found this from March but can’t even find the article Luc is referring to, nor any other “current” info, nor in the store… Anyone got a clue if/when these will ever be available for the HDZ version I bought about 3 months ago?

Hi Todd,
check this out
We wanted to show everyone something a little new in the next batch of HDZ units, the HDZ 4.0:

The biggest change is a new bearing arrangement that uses two angular contact bearings in the motor mount to constrain the ball screw. Theoretically, this should be a little better than the prior versions but it makes assembly much easier and predictable than prior versions, which is the core reason we changed.
HDZ 4.0 will also only have a mount for inductive homing switches, the mec…

Yes, we will, please see:
@Luke would be better to ask about this but one way or another, we’ll have an option for existing HDZ’s
The proximity switch kit has options which should be compatible with all Z axis, Original, HDZ (all versions), Z Plus etc… This makes it a retrofit option for all users if wanted. We have tried to make it really nice (also affordable - pricing will be announced soon when we are able to offer them).
