Ultimate Hardware Upgrades

Ok so you know how the Z Axis stepper motors are bolted under that black plate? If you have a way to relocate those motors above (assuming you have the upgraded motors with the lead screw prebuilt on them without couplers) without hitting things around, it could add maybe less than an inch or so to the Z axis (if i even made some sense here). Though I could be wrong on this part.

Yeah I had that in mind. I'm thinking of making a custom mount for it maybe but I think its possible. Although, the extruder assembly needs to be re-configured to a direct drive. I think I might start on that one.

Another thing though. Will the micro mechanical switch in the store be restocked soon? If not then what would you guys recommend to get forcthe three limit switch?

Those switches are cheap and all over eBay and Amazon. No need to get the Robo ones. Check out this project for z extension for some ideas as well
