On the image you see the print is not aligned. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Kind regards,

its in your firmware, might even be in the eeprom that sets the distance. I wrote up a guide to using the chimera a while back, do a search for it.

You have ensure the nozzles are aligned with a primary axis (X or Y) and then specify the Nozzle offsets either in the Slicer or in the firmware. I found the latter to be unreliable and set it to 0 in the firmware and to the correct amount in the Slicer.
If your slicer doesn't have a setting for it, it must be set in the Firmware, I think in repetier firmware the setting is in steps, which is a bit nonsensical on a delta, but basically you set it to distance in mm * axis steps.

I haven't messed with dual extrusion in Repetier but you do have the option of setting nozzle offsets in x and y in Slic3r. There should be a way in the firmware too but I don't know what it is, having done all my multiple extrusion with Marlin and RepRapFirmware.

I used the guide from JFettig. and the prints are still not aligned.
I find it very strange that this happens. I had it aligned, but the prints slanted when i aligned it.

Can anyone help me with this?

In KISSLicer, go to Printer -> Extruder Hardware. Extruder 2 has a setting called "X off 2". Set this to -18. It will work fine.

If you use a different slicer, I don't know what to tell you.

On a related note, how do you get this thing to print without drooling all over the place? What retraction/tool change settings do I need?
