Hi All,

I've seen a couple references in the past about using two motors for Z. I looked but couldn't find them again,I never really understood this or why you would want to do that.
But I happen to have an extra motor and driver.Can anyone shed any light on using two motors for Z for me?

Thanks,
Rod

I think that's for Cartesian style printers.
If not, enlighten me too please.

That does not sound right. The 3 towers ave to be the same unless you are going for something very fantastic.

Yes, most Cartesian style printers use 2 Zmotors.

I don't want to know about tensioning, but you could always double up on each tower...
