Hi all....I have a Mendel90 and a Mendel Max 2.0...they are both great machines, but I was wondering sometime about the Mendel90. the Mendel90 uses a top limit switch, which requires (when homing) a full travel up and a full travel down for each homing exercise. The Mendel Max 2.0 uses a hall effect bottom limit sensor that is much easier to calibrate, as there is no re-uploading of the firmware, testing via two homing travels, and then potentially repeating the exercise. I am wondering why to use a top limit switch?
In the build manual I know it says "to keep the head from crashing into the build plate" but every time I print, there is a long homing wait time that (?) needlessly runs the machine far more than if there was a bottom limit switch.
Anyone know the benefits of using a top-limit switch like that?
