Z-Tilt is only adjusting one Axis.

Another day, another problem. I'm working hard to get my VzBot Triple-Z working on RatOS. The last thing is the Z-tilt. I have buzzed the motors to ensure they are in the proper sequence. Z = Front Left, Z1 = Back, and Z2 = Front Right. Homing is working fine, and Beacon initialisation was done with no problem. The issue with Z-Tilt is that Z2 keeps adjusting more and more, and neither does the other Z-Axis. I have swapped cables, and they are still the same. I just moved the problem to another axis. Sometimes, it looks like it is doing double on the Z2-Axis, like a double tap. You can see that in the video. I don’t know what to do, and it is so frustrating being so close and unable to get it to work. Maybe someone came across this and could share the solution. I have also added the printer.cfg and ratos.cfg.

your front z motors are probably swapped

Even if I buzz them and in the right sequence?

could also be the motor couplers, maybe one is loose

i would also suggest to move the proing points more invards to the bed the beacon tends to return wrong results if you probe on the bed edges

OK. I can do that. I checked the couplers and their OK will mesure more inside What would make it in the 2nd run to swap?

it looks like you use different leadscrews is that possible? maybe your z rotation distance is wrong then it looks like the z move when homing is too high, it should only be 15mm but looks more like 30mm this would explain why it makes such high changes when doing the z tilt

OK. I changed the cables around as you suggested. Now, my Z1 is in the front left, Z0 is in the back, and Z2 remains in the front right. It makes no sense, but it is working now. I mark this now as closed. Thanks for your Help. @Helge Keck
