New machine vcore 4 machine with idex installed before commissioning
What you are reading, and to be fair, I too have an IDEX 400 and just set it up, is that they recommend tuning the COREXY belts first, and then adding hybrid, tuning that. But that only works for a plain CoreXY kit, that then gets the hybrid upgrade. Again, for IDEX, you have no choice, you cannot run in CoreXY mode, because each toolhead ONLY has one belt attached to it. So they can only control the head in X. That said, the belt -path wants to move the head in a diagonal of both X and Y, and hence why hybrid Y is needed as an imperative, you cannot even really test without it.

You must, must, must install the hybrid belts. IDEX is just half of CoreXY. Let me explain. In Core XY, each of the lower motors would move the single toolhead in a 45 degree direction. Now in IDEX only 1 belt and motor is attached to each toolhead. That said, it's STILL COREXY motion related, in that the belt for that toolhead moves that head in diagonal motion. You must then have the hybrid belts and motors connected to control and move Y axis. That is why you are getting the result- IDEX must have hybrid or else it's just a big mess.

This is the variables as set by calibration? I assume the offset for X is what it is complaining about?
