Hypercube homing positions?
-
Programming duet for my new HEVO I built, first scratch built printer.
Does it matter which corner I setup the endstops in? does the standard configuration home to the left front or left rear etc is my question?
-
From a theoretical point of view, no, it doesn't matter. You can home to literally any position, doesn't even need to be a corner.
Regardless of where you home, you do need to take care to follow conventions for placing the origin (0,0,0), or your parts may be mirrored. (or compensate in the slicer)

ok I think I figured out the front left is the standard position. Was just trying to figure out how to fabricate the endstops and where

Yeah, but you don't have to home to the origin, you can home to any combination of Xmin/Xmax/Ymin/Ymax/Zmin/Zmax.
It is worth considering Zmin/Zmax and weather or not homing while there is a print on the bed can be an issue.
