    I am not sure about the independent homing, i will need to check that for sure, is this common practise for machines with multiple screws on one axis? Is this to ensure they stay parallel
    If you are using two screws and two motors you will have to use two home switches to make sure the gantry is put square every time you home.

    You can of course use two screws with one motor and a belt driving both screws then one home switch will be fine.

    The choice is yours as there are pro's and con's and much debate between the two types.
