..Did you add a stronger better brace to connect the Z to the Y axis?...
Not my printers, saved the pictures from The Stupidly Tall-merod tread:
[forums.reprap.org]
..my two printers still have the stock Z-axis hight but yes I did secure the connection between those axis on both, pulling the extrusions tight together with a 4mm screw, changed the z-foot for an aluminium one and added a "set square plate" in between the two extrusions

Hi Erik,
if I remember correctly the taller-one! the strongest! Ormerod
I never understand why you open with "The Stupidly Tall-merod"
It's a good opportunity to print models so high...
unfortunately I have no other space available..... for a delta too

The new firmware it's OK for Delta too.

Hi Dario
Not necessarily, not if the smaller one is named David and got a slingshot :-)

I did not name the tread, "static65" did that, I'm all for expanding the printer in any way possible, Ormerod to the Mooon! :-)

Yes I could do with a bit more hight as you can see from this horror print where I, on the fly while printing, had to loosen the screws and carefully lift the upper z what-ever-its-called thingie to finish the print - and still it left the poor girl with a solid dent in the upper command center

Comparision pic of old vs new firmware with part of the standard "owl" test 
The creases in the "wood" are about 1mm max at the edges, with the previous 1.09a you can see buildup and glitches the new one on the right is considerably better.

If you go higher with the M566 X and Y values can you get other problems - undershoot? or actually break something 
Thanks again btw, as I said better prints are just a bonus to the fast homing, got real tiring waiting for it, especially when I forgot and left a homing action in the g code so it did it twice.
Forgot to say I did a test print at 100% and the ones in the pic are at 150%, no discernible difference.
Also with the newer firmware when it did the small moves the motor sounds stayed constant whereas with the older ones it sounded strained as I guess it was slowing down.

If you go too high with the M566 values you will eventually start getting missed steps. You will probably hear that something is not right if this happens.
