    I have been thinking of purchasing one of the Multi Z axis add ons for my machine.. I am currently using the Original Black Box controller and have the slave output on the BB runs the 2nd X axis motor as normal. All motors are Nema 23's. What is required to run an additional Nema 23 on the Z axis? Simple parallel wiring to the BB? Current issues?

    Nothing extra. Z's wire in parallel at the existing Z axis. You are good to go.
