If you have not seen the previous post, my brand new Flashforge Finder is printing superior compared to my previous printers, although I have come across a major nuisance produced by the printer, it does not print 90 degrees, on example a perfect square, or in my case the cntrVtest on thingiverse. If you see on the bad graphics photo I included, (sorry) you will see that the angle formed is about ~95 degrees and in the adjacent corner supposedly about ~85 degrees. It prints virtually perfectly in vertical height from the base, which leads me to conclude that the problem is in the x and y axis, not z.
Thank you for your time, Quintin

Quintin, Oddly enough I received a used flash forge since your last post. It had a similar issue only at a much greater magnitude. I pushed the xcarriage to the back of the printer until it tripped the endstops and then measured the distance from the smooth rod to the back of the metal frame. After correcting for the misalignment, by physically pulling the carriage, the two measurements were equal and the prints are now square.

How exactly did you correct the offset, force bending?

I used the not so technologically advanced method. Grab one side of the x assembly (smooth rods) in one hand and the other side in the hand and then pull (carefully!) in opposite directions. You’ll hear the belt skip over the pully. You could do this the proper way and disassemble the carriage.

ill try it now, thank you
Sorry for the long delay, I was stuck in printing a calibration block, Wow I was surprised something so simple could help that much, thank you so much, Quintin
