• Consider configuring post script to safely “park” router away from stock. Has pros and cons:

My mistake. That is to be expected. I end my jobs at Z positive steppers stay powered (with a pause at the end so they do not power off), to clear the workpiece and have a gcode saved on the card called “park”. It homes to ZMAX, Then X and Y, after that it drives down to Z min and powers down. So it is parking the head at Z min and it has no dropping left to do. You can do all that in your ending G code, but I prefer to have the safety of my working coordinates being saved in case I made a mist…

• Consider 1-start leadscrew with 24V PSU:

These add friction all the time though. So it can make lifting the router harder (which can lead to skipping steps). A 1-start leadscrew and a 24V PSU (more voltage increases the top speed) is a decent alternative. But parking at a spot where it doesn’t matter is free.
