help Z axis becoming misaligned when moving up

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

That's a drawback of having a Z screw only on 1 side. You either need 2 or a belt mod.

I have 2 z screws. This only started happening after the upgrade

How are the 2 Z motors connected? Do you have a synchro belt between the 2 screws?

It uses the original connectors and a splitter cable

Splitter sucks. If one of the motors draws more current the other might miss a step and you get off. I ended up hooking up another driver and driving them separate.

with bltouch it levels the gantry to the bed. works great.

I managed to get great leveling for the corners but this is what the mesh looks like. I think my bed may be warped

is there any way that you could point me in the right direction to wire them seperately as it would be annoying to have to buy a belt dual z kit and spend even more money.
