Can you have enough stepper motors? Maybe.

I did an investment. I had one driver IC and a good motor. I added 4 somewhat heavier motors, and 4 Allegro A4988 drivers.

    (coincidentally, I did take a stepper out of a printer / scanner for a design challenge - my 1st ever e14 interaction)

    The advantage of driving both sides of a gantry is not that you get more force but that applying the force equally to both sides massively reduces the demands on the sliding bearings. On a big gantry…

    Jan Cumps You can also get shorter ones for Z axis in 3.5 floppy drives if needed.
