So, I have an extra stepper motor, lead screw/bearings/coupler, and an extra Z axis slot on my motherboard. I also have my camera (C920) mounted statically in the corner of my lack enclosure.

I'm planning on putting the extra stepper and lead screw in the corner and having the camera go up with the Z axis, but at a slight distance...

This all seems fine, the only issue I can forsee is having the current to drive the 3rd stepper - my board is a BTT skr mini v3, so I'll be running 3 Z steppers off of a single driver. Are there any inherent issues with this, or any others I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!
