vcore-idex

This is a temporary RatOS IDEX Implementation. It will be online until RatOS gets this feature

• all RatOS macros are idex friendly now, inclusive homing, sensorless homing, input shaper generation, belt tension macros, .....
• octopus v1.1 idex board configuration
• dual EBB42 toolboard config
• idex hardware configs
• based on ratos alpha4
• heats up extruder on demand
• can put extruders into standby mode
• works with or without purge tower

V-Core IDEX Toolchange Video

Issues

• no mirror or duplication mode yet
• no initial configuration script to choose from, when installing ratos
• there is no autoupdate for the two toolboards
• secondary toolboard needs to be flashed with a different name usb-Klipper_stm32g0b1xx_btt-ebb42-12b-if00 instead of usb-Klipper_stm32g0b1xx_btt-ebb42-12-if00

Hardware

• Left toolhead must be the Dual Carriage toolhead
• Right toolhead must be the X toolhead
• Name your extruders extruder and extruder1
• Name your toolboards toolboard and toolboardb
• Name your toolboard adxl adxl345 toolboard and adxl345 toolboardb
• Name your part cooling fans heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan and heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fanb
• Put the z-probe to the right toolhead, it lets you probe the whole bed this way

RatOS

• copy ratos-variables.cfg into your config folder
• Enter the offsets from the secondary toolhead, that doesnt has the probe, into the ratos-variables.cfg file

Toolhead control

• T0 and T1 changes the active toolhead
• PARK TOOLHEAD to park the active toolhead

Parking config

• Z HOP Z-Hop before parking
• Z SPEED Z-Speed for the Z-Hop
• RETRACT Retract in mm before Z-Hop
• USE STANDBY Reduces the extruder temp if a toolhead is in parking mposition, 0=off, 1=on, dont change mid print

Preextrude config

• EXTRUDE Extrude in mm before going back to the print job, enter 0 to deactivate this feature
• RETRACT Retract in mm after EXTRUDE and before going back to the print job
• FEEDRATE Feedrate for EXTRUDE and RETRACT AFTER

Input shaper and Belt Tension Macros

• FREQUENCY START sets the start frequency
• FREQUENCY END sets the end frequency
• TOOLHEAD if empty = all toolheads, or 0 or 1
• AXIS if empty = all axis, or X or Y

Load / Unload Filament Macros

• T the toolhead for the loading/unloading process, -1 all extruders simultaneously
• TEMP the temperature for the loading/unloading process

Prusa Slicer / Super Slicer

• Start G-Code

START_PRINT FIRST_LAYER_TEMP={first_layer_temperature} OTHER_LAYER_TEMP={temperature} BED_TEMP={first_layer_bed_temperature} INITIAL_TOOL={initial_tool} TOTAL_TOOLCHANGES={total_toolchanges} WIPE_TOWER={wipe_tower}

• End G-Code

END_PRINT

• Before layer change G-Code

_LAYER_CHANGE

• Tool change G-Code
