      @Munce31 Well, the stepper motor cannot really handle the weight 🙂 At least not comfortably, if it is too cool in the room, the water cooling tubes are somewhat stiffer and that adds just enough resistance so the stepper cannot reliably function. This is also the reason I have not posted a video yet. As I said, I do plan to resolve this with the counterweight.

      There is no real reason the water cooling components are inside the build volume, just did even come up I guess. It is something to look into if I ever feel the need to enclose the machine.

      To home it, you could pass the cable through a hole or slot in a plate or a printed part at the top of the printer, and have a knot or collet on the cable below that. Then either use a microswitch to detect when the knot pushes against the plate, or use stall detection.

      @Hutch118 Hi, sorry to dig this up but did you ever publish your code or push it back?

      Thanks
