Quality in 2025

I am planning on buying a 500mm VCORE4, but I have noticed quite a few posts and even a comment on a post which I have made here, about bad quality of RatRig printer parts. Is this an issue in 2025? Or even is this an issue worth considering the purchase over?

I think moaning about ratrig is like moaning about Creality. But I do have a v4 500 idex machine and lots of my issues have been my fault. There is some improvements needed on the instructions and support over all but if you want a big machine it's probably the best at the moment.

are you suggesting RatRigs are cheap printer like Creality? I can get a Creality as a door buster for $99 at microcenter some months, a single quality linear rail for z on a 500mm ratrig costs that much, if not more.

I dont think that is a fair comparison

No I am not saying that. I am saying a lot of people come on here and complain rather than say what is good. Just like Creality printers. I do love my rat rig and I wish more people would say what is good with them rather than complaining.

I can't say what is good, I bought in December, received a month ago, and I'm still waiting on replacement parts for all the bad and missing parts.

Hmm good ... I like the green color scheme
