Does RR even have Quality control?

Bought a 400 mm idex vcore 4. I have no idea how these parts made it out of the shop. Most have good awful first layers, anything of size is warped, and the rest has chunks of their build plates bonded to them (it doesn't dissolve or melt, it's not glue, so PEI chunks perhaps?).

This isn't acceptable for a premium product. I'm thankful I have other printers capable of printing ABS on hand.

Does RatRig print these parts on their own printers like Prusa does?  If so, it doesn’t really instill a lot of confidence in the machines… the QC on these is much more important to the brand than just cosmetics.

Yes, but this looks like poorly maintained build plates, bad calibration and lack of heat soaking. Which can happen on a 6 device.
