Setting a different home

When my Shapeoko initializes and homes it goes to the far right corner.
Any reason for this?
Is there a way to set the home to the front left?

Limit switches / sensors are at the Right, Back, at Top of the axes.
These are not closed loop systems, so this insures that you are starting at a repeatable index location (Machine Home, or Zero).

OK. So the simple answer was No, for a New Home position. That’s fine. I thought I heard of it being done.

I’m curious why you need a new home position?

I thought it would be just a bit quicker to home and adjust from the front left corner instead of it traveling to the rear all of the time.

As others pointed the homing switches are in the right rear corner. So if time is a factor the C3D machines are pretty quick in updated CM but if that amount is not enough to save then move your work closer to the right rear. If the time wasted in homing and jogging are too much maybe you should look at an industrial machine with much greater speed and price. Unfortunately there is no good answer if speed is your primary requirement. I am not knocking C3d but this is a hobby machine with some of the newer machines dipping their toe in the in between of hobby and industrial (SO5/HDM).
