@uncle_bob: I suspect that putting the inverse kinematics into firmware will get easier and easier. I am avoiding writing firmware for a few reasons. Eventually, I will be addressing the firmware. I would expect a solution in the future that only requires that you specify the inverse kinematics and the rest will be taken care of. I think Marlin is almost there but you have to be mindful of hardware restrictions.
Also, in regards to the drop plate connecting at the weakest point, I can move it next to the column. However, besides looking bad if it droops and warps, it won't matter as long as I don't pick up any bad vibration during a print. Easy change.
