This is a fantastic log, thank you, I've learnt a lot. Can I ask, is there anything in the design that prevents the working area being cut down a bit to fit in a specific space, or would simply shortening everything work?

 

For X , Y and Z+ Axis you can wiring limit switch to protect machine run out of working area but in the new design of iD2CNC v.2.1 , it doesn't have drill position to attach limit switch (It depend on user , but if user need to attach limit switch then can see some idea here --> iD2CNC Limit switch attach )

For Z- , If you concern when the machine cut down (Z-) and will damage the table top then you can put some thin plywood , acrylic before your work piece.

Neat! but some of those instruction pages looked pretty intimidating.
