Important note on application with 3D printer:
RepRap's Cartesian axes all need a datum (also known as home position or end-stop) to reference their movements. At the start of each build each axis needs to back up until the datum point is reached.
For RepRap, you can use one opto-switch for each axis to define its position. The opto switches also help to protect the machine from moving past its intended range and damaging itself.
