The same frame is used in all variants, which facilitates the interchangeability of the motion system within a brief timeframe and with minimal assembly complexity.

Extra Room can be used for:

The Universal frame allows for a much simpler enclosure:

Standard

• Single Toolhead
• CoreXY Kinematics

Hybrid

• Single Toolhead
• Hybrid CoreXY Kinematics
• (2 extra motors for Y axis)

IDEX

• 2 Independent Toolheads
• Hybrid CoreXY IDEX Kinematics

The V-Core 4 is built with precision milled 3030 T-Slot extrusions that, in conjunction with the quick connectors, make for a simple and self aligning frame assembly.

The included metal base plates improve assembly precision and stability!

Full metal motion system

Heavy Duty Linear Motion!

Improved bed mount, for a highly consistent and repeatable Z-Axis motion

Improved position accuracy with the Rat Rig Omron enstops

The faster, most reliable, most accurate.....The Beacon is now the standard probe for the V-Core 4, with a high-performance machine it only makes sense to use a high-performance probe!

The V-Core 4 uses the Rat Rig toolhead with optimized geometry, for even faster printing without compromises

The electronics now have a fully protected environment, with active cooling and cable management

RatOS

RatOS is now simpler than ever! Just select you hardware from the list in the visual interface and you are done, full klipper configuration under 5 minutes, More details here.

Live vibration data with the freshly introduced resonance analysis tool, a huge step forward in machine calibration and tuning! With big speeds comes great responsibility...

The V-Core 4 allows for a super easy IDEX upgrade, install it whenever the need arises

Ultimate time savings while printing, with the toolshift motion! Ultra-fast synchronised tool swapping

Full IDEX kit, Ready to melt filament!

Introducing the New, most accurate and most convenient XY nozzle calibration, VAOC! (visually assisted offset calibration)

This tool is built into RatOS and allows every user to perform a smooth and easy nozzle offset between toolheads in a matter of seconds, with extreme precision!

Full machine price has decreased when compared to V-Core 3, when you account for all items:
