      Hi guys,

      I have built a printer with three independent Z motors. I created the Z axis with M584 and it works fine, including the homing.
      But is there a way to move the motors individually? The reason is that I want to build a macro to show the independent Z-drive. I want the bed to "dance".

        @trulm to do that you have to start the macro (very rudementary explained) with splitting the z steppers into individual axis. Then assign the movement you want on each of those three axis, then when the movement is done you make each of the axis return to the starting point and combine all the threesteppers back into being Z. And "hide" the two axis you created in step 1.
