    I'd recommend having the homing positions on the dual screw axis finely adjustable - like how your Z position can be adjusted by turning that bolt. At the moment you'll have to loosen that bolt and t-nut and just hope you can push it accurately back and forth. It'll help when trying to square the gantry, where you need (ideally) sub-mm changes to switch triggering position and I wish I'd thought of that earlier. I've had to do quite a bit of back and forth trying to get the gantry squared.

    You can work around it in software (I can't remember what controller software combo you're planning to use - but generally speaking its possible), but easier done once in hardware.

    Extremely good point, thanks for letting me know. I will make some changes to the design to allow for fine adjustment.
