Z-Axis motors warm while idle
I just did the MK3s -> MK4s upgrade and have noticed that, while the printer is idling, both of the Z-Axis motors are a bit warm. This is even from a cold start (IE - not leftover from a print run). The other motors are not warm.
Calibration and printing are fine (a huge improvement over the MK3s!).
Has anyone else seen this? I would think any wiring issue would manifest itself in Calibration/Printing, so this must be an idle setting in firmware?

this is design intent, the Z motors hold the X axis whilst the printer is at idle!

RE: Z-Axis motors warm while idle
Ooof. I get it, but it still makes me uncomfortable to have some electricity always flowing, no matter how tiny.
I wonder if Prusa could implement some `deep sleep` mode where the machine is 'completely' powered down unless it detects 'any' movement. Is there an IMU on the motherboard?
Thank you for the response!
