As the owner of a fully upgraded Voron V2.4R2, I am very impressed by the design of the V-Core 4! You guys have done a great job addressing the weak points of the V-Core 3 by adding useful new features and quality of life improvements. RatOS looks amazing, as does the IDEX and Hybrid setups. Looking forward to learning more about them!

I can't believe how good this is. I love every bit of your new design. This is going to be my next printer. Thanks for your work.

Congrats guys !!! VERY solid product !

I've built a 300 and 500 vc3, and a v0. I use the 300 all the time, 500 for large parts, and v0 is basically just toolbox decoration at this point. That being said, i will probably go for a 300 hybrid. I would really like to have 300x300x400

​@@travistucker7317 Do you notice a difference in speed and acceleration on the 500 mm version compared to the 300 mm?

@travistucker7317

27 күн бұрын

@philippschafer180 300 can definitely go faster before artifacts start showing up. I think the hybrid is a very good solution for the larger machines. Mass is obviously an issue, but so is belt length. I run mine relatively slowly compared to most people you see around here. 300 is between 80-200mm/s at 2-20k accel and 500 is 60-150 at 1-8k accel. About 3x normal mk3s speed. My 300 has a hf rapido, and could still go faster with uhf.

Such a beautiful piece, well done RatRig 💯

I am so excited for this machine! I had a Qidi Q1 that sucked, I returned it and now i’m going to not cut corners and get me a real machine. Thank you for all the hard work ratrig team!

You and I chatted for a bit at Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival and I genuinely think you were one of 3 booths that actually truly interested me there. Hope you’re faring well and jet lag treats you well, I can’t wait to see what you are doing next! 🐀rigs forever!

I'm really curious of the benefits of "hybrid mode" over simply replacing the current motor to a stronger higher performance motor? Seems like the hybrid mode complicates the design quite.

Watching this new video makes one point very clear ........ I WANT ONE !!!!

Firstly thank you for coming this far for what to me seems like should be an even bigger event. Maybe I just expected even more popularity than the niche I’m getting myself into here. I’m furthermore surprised that you have only 11k subscribers. As a proud American with a small amount of self awareness I do hope you had some choice dirty words for Walmart etc… some of the “idiosyncrasies” we have here are very well deserving of ridicule as I’m sure you know. Thank you for your hard work and that of your colleagues and will be ordering v4 as soon as my name comes up in the wait list. really is starting to look like the open source future that some programmer friends convinced me to keep my eyes on back in ~03. So few still seem to grasp the potential of what you/they are doing. Gonna need a mill too. RATM said “f the g ride I want the machines that are makin em”. Cheers.

Incredible!!! You are amazing and unstoppable!!

I so want a 500x500 version...eventually. Building a print farm in the near future and looking at what printers I could use. So far considerations are the obvious X1C, Voron 2.4's and the Rat Rigs are looking like another possibility instead of going with Neptune 4 Max's for the "large" printers.

It was great seeing y'all in Colorado! You convinced me to get V-Core 4 instead of Voron Clone.

Hybrid mode is such a good idea! Great Job!

Great looking printer. Look forward to seeing more, and seeing what others builds and thoughts on them.

Oh man. Awesome. I am so thrilled! I ordered mine during early bird phase and I am so curious and keen to get this machine right to my workbench. Wow. I definitely will go for the hybrid and IDEX version later on. 100%. I think it will be an incredible new experience building this biest and let go wild ;) The new design is incredible cool. I just love it. Well done, RatRig Team.

Now that's looks like a awesome printer, very exciting. Wonder what shipping will cost to South Africa. Love to get one. Awesome

Thanks for showing more detail! I had an order in the cart for the early bird special, but did not complete it in time. Now I have it on the list, wanted to see more before committing

Awesome videos and awesome V-Core 4 - can’t wait. My personal highlight so far this year 👍

Will it be a toolchanger style multi material or the purge filament type? Either way, even if it is purge, being able to use IDEX with it would be insanely good.

Very cool, i am locking forward to see what the costs are.

Look's very good but curios about IDEX VAOC: 1. The camera for the VAOC will be close to the bed, and enclosed. Most cameras work up to 60 degrees Celsius and I'm interested only in engineering materials, that require 115 degrees bed - how will that work? 2. When released, will the IDEX require reservations? Obviously you won't have enough for all sold V-Cores 4, so how can one reserve upfront an IDEX?

It will be offered as an upgrade kit at a later time.

Will the upgrade kit work for a VCast IDEX to CVORE 4? it has the upgraded 8mm bed which I believe is the V-Core 3 bed? It has an octopus with kipper. Maybe with some additional Steppers? I like what I am hearing about not leaving previous purchasers behind. AS a VCast owner, I feel I have. (Tall Wide IDEX).. so hope to move to a Vcore 4.

Yippie - Reservation done ☺ Time to release the beast. 😀

Soo sick, love the new v core 4

I wonder when idex will be released

Reserved my 500! Couldn't find the IDEX-kit in the reservation, but I'm guessing it could be added later? Please make a video with the 500, I want to see that big beautiful baby in the flesh!

Wondeful, grat machine!

The hybrid system will also be available on the IDEX model, (2 ADDITIONAL MOTORS FOR Y AXIS)?

All the demo videos have shown the Hybrid and the IDEX system on presumably the 300mm size printer. Are these installable on the 400 and 500mm machines as well? I assume they are?

Ooo now that's an interesting idea. I might actually steal this one from you. Get some drawer slides of course, maybe print brackets to hold them to the extrusions. Might be awfully heavy though. Trouble is there is alot of wires to put into the umbilical and any quick disconnect means you use.

@miklschmidt

I’ve explained this quite a few times: that’s actually not the case. Hybrid scales Y performance linearly, AWD doesn’t. Also they’re not mutually exclusive, you can do Hybrid AWD if you wanted. Besides that AWD requires pulley syncing, and doesn’t allow for the drop-in upgrades. It’s much more complicated and doesn’t do as much for larger machines as Hybrid does.

@karellen00

With AWD you get more power for both X and Y, but only Y needs more. Also AWD makes more complex transitioning from regular to Idex and you have more bulk on the front
