Hey all,

i'm creating my own 3d printer with the coreXY theory.

i'm almost finished with the mechanical part of the printer and now i'm reading about the electronic/arduino part of it. (i know how arduinos work (playing with it for 10 years now) thats why i like to use marlin, and its cheap smiling smiley )
but my quastion is if one of the steppers skips a step the Y axis wil be crooked thats why i want to have 2 endstops on the Y axis so when it homes it corrects it self.
i know the X axis will also be crooked but the X axis endstop will correct that.
is there a feature inside the marlin firmware that can do this.

so
2x endstop for Y axis
1x endstop for X axis
1 or 3 x endstop for Z axis (maby i will add the auto bed level feature)

and offcource i understand the stepper should not skip a step, but i think it will be a pain in the a$$ if i need to do this manuel all the time, durring calibration the max speed for the printer.

and is there a tool change feature on marlin?
i like to have my E3D verion 6, volcano and a dremmel on it.

kind regards, Emile B
