Hey, my knowledge on controllers is extremely limited and I just wanted to ask if it is very straight forward to use two Zs on Azteeg X5 GT with the second Z using the second extruder spot.
I assume it is very straight forward but I didn’t want to make an assumption and then have a real crappy situation in a couple months time when I hook everything up.
I use the feature for tandum Y screws on my R7 CNC. You apply a jumper and then the step/direction signal gets split and sent to two of the stepper drivers. So you can do the same for Z. Look at my configuration file for my CNC here as an example:
Note this was for a CNC, so work would be needed to be done to map the drivers correctly so the extruder drives would become Z, and the Z would become the extruder. But it should be pretty easy to edit to your needs.
Hi Eric,
What I am interested in is running independent Zs to allow for usage of Z tilt. Could I do that by hooking up the second Z to the unused second extruder slot? I plan on running klipper on it btw.
