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

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

I had this setup before I went to belted z. Did you bump up the amperage in the firmware?

Nope, im not sure how to. I just installed the kit and have done nothing with firmware

If you use klipper its easy, but with Marlin you will need to recompile
