The bigger (longer and heavier) Z motor is actually 2A which can be driven at full torque. The smaller motor is on the X. I should look for something smaller.
There is a "control knob" on the back end of the Z axis, but the carriage wheel stills works fairly easily (though the knob is removed) as the Z lead screw is 2 tpi with 4 starts.
