Interesting. So I'm guessing you're getting good results without the lever, with proper attachment?

I might just get several different types then and test them out, since I'll be designing proper mounts myself for this build. One disadvantage I see to the no-lever option is that the entire mass of the axis carriage will be crushing into the button when it finally stops, while the lever should mitigate that slightly due to its flexibility. Of course, that might hurt repeatability, especially if the lever bends over time.
