      @AS-3D-Druck The reason why it tilts is because every time you apply power, the motors jump to the nearest full step which might be either forwards or backwards. Actually, I believe it's worse than that and it might actually be a difference of 4 full steps but I can't remember the reason why.

      You have two practical options that I can think of. The first is to drive each motor independently and use bed levelling but as @aidar has pointed out, for that to happen each motor has to be connected to a separate driver. The second option would be to drive both screws together via a single motor and continuous belt.

        Or stick with 2 motors, but connect them with a belt. The belt needs to prevent one motor moving by 4 full steps relative to the other.

          Would you not get 'wind up' of the mechanics if you have two motors connected like that?

            I would have thought so but perhaps it might not be significant?

              Ok i tryed the independent Leadscrews but it looks like 1mm correction isn't enough. 😲

              	G32 Error: Some computed corrections exceed configured limit of 1.00mm: -2.080 2.814

                  @Veti Thx i tryed 5mm now and it works.

                  From now on i should use in my start Gcode before every Print G32 S2 right?

                    it depends on your bed.
                    if its perfectly flat yes.

                    if not use
                    G32 followed by G29

                      Ok i don't know what happend but now my Homing has flipped from front left to back right. (Stall Detection)

                      I don't know why it worked yesterday and now not.

                        do the normal moves are in the correct direction?
                        if yes -> check your homing file moves
                        if no -> change direction of motors in the config

                            @AS-3D-Druck Do the motors still move in the right correct directions? i.e. when you do G1 S1 X-500, does it still move to the left? And when you do G1 S1 Y-500, does it still move to the front?

                              It does not move at all in - only in+ but there is no room for any Movement so it cares in the Extrusion.

                              The coordinates are set wrong for some reason 😵

                              btw. i added on my Post before the config.g

                                You might want to consider joining the two leadscrews with a belt

                                  this does not answer the question.

                                  move the extruder to the middle
                                  issue M564 H0
                                  and see if the movement are as expeded.
                                  ie x - goes left x+ goes right

                                    @Veti No it does nit everything in - isn't working except i use M564 H0 than i can manualy move it to the middle but homing does still not work anymore.

                                      @AS-3D-Druck Starting with the print head in the middle step through your homing fie one line at a time but you can ignore the Z axis for now. So send M913 X50 Y50 to reduce the motor currents. Then send G91 to set relative positioning. Then send G1 S1 X-500 F4000 and tell us if the head moves to the left as it should or does it do something else?

                                        Ok maybe i found the Issue here:

                                        ; X
                                        G1 S1 X-500 F4000
                                        

                                        I had to send 3-4 times this command until it started to move to the min point.
                                        Bevore that i heared only a tock after i send the command.... like there was already something that the stall detection noticed.

                                        I don't know my Motors are rated for 1.3A and i set them to 1A and reduced it to 50%.
                                        Now i played with M915 and increased the S Value from 3 to 8 to 10.

                                        It looks like that was the Problem.

                                        Thx alot for the help and i will try my next print with this new "Setup". 😊
                                        You're Guys are awesome. 👍
