severe gantry twist and how to solve this...

Hey there... VC4 300 IDEX. I have a severe gantry twist. I had bad resonance screens and strange belt tention graphs as well. So I did a bit of research and found the Gantry twist (Core XY + hybrid) from the commissioning guide. To tell you in advance, I did purchase the printer used, so I did not built it myself... I tried the steps in the commisioning guide, but even without any belt tention at all, the left side of the gantry some how bounces back from the back... I don't know why and how to solve this. Maybe someone could help me here a bit? A link to a video showing the issue is here to my onedrive (due to size): https://1drv.ms/v/s!AjZ8BjPBmb16l_E50sjIblzSf4RbUQ?e=a9DStf Thanks for any help in advance...

Did you try loosening the gantry joiner bolts and trying to align them that way?

which exactly do you mean?

As per commissioning guide: Gantry twist (Core XY + hybrid) about middle of the page: https://docs.ratrig.com/v-core-4-0/commissioning-guide#C-configuration

Oh yes, this I tried. The gantry can be pushed back on both sides, but with the belts I'm not able to force it into this position. It kind of snaps back directly. But yesterday I found something else. It seems my MGN rail on the x-Axis is applying some force. Trying to reposition it a bit, seems to make things better. Test prints are inbound

Good luck!

so it got a bit better, but I think there are some more issues with this printers physics....
