How long are the cables from the controller to the apprentice. I would hate to have to wait for extensions after I receive my apprentice.

Hello! I bought the apprentice (batch 2), it said ““Shipping Late Feb 2026”, is there any update on it?

Second topic: I saw on youtube comments and here on the forum that if many users ask for the 4th axis, the developers may consider building one. I couldnt find a topic on the forum for this, so posting here, I would buy if it was available! I vote for the 4th axis add on!

Are there limit switches or hard stops for homing the Apprentice? I understand the Apprentice is an open loop system. Watching what few videos there are I see the machine needs homed before operation. I have used other open loop systems with and without limit switches.
