SilverBullet,
Welcome to deltas. They are frustrating, and often difficult to get to print straight.
It's unlikely to be missing steps. More likely is one or more of the following:
* Towers not parallel
* Towers twisted
* Bed not at 90 degrees to the towers
* Diagonal rod value in firmware not matching physical measurement
* Delta radius in firmware not matching physical measurement
* Rod end distance different between carriage and effector (causing effector tilt at different areas of the bed)
Those are the usual suspects on a delta, good luck finding the issue.

I've checked and rechecked all those things, that's why it is doing my head in. There is physically nothing i can find wrong, corner to corner measurements are spot on and towers are square to the bed which i used a brand new Lufkin builders square to check with.
Your not wrong about them being difficult, as much as i want to throw the towel in on the delta part of me wants to keep going for the prize and somehow work things out
