You need to increase the power to the motors.
As i understand you run with only one Stepper Drive to both your Z-motors
On the stepper you have a smal screw. Turn this clockwise to increase the power to the Motors.
Just turn it so that you cant turn the rods with your hand. The more power you give it the hotter it will get. So make sure to have cooling on your board if you need to set it to max power.

As I'm having a problem with not enough motor-power, too, I'll just ask here:
What is the maximum power that should be used? I got some bent threaded rods which lead to the motors needing more power. I turned the potentiometer to about 3/4 (means 3o'clock), then the
motors apparently work, but the driver is getting hot pretty quickly. Wasn't sure, if that's ok or if it will die when in this state for a longer period.
