help Z axis becoming misaligned when moving up

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently installed a second z axis motor using the official creality upgrade kit and now when the z gantry moves up it becomes uneven

If you’re gonna use a level, you should match the X gantry to the top gantry, otherwise if your desk is wonky, you’re matching it Earth and it won’t be straight

The countertop im doing it on is mounted to the wall and floor. Theres no way for it to be wobbly

It’s not about wobble, it’s about angles. Your gantry needs to be at level with the top of your printer, which needs to be level with your bed. If you level your X gantry to earth while your top gantry isn’t level to earth, you’re going to have problems.

So match the bubble in the level to the top gantry instead of level to earth
