    Hello Robo Community

    I just installed a new X Carrage and went to start a print. My whole X Carrage is slanted between the 2 poles. One side is a bit higher and the other is and it won't print right. How should I fix this? Also when I lower my X axis all the way down on Cura it only goes down to the middle it doesn't go much further down. How do I fix this. More importantly how do I get my X axis flat instead of tilted.

    Are you really talking about Z axis?

    If its the bed, then to get Z flatter, make sure all the magnets are firmly seated in the holes. When you tighten the Y axis belt sometimes it will bow the bed support and one or more magnets will need to be 'pushed' into the holes.

    If it's really X, then I need a picture.

    1 of the Z rod sensors or whatever is higher than the other, thus tilting the X Axis

    Twist the Z threaded rods until the X axis is level. Do a paper leveling.
