> Webcam.

See? That's why I love LinuxCNC: you actually *could* replace a pair of 
microswitches with a webcam and a dollop of image processing software!

And it would make sense, because the webcam would eliminate mechanical 
constraints. It might also give better performance at a lower cost, at 
least in this age of $5 webcams.

A bit of optical trickery on a second webcam would give you a real-time, 
two-axis, filament diameter measurement tool.

Yup, this could work...
