It needs to operate BOTH the X and Y steppers together to make that move. Even if it cannot move one (e.g. it's at the limit), it should then abort the move on the OTHER stepper. It should never move ONLY one when both are required. </p><p>So; After two days, it's back to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Marlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Marlin</span></a>.</p>

Greg Saunier<p>Today, it's hard to find a 3D printer motion system that isn't capable of fast printing with both light or heavy extruders.
