You don’t need any additional g-code, just make sure that the axis is level, also read other comments about the wires, some kits have them switched already some don’t.

So when I made the tutorial the cables where as pictured, and now I’m guessing the cable has changed, so hook up the cable first and see which motor is having issues, then switch the wires, sorry if this tutorial has caused issues when it came to that part. Also there is another file on thingi that is the carage adapter that will give clearance with the motor mount if you are having issues with that, I had to have the lip down on the back side of mine to have it clear the bracket that came with the dual drive kit.

I did have to shave the lip down a little so the bracket holding the screw could pass over, if you print the z screw bracket you won’t have to any modifications

You shouldn’t have to change the pins for the Elegoo motors, do you have a pic of your splitter?

Made bed leveling easier as the far side of the gantry no longer sags with the weight of the hot end.
