Dual x and y homing similar to g30 for multiple z screws

@fcwilt they are at the bottom of the corner pieces and are activated with a foot on the carriage and the entiere homing system is about 25mm high -

If we had a picture showing all the parts it might answer my question - but we don't so I will ask.
Can you move the endstop sensors higher yet still keep them attached to same parts but on the outside?

@fcwilt i will put them on the print head but this post was not about discussing where i want to put my endstops but to discuss options for compensative homing like the g30 for multiple leadscrews.

Understood.
But what you are asking about would require a probe in the XZ plane and another in the YZ plane.
A very complicated approach to doing what multiple endstops can already do.

@fcwilt what i was hoping for was that i could put the locations of my belts in have it touch of near the belts do some calculations and be square, thats it. But now that i know that this is not possible i will try something else, but i still think that a function like this could be very usefull.

Try looking at it this way.
A Z probe could be thought of as a "moveable endstop" that is used to determine the position of the bed at multiple points.
Multiple X or Y endstops per axis are somewhat like "fixed probes" that determine the position of the X or Y gantry at multiple points.

DC42 will have a look when he gets a chance. It's an interesting idea that needs some thought.
