Has anyone run two nema dual shaft motors mechanically coupled in series? the Ender 5 plus uses a dual shaft to drive both Y axes, and I’m thinking of adding another, in series, coupled with an elastic coupler.

Thoughts?

    I’m thinking torque rather than speed. I have converted an Ender 5 Plus to Hybrid core Y, with the Endorphin mod and I’m mulling adding an extra stepper on the X, and increasing power on the Y, either with a larger Y dual shaft or adding an extra stepper on the Y in series.
