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

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.

Yes you are correct but it is only in the master branch (version 2.8) at this time and you can also alter the homing position on each axis in software just by changing an offset in the Machinexxx.ini file

When it comes to building the PSU will need help

Have a look at Joe's excellent vids on building one.

Can I mix stepper drivers temporarily? I budgeted it out and can afford 3 Am882 and the power supply today and can borrow a DM542T for a couple of months of my mate.

Could I get away with this setup use the AM882's for X&Y and the DM542T for the Z? I would power the DM542T with the 24v and the AM882 with the new build PSU.

I'd buy another AM882 ASAP obviously but would like to start playing.

This should work without a problem ;)

No problem with that - I use EM806 for X and Y, and a recycled M752 from my old router for Z. I was able to use the same 68V PSU for all of them but it's fine to run them off separate supplies if needed.
