I finished the wiring of the print head and set up the homing procedure. This is the first speed test, the print head travels 700mm each move. This is not the maximum speed of the printer, this is the maximum speed I felt comfortable with trying, at this time. Acceleration is set to 2000mm/s^2 which can probably be increased, I didn't feel like calculating the actual speed the print head is traveling at at its top speed, but it is below the set max speed of 1000mm/s.

For the time being, I'm happy with the results :)
