Rat Rig 500mm V-Core 3.1 Standard Kit (Includes Enclosure 2.0)

Are you looking to buy a Rat Rig 500mm V-Core 3.1 Standard Kit in Australia?

The V-Core 3 is a premium DIY kit for a CoreXY 3D Printer with no compromises. Learn everything about the V-Core 3 on the dedicated project page: v-core.ratrig.com.

Our kit includes ASA Rat Rig in house printed parts and also includes 1 bag of 50pcs M3xD4.6xL4 Threaded Knurled Heatset Inserts - You will require around 45 of these to install the EVA Toolhead.

We sell this kit with the included new Enclosure 2.0 as we assume you will want this to print ABS temps and beyond. Although it includes Enclosure 2.0 this does not mean panels are included so there are a few options for customers on how you build the kit.

Option 1 - You don't use panels to mount your electronics. Rat Rig did this for all their production builds so it's definitely possible however for ease of building we do not recommend this option.

Option 2 - You self-source your own panels

Option 3 - You buy our Rat Rig 3.1 Electonic Panels in Black Acrylic 3mm, and mount your electronics to the acrylic. It comes in four pieces (split panels) so that it can ship with your kit in the same box. (Full-size panel does not fit in for transit) - Please note there is a 1 week lead time before we ship as they are cut to order and we will ship this WITH YOUR 3.1 KIT (1 wk delay) Also note that if you are going for a full enclosure for ABS/ASA etc you should consider Option 4, not this one.

Option 4 - You purchase our full Rat Rig Polycarbonate Panel Kit - 4mm which includes the whole panel kit which has the full-size electronics panel required. ETA is May 2023 for delivery on this panel kit, we will ship it separately to your 3.1 Kit.

WARNING: This build requires a Raspberry Pi, but the kit currently doesn't include one!

Before buying this kit please note the following disclaimers/information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. If you have never touched a 3D printer, do not buy this kit.
2. This is a significant project/build to undertake. DC electronics, advanced 3D printer knowledge is recommended. It is assumed you know how to crimp cables, own a crimper. Experienced Rat Rig builders take 25-30 hours to complete a build. It's not uncommon for first-time builders to be taking 40-50 hours before everything is complete and ready to print.
3. It is recommended you read the assembly manual in completion before committing to purchase and build a kit.
4. Please note that we do not provide technical / building support via phone - We only support questions/support via email & discord.

This "Standard Kit" is meant for users who are unsure about which configuration options to choose, and are above all else interested in acquiring a kit as complete as possible, including all necessary electronics, and with proper documentation to guide them from beginning to end. If you're not feeling particularly adventurous, this is the V-Core 3 "walled garden" - this is where we recommend you should stay if you're just starting out and need someone to hold your hand and show you the way! ;)
