    I've been busy the past few weeks, so unfortunately not too much progress.

    I designed some simple 3d printed, easily adjustable mounts for the homing sensors.
    On X and Y they will be triggered by the DSG housings. On Z, I'll add a small bracket to trigger the sensor.

    Nice brackets Jeff, very neat.

    Word of caution though, aluminium isn't a good or reliable trigger for proximity sensors, I would fasten a piece of steel or have them sense a bolt head rather than the aluminium bracket
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
