Yep, I figured that was the main reason. Still doesn’t solve the slop issue where the metal nut might.

Maybe this has been discussed before but having some soft coded limits for the z axis might be a good add at some point. Sure, it only helps if you properly zero the axis prior to using it but I assume most folks do that.

Thanks for the quick reply.
