Some minor updates, I have decided to use proximity sensors instead of mechanical switches for the limits / homing so Slight change to each axis to have mounting holes


I have also increased the length of the z axis rails to allow a accommodate 4 blocks and give me ~ 110 mm travel, and redesigned the spindle mounting plate to allow access to the grease nipple on z axis

In picture 1 if the is the hole for the home switch it might be better to not hit it end on but have the target passing across the face.

They tend to get crunched the way you have it.

Started the build today, small steps, 3d printed the feet and stuck rubber pads on the bottom

Cheers for the info, I have only ever used mechanical limit / home switches, I will have a think how I can mount them
