Enabling Z axis control on Ortur LM products

[Ydeardorff (Yaughn Deardorff)]

Has anyone added to the LM2 boards connector pad to control Z axis? It appears its printed on the board, but no connector.

Yes.

Take a look here. It was a very cool modification.

OLM2 - Adding Z-Axis Stepper Driver to Mainbaord

Hello, From the looks of it the OLM-MAX-V10 mainboard is fully capable to control the z-axis, at least hardware-wise. All it would take is the driver chip and a few auxiliary resistors and caps, provided that the firmware contains the necessary code to drive the z-axis. Has anyone successfully managed to add a z-axis driver to the mainboard and is the firmware able to talk to the driver?

i received a response from ortur tech, and they stated the OLM2P board can run a Z stepper. So its a matter of soldering on the Pins and installing a connector i guess.

I’m surprised Ortur would acknowledge that as it’s not really a consumer level mod.

Did you review the Topic that I linked? It shows you the modification.
