Honestly, part of why I’m even considering this is because I like tinkering a bit too much. Worst case, I learn something the hard way. Best case, I get a slightly more stable Mini for tall prints.

Totally fair point 👍Direct drive was actually the first thing I looked into, especially for TPU and cleaner extrusion. The dual Z idea is more about experimenting with stability on taller parts than expecting a night-and-day upgrade. For me it’s more of a “learn-by-doing” project than chasing the single best mod.
