Hoping someone in here can help me.
I’m building a large laser, utilizing Arduino/RAMPS 1.4 with Turnkey firmware and LaserWeb.
I use 2 nema23 1.5A steppers for my Y axis, because of that i want the Y output to be mirrored to E1 on the RAMPS board.

This feature is implemented in Marlin, but not yet in the Turnkey variation.

How would I get going with doing that myself?
Or has anyone done it, and can give me helpful advice…
And no, I don’t have the money to buy a SmoothieBoard.

look strange to me you need powerfull nema23 to move a laser head, are you sure the money is on the right component ?

Noted.

Peter, I appreciate your concern. :slight_smile:
But my Y axis is 2.000mm wide, which is why I opted for the dual config.

It would be fine if you mounted the laser on the Y axis and it moved with it, always inline then even if it skews…
