I did something similar on a BP sized mill. Manually move x and y to
roughly center the beam of a laser diode in a 3 mm hole in a tab at one
end of the mill. Kick off homing for x and y and it will pick up the
first index on each axis. You can then move from there to where your
preferred zero

This is a tough question. You are in effect asking to compare the
Greetings all;
The ender5 plus uses a double shafted nema 17 motor mounted on the
nominal center of a 20x20 alu extrusion used for a top/rear frame rail.
So that motor is in the middle of a 21" hunk of alu extrusion
Its coupled to the ends on the x axis via 10" 8mm rods running from each

Done that to oil cans :)

Thanks everyone. Last night I spent a while watching youtube videos. There
were a few Tormach ones that clarified things even if they did leave out the
occasional detail. I can see that for a CNC converted manual lathe removing
the compound slide is pretty well a must do. Both for stability
Interesting. Don't need switches for that but do need an index on the
leadscrew.

You might try the FADAL mill method.
They use two arrows (markers). One on the moving member and one on the
unmoving member. You physically align the arrows and run the home routine.
The next found index mark on the encoder is the home position.

There are some new slicer optimizations to make better use of 0.6mm nozzles.
