Dual Z-Axis support? #1177

Open richardklingler opened 1 year ago

richardklingler commented 1 year ago

Good morning

When going through the issues here I only see that dual axis is only supported on X and Y. Though still don't know how to configure those (o;

I have an Anycubic 3d printer here with Mega2560 microcontroller where I want to put Grbl on, but it has dual Z-axis with endstops at each side.

I don't see any option with Grbl how to achieve that...or if it is even possible.

For a 3D printer you need to be looking at Marlin, not Grbl.

The Anycubic will be fitted with an LED laser :-)

So in the end nothing to do with 3d printing as I will use Lightburn to control the machine...

OK, that sounds good.

But unfortunately I cannot help.

That's not a problem. Marlin supports being used for a laser, and is also supported by LightBurn. You don't need to use grbl necessarily. If you don't want to change your board, I suggest looking into how to use Marlin with a laser and LightBurn.
