    Hi,

    I wonder if there is any cons homing on the front of the machine instead of the back?
    I've a large machine, killerbee 1515, and it's working fine, it's just that it takes time to go from homing on the back to zero that is on the front.
    Things would be easier and quicker homing near my zero what do you think? Any negative doing this?

    Thanks

    Only Z definately needs to home up-and-away from the stock, XY is fine whereever you want it. OpenBuilds machines by default homes to front-left - big timesaver
