V-CORE 4 IDEX IS NOW AVAILABLE!

_______________________
The long-awaited V-Core 4 IDEX upgrade is finally here! We just published all related documentation, including the new 3D CAD Model, all the relevant STL files, the Bill of Materials and the step-by-step build guide at docs.ratrig.co....
Don’t forget that the Hybrid upgrade is a prerequisite to buy IDEX! You can’t install IDEX without acquiring the Hybrid upgrade kit first. So if you’re buying the V-Core 4 for the first time and want an IDEX machine, make sure to select both upgrades on the product configurator.

Drop in.. how you drop in second linear rail carriage without dismounting x axis 😂

@tg_73 Месяц назад

On a 500, this can be done by lust loosening the rail with the toolhead at one end, then there's enough range of movement to add the second carriage on the other end. I removed my extra carriage this way. On smaller machines, I think this won't be possible, but I don't know.

Bro wtf if you got to the point where you want to upgrade the printer that means you got it running in the first place, so adding another head won't really be that hard 🤦

@nanobot5365 Месяц назад

When you release the multicolor upgrade can you install it on both toolheads? ore by 2 and when one reloades the other one prints?

@BackwoodsTinkerer Месяц назад

Im not going to lie... Looks like ill be cancelling my pre-order this week. I was the most excited ive ever been for something but i just saw its going to cost almost $500 shipped for what equates to just a second toolhead assembly (pre-order was for a hybrid) is steaight up greed. For $500 i can buy an entire second printer from someone else. Im really bummed to see the pricing. Im even more bummed to have this excitement squashed, but i just refuse to support greed and bloated pricing.

@petermosinski 29 дней назад

Where is the shipping to and what is the weight, is it the whole printer? You should know this is increasingly common especially with international shipping or large items. I’ve had to ship things items via freight and occasionally the shipping costs more than the item itself

@peterrichards1989 28 дней назад

Wait for a local distributor to stock it, and the shipping should be much less.

@fns58 26 дней назад

They are not only charging for the hardware and assembly, but to cover for all the R&D needed to get to this point. They must have run their numbers and ended up happy with this value. Either they don't expect to sell as much as it cost to develop or they want to make up for it as fast as possible as anyone can come up with a better alternative anytime. But it is true that for this price you can almost buy two whole Bambu A1's or one P1S. They cannot be compared as they are in two complete different leagues. RatRig is a small company of 25 employees that generates less than 5M USD and Bambu's revenue was 1.5B in 2023

@lachau818 Месяц назад

So if I'm ordering a completely new printer, and I click the "customize and add to cart" everything check is what I need to have a complete basic printer right? I don't need what is not check by default right? Like I don't need the "1 x Bed Plate - Cast tolling plate" or the "1 x RASBERY PI"? So to get it with IDEX I would need to check "...HYBRID Upgrade Kit", and all 4 items in the IDEX section?

@Vaynexx_ Месяц назад

You do. I do understand that the ordering process is a bit confusing. For the Vcore4 the only thing that is selected by default is the mecanical kit (extrusions, linear rails, etc). You have to check every item you need for the 3d printer separately. You need to select the extruder, hotend, motors, and so on. As a rule of thumb, just check everything, and go from there. You can unselect some parts, because you may have them already at home (I already had fans and the Z motors, so i did not order them) To own a ratrig is pretty involved. I would NOT recommend it as a first printer.

@Pumpkinwaffle Месяц назад

@Vandel212 Месяц назад

That stopper to prevent the nozzle from leaking is genius. So simple and then you don't have to go through all of the extra steps to purge the nozzle before continuing. Probably speeds up the process a ton. I can see basically every MM system stealing this idea (assuming it's not patented).

@JH-zo5gk Месяц назад

This isnt novel to this printer. Tridex wipers and ooz gaurds have been a thing for a while. Think the svo8 has then too even.

Is there a hybrid to idex upgrade kit available? I don't see it on the website

@demidermak713 Месяц назад

If i want IDEX on the Vcore 4, do I need the Electronics bundle too? I do not think I have much I could use from my own parts

@Vaynexx_ Месяц назад

On the product page for the IDEX upgrade, there is a BOM to show what each "package" includes. It is stuff like the Orbiter, Hotend, Toolboard, Stepper Driver, etc. AFAIK RatRig strongly reccomends to have identical hotends and extruders.

@ilovetechnology8436 Месяц назад

@@Vaynexx_ Yes, there is a BOM, but without knowledge what the contents of each hardware pack is I can't tell if I need the CAN toolboard from the second option or if it's included in the IDEX Hardware Pack v1.0. I've ordered just the IDEX Upgrade Kit v1.0 (Hybrid to IDEX), but I'm not certain this is enough. Can anyone confirm ?

@Vaynexx_ Месяц назад

@@ilovetechnology8436 AFAIK the toolboard and other toolhead electronics (extruder, hotend, fan, etc) is not includet in the 130€ Idex upgrade kit. For a full second toolhead you pay about 400€ i think. You have to get the hardware kit, the electonics etc

Now just upgrade the build plate so it has multiple heating zones and I will spend my nights dreaming about this instead of a Prusa XL.

@JH-zo5gk Месяц назад

They are really completely different machines tho. XL is a tool changer and that is a loy slower then ratos quick swap is. Pluses and minuses to both but once they figure out MMC iDex it will be kinda game changing, more or less instant material changes. This is what I've been trying to get my tridex to do with ERCFs but I'm too dumb. I don't think multi zone heating is needed on a < 500mm build plate. The zones would be so small and the chonky bed would soak up the heat so fast it would run 100% none stop.

@T313COmun1s7 Месяц назад

@@JH-zo5gk you have to separate the bed too with a little space between. This allows for expansion and keeps the bed flat. Large beds when heated want to warp. Also, why heat the entire bed when you are only printing on a small area. The additional power cost is large and unnecessary.

@nunopereira6092 Месяц назад

@@T313COmun1s7 if you're using a big printer just to use a small section of the bed for small prints, you're better off just buying a smaller printer with less moving mass, therefore faster. Multiple heating areas in big, enclosed printers like the Prusa XL and the Voron Phoenix are cool gimnicks, that's all.

@nunopereira6092 Месяц назад

@@T313COmun1s7and i speak with experience having built all the Voron models, a Vcore 3 and lots of other printers since 2015.

@JH-zo5gk Месяц назад

@T313COmun1s7 the power cost? Eh. The few extra pennies spent are not really a factor once you $2500 into a printer. Besides we use the bed to heat the chamber by blow fans on it and I think most people are printing materials other then pla and petg on these so a heated chamber makes things much more better. Idk to each their own. I got this cause I like to tinker and wanted a large powerful machine. Also my 400mm build plate starts with a 0.07mm mesh at room temp and flattens to 0.06mm at 75c so warping isn't a issue with a well-made precision plate.
