Cubex Duo conversion
-
Greetings, I am converting a Cubex Duo, which has dual steppers on the Y axis, single on the Z axis. Is it possible to use the Z axis dual motor sets of pins, and swap Z for Y in firmware? Also, they are opposite rotation, as they both face outwards. I assume the 'stock' Z double motor wiring would need one motor wiring reversed, correct? Having a bit of a hard time visualizing this wiring if using a series dual motor setup.
Really excited to get my Cubex running on Duet WiFi, as the old brain shorted the Z end stop somehow,. This is my first printer conversion, but I have done a lot of CNC setup in the past. Hoping this goes well, and I can 'rescue' more Cubex's from the clutches of 3D systems pitiful controller. It's a nice size, and a solid mechanical build.
Thanks in advance for any advice! I'll post pics when complete.

Yes, you can swap Y and Z connections and then use the M584 command in config.g to swap them back. You are right, you will need to reverse the wiring order of one of the Y motors.
