VC4 IDEX Endstop calibration test
Just for reference I built my Idex this last week and using the updated RatOS this was not an issue I had, my endstop values were within +-1mm of the above.

Crash during print: "Lost communication with MCU.
Mine is doing the same thing however never during a print, only on idle. I know its not your solution but if someone comes to this and has that, i have hopefully resolved it by putting a heat sink on the Octopus Pro main chip. Still testing, this fix, may need to just put the controller fan to always on.
Lost connection errors are such a b!tch to chase down the cause.

VAOC Chicago Bolt Doesn't Fit
Well if anyone else has this issue I re-modeled the VAOC body to use an M4x10 that you will likely have leftover from the hardware kit (belt clasp) It now has enough space to use for the endstop.

MCU Shutdown (only on idle) VC4
Octopus Pro. It has a power detect feature on J_35 but nothing is plugged in on that. I threw a heat sink on the main chip. The fans don't turn on to cool things unless it is printing. We'll see if that helps. if not maybe i'll set the cooling fans to be on all the time and try that.

PAUSE does not park, only raises Z height
I did a bunch of things too and fixed it. Also not entirely sure what was the trick.

The black Nozzle in the VC4 kit is a 0.6 Nozzle. It is very easy to forget to change it when setting up the printer. If you do your prints will look like this☝️

Looks like the configs are all using the Or 2 and the 1004. That’s not it.

I remember the VCore 3.1 did this same thing when I hadn’t set the extruder cfg. To the 1004 Is there the same issue on the VC4?

Z-Tilt makes it worse
ok, it worked, however just as i assumed, an hour later it is going back. I was at .237 after the pull and now 1.5 hour later it is back to .500
