CreatorBot 3D dualstrusion offset

Hi, all. I'm going to post this at http://3dprinterworks.boards.net as well but I wanted to start here.

My CreatorBot is up and running very well these days but my attempts to print with dualstrusion have failed in the same way twice now. The GCode preview looks perfect for this 1" diameter sphere cleaved at an arbitrary angle:

However the two extruders consistently print with a horizontal offset:

I'm not sure if this will help but here's the GCode file:

Thanks for any guidance.

It looks like your firmware doesn't have the proper toolhead offsets. I'm surprised they weren't set properly from the manufacturer.

Either way, you can usually use a M218 command to override them, or as a last resort, S3D can apply toolhead offsets to the gcode coordinates, but it is always better to set this up in the firmware instead.
