Julian I have not done idex yet so have no idea what to even look for yet. I have been traveling a lot for work and just got most of the parts I needed to do idex. Waiting on some replacement rapido parts as I broke my existing hot end in a crash with a wrapped print. Hopefully have time Thanksgiving week to do the upgrades I have planned and then install idex.

I crashed my nozzle into a warped print and cracked the heat break and I was getting the same thing. Is your nozzle tight and not wobbly?

I am going to upgrade those as well. I have had an issue with my left y rail since day one. If its tensioned in a certain way it rattles inside the carriage for some reason. I just gave up on getting it perfect as my accel's were decent but with tearing this thing down to do the toro tube and idex I am just upgrading everything for piece of mind

yah not sure. I dont think that is causing the bulk of the problems we are seeing by any means as it is consistent in certain parts of the prints where we see problems.

Interesting. How tight is your x linear rail rotating wise? I know on my vc3.0 it was fairly loose and the umbilical always seemed to cause problems for me so I went to a drag chain and I felt that it helped. I just noticed on my kids minion the X has gotten really sloppy so I have a new chinese hiwin rail coming in the next day or two. For my VC4 its better but not supper tight so I bought a real hiwin rail for the X and that should be here next week. So I have IDEX, toro ti rail, hiwin x rail and heavy duty idlers to upgrade the printer with when I get some time.

are you guys running scan compensation? I just got my beacon / first layer tuned last night after upgrading from early september code and wiping out all of mesh / beacon config. https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1246562369513984100/1296851962545045514

its weird as my kids (11 and 13yo) talk more in metric than they do in imperial. I have started trying to use metric more, first due to this hobby but also its a hell of a lot easier designing wood working projects (my other hobby) in metric than in fractions of an inch

Yes that does. Sorry there are a lot of posts to catch up on here. Been traveling for work and not had much time to play with the printers.

Sitting at the airport in Seattle waiting to fly home to San Francisco and just skimming through the thread. Is there a chance that the hot end is heating up and warping the toolhead plate and not the gantry and that is causing what you guys are seeing? I know the gantry itself is going to get some warping in general but wondering if the toolhead plate could be adding to this.

I would be careful with reverse fan setups as these fans are not rated to handle that hot of air coming off the hot end. I suspect it will shorten their life expectancy

Connection via CANawa

I dont know what input voltage the one you linked needs but if its not 5v or 24v you may need to use that little power transformer that comes with it and thats a pain.
