Regular surface distortion pattern towards end of larger first layers VC4
Everyone sticking their head in the sand and acting like it isn't a problem, or accepting that the only fix they are going to get is via a third party part lol

VC4 500 IDEX - 125hz Peak
Only really matters for small parts I guess, but the machine is fast so this affects a lot of one off prints.

That
Don't slow down for outer walls was huge. Keeps print speed above the VFA range for the VC4 steppers. Things got much cleaner.609 replies

Fast, lots of extrusion overlap for good overhang, pretty interesting profile

This is 316mm/s outside perimeters (max flowrate for this filament). It gets you past the VFA these steppers have

I think the biggest quality change I made for VC4 was forcing outside perimeters to print full speed, and if minimum layer time isn't hit it slows down on the infill

I had that when I was using the

If they are acting on it (better docs we've seen, hopefully improved printed part QC, etc), then great. If not, I will leave it up to someone else in the future to go into it. At this point I am pretty happy with the machine in Hybrid+CoreXY config, hopefully I can find a use for the spare parts I have from IDEX somewhere else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxR78WhgLEU I have marked my previous video as unlisted. It's still available in the description of this new video if anyone wants to hear my original gripes, but with Ratrig's recent actions (i.e., redo of the commissioning guide, hopefully more) I feel like it's not being productive beating them down further by leaving that up in the YouTube search.

Bridging can be a pain on 0.6, but blasting the cooling and going ultra slow cleans them up nice

I can highly recommend the 0.6 CHT. On this HTPLA+, max flow rate went from 25 to 32 - unless you're using CF filled or something lol

For this thread, being dedicated to the 125hz issue, I will do a follow up tonight probably. When I unIDEX'd my 125hz issue went away mostly, and now that I have a few hours of prints since that config went in place I need to check if it's still gone or crept back in.
