I had trouble being sure if both Z-axis steppers were in alignment.
So, I thought, I'll stick a little pointer on top of each z-axis screw so I can easily see if the two steppers are, ahem, in step.
I grabbed Bothacker's Skull off thingiverse (the STL one, not his real one), added a 5mm socket in Turbocad and... two watchful little skulls on top of each Z-axis. They simply screw on to the M5 rods.
Just get the z-alignment right, then make sure both heads are looking front and centre whe
