Hello,

I used two different levels so I am pretty sure the print bed is even. Yet, when I jog the hot end around the print area I notice that the hot end travels up in the Z-direction fairly substantially (a few millimeters) when traveling in the Y direction. I changed the endstops and that did not make a difference.

Does anybody know what is happening?

Thanks for any input...

How did you calibrate the endstops? Are you sure nothing changed? because that would be weird.

Also do you plan on using any autocalibration?

If however youre describing the koncave or konvex motion then your delta radius is probably the culprit.

That did the trick. It was the radius parameter. Thanks!

If you are calibrating manually this tool takes a little while, but it is absolutely indispensable:
