what firmware and version is running on your machine? you might have to use the front panel to change an eeprom setting.
Have you tried setting the xnozzle value in repg to 34.35?

Hi all again…!!
It been 4 days I am trying to calibrate the nozzle. Pls if anyone knows how to do… Pls reply.
If you are comfortable trying it, I would upgrade the firmware to sailfish following the attached instructions.
This firmware is supported by makerbot desktop and there are advantages over the stock firmware.
As part of the installation it talks you through setting the tool offsets.

Most likely a 1280. Use the “FlashForge Creator I, II & X” firmware since a CTC is a clone of a FlashForge.)

Tried +1mm left and +1 right and similarly -1 left and -1 right… Its coming as same model as in image.
Not able to get left or right is getting shifted. Pls anyone can solve this problem???
follow these instructions here: they are very clear and step by step for how to upgrade the firmware to sailfish. you dont have to mess with hex files or try to compile hex files… it is already taken care of for you.

repg is used to download the sailfish version you need and will do the upgrade and install process for you.
the instructions tell you how to obtain the correct version of repg as well as downloading the version of sailfish for you.
ctc is a clone of flashforge, so you will choose the “FlashForge Creator I, II & X” firmware in repg as the instructions describe.
you cannot make a 1280 into a 2560. this refers to the processor chip on the mainboard. the only way to switch to a 2560 is to replace the main board to one that contains the 2560 chip… this is not something you need to do.
