Just finished building this beast. It's a ratrig Vcore 3.1 with a 500x500x500mm build volume and blazing speed.

Mine is basically the ratrig recommended defaults except for the CHT, a beacon scanner, and a carbon fiber rail. I got to a 16 minute benchy basically immediately, but anything else I print that fast causes either skipped steps or belt slips and I'm not sure why.

Nice not bad! A pretty easy upgrade for power (if you have a mainboard that supports it) is to go to 48v for the steppers with 5160 step sticks, gobs more power, but you are also now getting to territory where a crash can start really breaking stuff. There is also a group in the discord where they are working on the AWD mod to add 2 more steppers to the XY motion allowing for insane speeds.

Oh so that's what AWD is? Sounds cool. For me though, my issue is probably down to belt tension.
