The steel bottom plate needs to be changed in the future by adding an Ethernet port so those using wired networking can connect a network cable to the pi. My solution was to modify and print one to hold a panel mounted ethernet extension cable. Now I can plug in a network cable to the pi without having to leave the cover loose to snake a cable inside.
I think it would be a good idea to supply some guide clips that are "deeper", along with the standard ones (maybe 6 of them). The main harness coming from the toolhead along its cover wrap can be quite thick and the standard clips are difficult to use with that. Also there is a lot of wire slack so those folded wires could benefit from deeper clips. (unless you are going to shorten all those wires yikes!)
Be nice if these were ever mentioned again. I guess they are for IDEX only. They are disabled in RATOS by default, and no information on how to use them. Unless it is in the IDEX guide which I don't have so I didn't read.
No don't use ratos 2.02 for the vcore4 you need to get ratos 2.10-RC2 (at the time of this post) for the vcore4. It is located on the github releases page.
Well when installing the nozzle you need to set the rapido to 285c and then apply the specified torque (can't recall the number off of the top of my head). So you can screw it in at this point, but more work to be done once the printer is up and running.
I have created a remote power switch mount for the vcore4, search for it on printables. You'll need to route 2 pair (line and neutral) of wires to and back from the switch. One pair from the power input in the enclosure to the switch, and one pair from the other side of the switch back to the power supply (and fuse). I used 14 gauge wire and it fit easily inside the 3030 rails to hide the wire, using the stock clips.
I have other vcores and yes the fan turns on at 100% when I power on because it's wired like this. But I actually like it, because I know when the printer is fully booted up without looking at my computer or phone, because the fan shuts off at that time. Also my vcores are enclosed and if you have the enclosure fully closed up at power on, it's relatively quiet.

Thanks mrpomme that explains why I couldn't flash via DFU, the octopus needs 24v, not 5v when flashing via DFU.

Speaking of 6mm black washers, my kit was short of them. I needed about 6 more than I got. Fortunately I had them on hand from previous Vcore builds.

Should be 4 wire clips correct? Missing arrow on left side.
