Or you may connect your Zs in parallel or in series to Z or use CNC shield to connect both to separate drivers.Quote

- can this board hande 2 Z motors (I assume yes, Z and E1 configured to Z2 in the FW)?
Yes the second Zmin is called "Zmax" or "Xmax" just configure them in Marlin for dual stepper configuration in "Configuration_adv.h":Quote
mokush
- can this board handle 2 Zmin endstops? Is it possible to configure one of the free endstop connectors as Z2min?
#define Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS #if ENABLED(Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS) //#define Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS #if ENABLED(Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS) #define Z2_USE_ENDSTOP _XMAX_ #define Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS_ADJUSTMENT 0 #endif #endif
You connect heatbreak cooler directly to 12V so it is always "on"Quote
mokush
- as I see there is only 1 fan connector on the board. How can I connect a hotend cooler (on and 100% RPM after hotend temp > eg. 40°C) and a layer fan with controllable on/off and RPM?
I personally like KFB 2.0, but MKS 1.4 should be fine for you.Quote
mokush
If the parts I mentioned above cannot fulfil the needs, can you recommend an other budget board that will?
