G26 Test Print
I guess I had one other question. When printing a G26 test print, what should it look like as far as extrusion width? Should the lines look smooshed? If I'm using a .4 nozzle, how wide should the...

This pattern looks good: [github.com] You can argue about how much overlap a first layer print should have. And what temperature it should go down at. But if you can print a pattern that looks like...

from the name, Im guessing this board has the same step/direction/enable lines from Z going to the two stepper drivers. Ie its not possible to over ride this behavior in firmware, you have to actually...

there's continuity... I've wasted a LOT of time. thanks for your help! I need to buy a new board. but what's the point of having the same signals going to both z drivers? couldn't they just have used...

with this configuration both Z steppers get the full current of each stepper driver. When steppers are in parallel on one stepper driver they each get half the current (presuming the steppers are...

ahh that makes sense, can I theoretically connect both drivers to one motor and then use a bigger stepper motor then? - just wondering
View ArticleRe: Help me setup Marlin FW for MKS board for dual extruder?
Dont know, not something I would want to try... The signals coming out of a stepper driver are complicated and if one is slightly out timing wise the energy is probably going to go into the other...
