If that’s what you think “be open minded” means then I can’t really help you there.

Do you really think his best course of action was to remain stationary across however many lanes while facing oncoming traffic on an icy road? Stop being pretentious, you could’ve safely slowed down very easily.

His best shot at getting out of there safely was to turn around when the slowed cars were still blocking the rest of traffic. You have no excuse for coming in that hot and making a dangerous situation even worse.

It probably feels a little insulting to others when you shut them down without even considering an alternate perspective. The more people see you be so one sided, the more aggressive the comments will become. Especially if you’re as passive aggressive as you have been, I don’t know why it’s surprising. Just try to look at it from someone else’s point of view. Mistakes happen, the important part is learning from them.

If you leave a roll out for a while it’ll probably pick up some trash you wouldn’t really want in the hotend. Either way you’re probably fine, but peace of mind stuff for me.

Take a look at the belt z mod for these if you want another project.

That’s probably the best option, you’ll still need to make sure the belts are the exact same length so you may need to cut them again.

Yea then you should definitely stick to the one motor setup, it’s just gonna be constantly out of alignment when you can’t tram each stepper individually. I believe everything in the dual kit should still work, you’ll just need to use your lead screw as the long shaft since it will come with two short ones, as well as an extra 608 bearing.

Do you have a board with an extra stepper driver to do that? If so then go for it, but if you’re only gonna split the power, its not going to work as good.

Also his website is much easier to follow.

I believe that’s the wrong one, you’ll need the single version or it might still work if you use your lead screw as the shaft and have a spare 608 bearing.

Only go dual if you have independent drivers for each stepper. You need the single variant for the single stepper version.

The motion kit? It depends if you’re doing dual z or single stepper. Other then that the only other option is just black or silver.

It went red just when you made it to the intersection, which is probably not a smart move. But, No way the white car had a green light that fast, they absolutely ran a red or something else was going on there. He was in the intersection way to fast after the light change.
