Z axis not perpendicular to Y
Hi all,
I have a MK2S, just assembled from a kit a few weeks ago. Went through the normal wizard, XYZ calibration gave me the "Axes are perpendicular, Congratulations!" message. All has generally been well, but upon printing some taller prints I noticed the Z axis is at 91 or 92 degrees relative to Y, so parts are all skewed. See the attached image of a test print I made just for this purpose.
I thought of shimming the Z-axis-top parts away from the frame, but they seem to naturally lay flat against the frame. Upon investigation it seems that the power supply may be pulling it back? I could shim the power supply but I thought I'd reach out first to see if there are better methods of correcting this issue.
thanks!
Brendan
