    This works but should a wire fail Im in trouble as I'm connecting 3 axis paralell to one input?

    The slaved axis with separate input is safe because I would notice a broken wire?
    If Just home switches then don't worry about it because if one fails the Limits will catch it.

    ...as long as you use the NC contacts for the limit switches! Simplifies wiring as well as they can all be in series taken to a single BOB/motion controller input pin. I use proximity switches myself; mine are arranged in pairs (min/max limits on each axis) and wired in "series". Doing that is slightly more complicated than with mechanical switches but it works fine. I tested them with 4 in series (remembering that I also use 24V) and they seemed to work OK as well.
