Yes that would work, add something in the slicer that varied those print spaces by layer so they took the same time to complete for each print head (or you would end up with idle print heads)

I am planning to implement bed levelling using multiple Z motors very soon, so there may be no need to change to a single Z motor. To use this facility you will need to connect each Z motor to a different driver output. Not a problem if your E1 motor output is spare.

You have just thrown up a question with this statement, if you remember I asked about motor connectors in relation to driver numbers in another thread which you clarified.

In relation to my FT-5 build it would be nice to use the coming feature to level the bed, as the FT-5 uses dual Y motors, would it be feasible im this case to transfer the twin Y motors to the Duets twin Z output connectors and then put the x2 independent Z motors into the Y & E1 connectors and remap everything to allow me to implement the upcoming levelling feature ?

Yes you can swap the Y and Z motor connectors over using M584 X0 Y2 Z1 E3:4. Or with the Z motors connected separately to the Y and E1 outputs, M584 X0 Y2 Z1:4 E3.

Regarding your bltouch issues, unless you are deploying it when it is too low so that it triggers immediately, I suspect it is faulty. But I've never used a bltouch so perhaps there is some other explanation.

awesome! as always, much appreciated

will look there too thanks!

BTW, i successfully finished my 1st large scale print yesterday. at 47+ hours and almost a foot and a half tall. Very cool and could not have done it without you help.

ypu ID10T error, 5th try was the charm. thanks much suspect usb cable was just too short…

no proble, we all gotta start somewhere. Good luck!. join reddit, they're great over there in 3dprinting to help you improve your prints.

found loose connection that was killing motor. now both y run but 1 is really loud and doesn't appear to move correctly like right motor does. anything here indicate different settings between motors?
