I THINK THAT WAS IT!!!!! thanks so much Jeffrey, I could kiss you! but obviously not as not covid safe, but I was proper struggling to find the answer! this makes sense as tighter bearing putting more load on so increasing backlash.

All I did was change the x backlash to 0.15 after creeping up on it, the target on the right has the 0.15 adjustment.. the only thing I'm stuck on now is if I need to adjust the power timing? as no idea how to do that, and if this has it sorted do I need to adjust the power timing?

Thanks again!!
Hi Toby, your thanks are sufficient for me ;-)

I'd go ahead and re-check the power supply timing. You do know how to do it; you called it "Scan Backlash compensation" in your earlier message. It's the one where you scan a square and make sure the scan lines are aligned.

Enjoy,

-Jeff
