    Small update.
    First of all I want to say that I am glad for two things untill now, first off all that I start to cut the plates from mdf and not direct on the 20mm aluminium plates.:D
    And the second one is that I have those thick aluminium beams!
    Warning, cover your eyes this build has nothing to do with what other guys post here :-P

    NPN = normally closed. Basic Amazon ones work fine for general homing / limits (around £7 each)
