      You would start with a single z axis configuration using the web tool, and then manually add the second driver to the Z axis configuration in M584.

      To show you exactly what to change you'd need to share your existing config for the single driver and then tell us which additional driver you want to use.

        First I have to put all these pins correctly to the mainboard, afterwards I have to configure it.
        Let see what will happen🀣

          G'day
          Well I had thought about this kind of cable for dual z axis

          Is it possible? ![0_1607323165010_IMG_20201207_073603.jpg](Lade 100% hoch)

          Hope u can see the picture

          Well actually it is one cable with two stepper motor pins on the one site and on the other site it has a pin directly to the duet 3 mainboard.

          Does it work?

          Thanks a lot in advance

          Best regards
          Joel

                  You can use a cable like that if the phases are correctly connected, but it's simpler to connect the two Z motors to separate outputs on the Duet, assuming you have spare outputs.

                    Dear sir
                    Thanks for answering

                    Well, in the beginning I had the same idea.
                    But I didn't find out how to configure the second stepper motor for the other z axis on
                    https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start
                    It shows me just X, Y, Z, E1, E2, E3.

                    I would definitely be interested in finding the solution of this issue and absolutely pleased if you could help me. Leading through my problem. 😊

                    Thanks a lot in advance

                    Best regards

                        The tool can only create a basic setup. Adding the second Z driver is quite easy though, we just need to know which drivers you are connected to.

                        When wiring up the motors, verify the phases first.
