    More progress, ready to order some energy chain and start wiring and I'm very pleased the panel is already built.

    Limit and home switch for Z axis, there is one switch and two strikers. For the home switches I mounted a piece of 6mm thick mild steel to aluminium angle to act as the target.

    Ive been aware of this thread for a while, but tonight, only just read it.

    Nice Design!!!. Must say, hats off to you much better than mine. I think every single thing I wished I did with mine you have done here... Proper Rails, I like the extra plate at the top of the Y carriage (making a figure 8) The X steppers inside the gantry (rather than sticking out). and the general quality of the build looks superb

    Credit to you chap. Got to start thinking about my next build soon...
