And here we go again... first layer problem even with beacon3D
This might sound weird but try giving your bed a good wash? I use "Spray Nine" cleaner/degreaser followed by a few damp paper towels to remove soap residue and finally a quick IPA (90%) wipe. I've been battling ripples for years and tried everything, a clean bed (combined with everything else) and I get a decent 1st layer. Dry filament, also helps

possible the latest updates borked Z Pinda detection?
Why did it crash into the bed? nothing changed! What can break on a Z probing head crash, can the Orbiter 2 be toast, metal toolhead plate bent, nozzle broken, heatbreak, I have no clue!!

I hate this printer! absolutely nothing I've learned over the past 2 years is working, since the head crash due to random failure of the pinda, i can no longer get a first layer, I rebuilt the Rapido, remeshed, etc and it poops out filament right around the nozzle!

not sure what happened but probe had to be reseated, it was tight but for some reason the probe became less sensitive and had to be lowered a hair, weird, hoping those fragile titanium screws in the Rapido arent broken again!!

Prints often fail at this Z height
Z hop at .2 still failed and the nozzle hit the supports at the exact same later. I'm wondering if it could just be retraction settings since beta v2 toolhead uses UHF by default? I will try some retraction tests.

Rapido Heatbreak
Rapido is a mess! I dont know if I'm losing faith in RatRig altogether or just Rapido. Its becoming a "when in doubt re-build/buy your hotend" situation, quick! One such re-buy was a bed crash due to faulty adaptive-mesh code, I'm in about $2500 for this printer so far and could have had 3 Bamboo's or K1s cranking shit out for a year now!

Priming & Printing with .6 nozzle
Anyone know the diameter of the Rapido UHF nozzle that comes with the RatRig VCore 3.1 default kit, is it the .6? I am struggling to get the UHF nozzle to print anything. I thought it was .6 but I am at a loss to figure out what is wrong with my printer since the original post
