New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

From what I hear, you are probably on a winner with the LCNC approach. When I built my first router around 5 years ago, it had single motors on each axis so gantry squaring wasn't an issue. Just as well as I was using LCNC which had no capability to home each end of the gantry separately. I ended up going to Mach3 and a CSMIO/IP-M motion controller for the Mk2, with twin X motors. This combination works really well - except that it doesn't home each end of the gantry separately either! However, I understand that this is functionality that is now in LCNC so you should be OK when you get to that point. I have a manual process to get round this but it would have been nice to just press a button and have it all happen automatically.

I've had Z axis microswitch issues on my 3D printer - I know what you mean!
