    Awhile ago, this caught my eye:

    Long time no update.

    I've been running with the original wood y-bed for around a year, and was living with the warping, since it was just missing direct interference with anything.

    Agreed..., but it is a special case in the code, so might be worth testing the combined as well the individual homing operations.

    Small update:

    I paid attention to z-movement at the end of the past couple of prints.

    There is no z-movement during the end-of-print homing operation. FWIW, I'm homing XY with separate G28...

    Hmm (again). In ROBOCOP's case, the G28 X0 Y0, if that is the actual gcode being used, should not create any z-movement at all.

    MBL is disabled during most homing moves, but even that should...
