    Makes sense.

    And presumably, within a single motor/twin belt system, the "stiffness" within the drive belt arrangement tends to hold the gantry square.


    Great got it thanks.

    Yes that is correct, but with using one motor you have to use a bigger one like a nema34 which usually requires a bigger volatage to drive it. The single motor setup does not go out of square, and using 2 motors hence the duel switches you also.need stall detection etc in case one drive packs up etc
