So i had to change the hybridcoreXY kinematics to make this work. Pretty much just added an extra rail for the Y and kept with the corexy calc_position:

in my config i used the standard corexy setup for the A and B motors (under x and y). then i added the extra Y motors under stepper_aux.
This seems to be working so far. I’ll update if i have any issues that pop up.
