QtPlasmaC "shouldn't" jog if breakaway, float, or ohmic are tripped.

Did not know that, PlasmaC did and i did ram the torch once testing it.
More testing ...

Yeah, we couldn't do it in either Axis or Gmoccapy. But you convinced us it would be a good idea for QtPlasmac.

The switch needs to be mounted so you can't smash it no matter what.

I’m in the process of some tweaks as I plan to move to the roller style micro switch per JTs pic and what Rod had also shown me.  Aim is to do a no smash set up per comments.   

After some tinkering in CAD have these ideas for float and Z limit switching.  Uses "simple" switches that are not able to be smashed and have stops that should be adjustable to fine tune the stop trigger position.
Float switch:
 

Z Limit Switch:
 

As an aside I see the forum has a new editor look. But where the heck is the post preview?  I'm probably being blind or missing the point somewhere but can not see/find it and really missing the ability to preview a post before hitting submit.

Much better!
And shhhh about the editor, there are some angry members here regarding it !
