Right side Z axis moving slower then left

Just assembled my kit and tried running calibration, but continues to fail at the start of the paper test. I think it might be the right Z axis, as it seems to be moving slower then the left. Tried every combination of tightening and loosening, but haven't had any luck with it working.

Was wondering if anyone has either encountered this or know how to fix it.

RE: Right side Z axis moving slower then left

Doesn't hurt to double check, you've confirmed it's the correct stepper motors on the z-axis and you didn't get them mixed up?

Difficule to see from the video, but if your assumption is correct, then it might be a bad motor.  If there's nothing physically binding, the speed should be consistant.  make sure there's nothing lodged in the bearing that rides up/down the threaded rod.

How did you end up resolving this?  My newly built printer is behaving identically.
