Dual Z motors out of sync on regular move
-
my printer build box is 400x300x530, I have two Z motors they are on separate drives with separate endstops for automatic bed leveling, all movement and homing works fine.
My problem is when i move the z axis the stepper motors has a different speed, my build box high is 500mm when i move from 0 to 500mm i god a difference from 6mm at the end.
The strange thing is i have also two y motors the work with the same config perfectly.
Any ideas how can i solve this?
This is my config.g:

M83 ; ...but relative extruder moves; Network

I'll assume that you have a bed that moves in the Z direction. Do the motors move the same amount when moving the bed down but different amounts when moving up? If so then you probably need to reduce Z and U acceleration in M201.
You should use the M584 P3 parameter to hide the U and V axes except when you are homing them.
