, but I can't get rid of this 125Hz peak on the Y axis. The X looks absolutely dope with 15k mzv. I aligned and squared the gantry, made sure that belt tension is equal, zip tied everything that could move and checked every screw. I'd like to at least get below 1.5% vib and over 5k...

Smart sensor always showing empty, even though the LED switches to green just fine

Hey guys, been setting up my Orbiter Smart Sensor yesterday, made all the connections fine, it also did work yesterday with PETG. Now today I decided to swap to PLA, and since then, the lights on the Sensor are Green with filament, Red without, unloading and tangle also both work. On the Mainsail interface however, the sensor now shows as always empty, is there any files where I can see if its actually transmitting data to the mainboard? Thx...
Solution:
somehow switching PB3 and PB4 in the config did the trick

Linear rail not sitting flat

I'm in pursuit of getting a really solid mechanical starting point, I've always just 'solved it in software' before. This time I'm aiming for a sub 0.1mm spread across the bed, if I can get it. I'm edging closer with the creation of some jigs to make minor adjustments, but I think I'm now being hamstrung by a linear rail that just doesn't want to sit flat across the extrusion, as per the bed scan image. My feeling is that the low points are likely a cause of the linear rail not sitting nicely, too. As the image shows, the right (as you look at the front of the printer) Y linear rail now seems reasonably well situated/tuned in terms of the frame. Similarly, both corners of the 'left' Y linear rail are close to the same plane. Any pro tips on resolving this? I'd like to avoid shimming if at all possible. So far, I've been using the standard guide rail jigs, loosening all screws off (except the rear end) and then untightening all the way, before gently tightening down (so as to allow the t-nut to move inside the channel and properly grip), before tightening fully and moving on to the next one. The thought process being that this would prevent any squeezing of the rails between the two end points. Perhaps I should also try starting from the middle and moving out in each direction one by one......

Move Out of Range Error When Measuring T1 Belt Tension

Hi Guys, this error started popping up every time I try to measure the T1 belt tension on my V-Core 4 IDEX. It didn’t happen before, but it started after I installed all the updates. I have also re-tensioned the belts. Please take a look at the error message in the attached picture. I have no idea what’s causing it. T0 works without any issues. ...

What is this click moving x axis? A dead bearing?

For a few days now I have been hearing a noise when T0 moves on the x-axis. Does this mean that a bearing has died? V-Core 4.0 400 IDEX...
Solution:
locktite is your friend, I would put a dab on the screws so they don't back out

IDEX - Nidec and Sanyo 4028 fans - different rpm

Hi, i just assembled V4-300- IDEX but in the package there were different 4028 fans. Nidec and Sanyo. During the commissioning part i found out that they have different rpms. Just from my feel T0 when has 40%, T1 has to be at 25% to be same ( just for compare ) EDIT: I found out in fan spec. that Nidec has 1,61A, Sanyo has 1,3A. Any ideas how to solve it ? ...

Vcore 4 500mm heatbed stopped heating?

After 56 hours of total print time my bed has stopped heating. I've swapped the relay out of my vcore 3.1 and still it don't heat up. Without the bed being set a temperature it looks like the output of the relay is about 200v even when it's off! I tried re-wiring and moving things about and nothing has improved. In the end I took the bed out of my vcore 3.1 and wired it into the vcore 4 and on the relay output its reads 0v and then when set a temperature it reads 230v as expected.
Not really sure what to do next. Last night it had been printing fine. Went to print today and dead bed.. I wired the 500mm bed back in and with the bed heater set to 0c it reads 208v....

Print head juts along y when x is moved /vice versa

I haven't seen it do this before but since I replaced my belts it's been doing this. Was told it migbt be too tight but I feel like if I go any more loose the head will be free floating.
