      I know it should be simple, and has been done, but I can't seem to find the info on how to define where the Z motors are controlled from. I would like to set up my BigBox so I can do the leveling and correction feature. I put one of the Z steppers on E1 as E0 is my extruder (I have a dual, but only use the one side until I do the IDEX upgrade). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Did you read the guide?

          I read the guide, but I'm not sure if that is also the way to direct the Duet to use the E1 controller for the second Z-axis not just for the leveling feature.
          I just got back to the machine after about a year of letting it sit due to time constraints (new baby and college). Now I want to get it running again with the change.

              Yes that is also the way to drive multiple Z motors from separate drivers. Look up M584 in the gcodes wiki page.
