Hello!
I’m designing a large (1200x1200x1200mm) 3D printer. It is going to have 4 Z-axis motors, 4 Y-axis motors, 2 X-axis motors and 2 Printhead (IDEX). One head is going to have a BLTouch. quad_gantry and bed_mesh are required.
I want to simplify wiring, because wire length is expected to be about 10 meters.
I want to connect all stationary (4xY and 4xZ) motors to the MKS Monster 8 v2.0 board, which has exactly 8 drivers. I also want to use this board as a CAN bridge (board has separate RJ-11 connector for CAN), to connect 2 X-axis motors and 2 Printheads via CAN.
Will this setup work? I’ve read this and this article and it seems to be possible. I just want to confirm if I have not misread anything, because rewiring everything if such config is not supported would be a nightmare.
