Finally got the Z axis working, looks like 2 stepper drivers i got are busted. Either defective or I fried them, one is completely silent, the other gives the motors a twitch with gets more violent with more current.
Made a simple GUI to control the motors. The motion is quite slow probably due to throughput limitations of UBW, i may switch the steppers from from 1/16th to 1/8th or even a 4th and go to more toothy pulleys.
Next thing to mount and test the end stops.
