New machine vcore 4 machine with idex installed before commissioning
I am at the stage of doing the commission. However I seem to have issues with T1 toolhead drifting towards the center of the X-axis when when T0 is moving along the Y-axis. My initial thought was that I needed to install the hybrid belts, but the guide tuning gets difficult when doing so. I am sure I just missed something but am not sure what it is.
Solution
You must, must, must install the hybrid belts. IDEX is just half of CoreXY. Let me explain. In Core XY, each of the lower motors would move the single toolhead in a 45 degree direction. Now in IDEX only 1 belt and motor is attached to each toolhead. That said, it's STILL COREXY motion related, in that the belt for that toolhead moves that head in diagonal motion. You must then have the hybrid belts and motors connected to control and move Y axis. That is why you are getting the result- IDEX must have hybrid or else it's just a big mess.
