The right Z tower X motor always need to run M999
-
@jsinicro when using expansion boards, we recommend that you include command G4 S5 in config.g earlier than the first command that refers to a CAN-connected expansion board. This is to allow the expansion boards time to start up after power is applied before the main board tries to configure them. My guess is that you don't have that command in config.g, and the first command in config.g that refers to that expansion board is the M569 command to set the motor direction.

Post your full config and more details.
What's the reason for splitting the X into a U axis?
-
@phaedrux here's the config.g . The reason I split the 2nd X axis is so that eventually I can switch between tools to use different color filaments or different type of filament like for support that just melts in water... since they are independent Z and X axis. Maybe you are right I don't need to split them, I could just turn tool 1 on and tool 2 off and vice versa. I will try the G4 S5 see if that fixes it.

How do you get two Z towers able to raise/lower the X and U gantry separately?

I wonder if you can use M669 and M584 to create two independent "Z" axes with different letters, like Z and W.

@dc42 : That worked, putting the G4 S5 fixed the issue, thankyou
-
@fcwilt There can only be one independent Z axis at a time, that's why I switch the motor config to go to one or another. Would be sweet if two independent Z and X axis could work at the same time on the same print, thus cutting the print time in 1/2.

That may be supported by RRF in the future, but probably only on Duet 3 MB6HC. You would need a special slicer that can plan the concurrent printing, avoiding head collisions.

@dc42 That will be awesome, the slicing software would be interesting on how to handle that.
