¶ Introduction
Here you will find the main resources for the V-Core 4.1, including the CAD model, Bill of Materials, enclosure panels, and printed parts files.
¶ CAD Models
CAD models for all V-Core 4.1 sizes and variants are available through the Rat Rig Fusion 360 online viewer.
Size 300: CoreXY | Hybrid | IDEX
Size 400: CoreXY | Hybrid | IDEX
Size 500: CoreXY | Hybrid | IDEX
- Open the web viewer for your variant to inspect the full assembly directly in your browser.
- Inside the viewer, you can download the complete model or individual components as needed using the download button in the top right corner.
- The CAD models can be used as a reference when building, servicing, or customizing your machine.
¶ Bill of Materials
Official BOM V-Core 4.1
Official BOM V-Core 4.1 - Upgrade Kit
- The official BOM spreadsheet is available for all V-Core 4.1 variants.
- Please be aware that the machine size affects the lengths of some components such as extrusions, linear rails, lead screws and wiring.
- The hardware packs are universal for all sizes.
¶ Enclosure Panels
V-Core 4.1 - Enclosure Panel Files
- DXF and STEP files for the V-Core 4 panels.
- Please note that the V-Core 4.1 uses the same panels as the V-Core 4.0.
- The design is intended to use 4mm thick polycarbonate panels.
¶ Printed Parts
- All files are provided in the correct orientation for printing on a standard FDM 3D printer.
- In general, the printed parts are quite forgiving but are also quite large.
- If you suffer from drafts and/or poor bed adhesion you may need to use brims/rafts for some parts to prevent warping.
¶ IDEX Printed Parts
-
If you are building the IDEX upgrade, make sure to also download the dedicated IDEX pack.
-
It includes the additional STLs required for the IDEX toolheads and VAOC.
-
Warning: The VAOC diffuser must be printed using white filament to ensure efficient light transmission. Failure to do so may result in suboptimal camera performance.
¶ Recommended Print Settings
- Perimeters: 4
- Line Width: 0.45 mm
- Layer Height: 0.2 – 0.3 mm
- Infill: 25%
- Supports: None
¶ Notes About Holes
- When slicing the files, some holes may appear covered.
- This is intentional to help the slicer create bridges and simplify the printing process.
- After printing, clear the holes using a screw, screwdriver, Allen key, or matching-size bolt.
