    Looking at limit and home switch placement... I've kinda put this off as long as possible, but here goes.

    The idea is to use proximity switches for both - and to use two travelling switches on Z and Y, then 3 fixed switches on each X axis.

    Unfortunately because I've only thought about these late in the game, they're a bit shoe-horned in - I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions... I feel like I've tried about a million different placements.

    I remember reading somewhere that proximity switches should be triggered by a sloped target - I'm not sure if I've got my targets sloped in the right direction, or even what angle to aim for.... Some advice would be awesome!
