First layer issues after Ratrig Toolhead upgrade
So, I splurged and bought a new Ratrig Toolhead with all the bits & bobs. Rapido UHF, Orbiter 2, even got myself a beacon. Everything installed and homed in - and that is when the trouble starts.
For the love of me I cannot get a decent first layer. The blob-tower nozzle wipe works fine, but already when printing the edge of a first layer it goes to pieces. The rim looks under extruded, and the nozzle starts to roll up the PLA. I'm lost - any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Belt slipping or stepper blocking?
I have a weird problem with my printer. I've had quite the rough ride with the upgrade to vCore 3.1 but managed to get it working. I've printed a bunch of files (PLA) and all seems well in paradise.
However - what happens now is the following. At random moments during a print (or sometimes even during the initial mesh) it sounds like one of the steppers just blocks and the X-Y messes up. It basically shifts a few steps to one side, resulting in failed prints (the center is no longer the center). Sometimes it happens during the mesh but sometimes it happens after printing a bunch of layers.
I've checked the grub screws, looked at belt tension, even double-checked the wiring - but I'm baffled. Anyone have an idea of what might be going on?
