VCore 3.1 500 high mesh range
Hey guys,
I'm currently struggeling a lot with my mesh on my Vcore as its pretty far out of range.
I installed the Spannsysteme X-Gantry right from the start.
I already followed the most instrucions given but still got about 0,5mm of range.
What I did so far:
Followed the often linked Video to allign the Y & X rails
opened the complete X-Gantry assembly when hot as it expanded a bit while heating and got cricked
shimmed the X-Rail against the profile as it was still bent when heated (Measured with a high percision straight edge)
(Pictures are labled on what I did)
Can i go with a 0,499 range?
Does the mesh probing right bevore the print actually "fill" and "exclude" the first layer? I got the Problem that my nozzle even when perfectly z-compensated to my BL-Touch still runs into the bed when hitting a high spot and clogs the whole nozzle.
Already thanks for your help and time!

Hi There, I am having the same issue as you and ask for help in the group. So far, I didn't find any solutions. Did you ? Thank you
Here is my non-pro response.....😀
0.499 is workable but not great if you printing low-tolerance "Engineering" parts. For cosmetic items, you could say it is ok.
However, from what Understand. Ratrig aims for below 0.300 tolerance as their level of acceptance (on the bed only....not with flex plate).
I am aiming for around 0.200 but have seen others with even better (but they have beds engineered by specific engineering works)
From your pics, I say you are worse on shimmed solution. Your "Heated, flex plate on, stressed releaved" pic has a better and smoother range. However, the gantry is still the problem here and you to check this (I hear that you have "stress releaved", but if this is the case, the gantry is not great at all).
The fact that you shimming the X-Gantry says there is an issue and you should sort this out first. "Spannsysteme X-Gantry" and X-Rail should be very straight. I use the Standard Ratrig X-Gantry aluminum and have less of a bow than yours.
