    I have enclosed 3 photos that show my new Z-axis build. I am at the stage where I am mounting the sensors. This build is based on my Workbee 1510 sensor placement. Are there any suggestions on where the best place is to mount the z-axis proximity switch (I have two types a barrel mount and rectangular mount)? I was looking at mounting it at the top right next to the motor - advantages/disadvantages?

    As long as its mounted so Z homes toward the top, everything else is up to you. Mount it wherever you can/want to

    Use Troubleshooting tab in CONTROL to test it.
