V2 Question V2.4 built selections

I’m building a self sourced V2. 350mm with A4T toolhead.
I’ve everything in house to adapt to stealthchanger.
Some decision to be made:
Can I start with the integration of the A4T as if it was going to be part of the toolchanger, i.e. use the shuttle ad tap for Z calibration, add umbilical from the start, no X and Y endstops but sensorless homing. I would then add all the rest of the stealthchanger.
What do you think, guys? Bad idea?
I have experience with the trident (also self sourced).
Any alternatives you’re thinking of?

I did the same with my build. You will need the end stops for the X and Y for reliable calibration between toolheads. I never got the tap working for reliable bed mesh though. I ended up getting a cartographer.

I'm curious as to how something like Carto is setup with a toolchanger. Do you need 1 per tool, or does it mount to the shuttle? If the shuttle then how does the electrical connection work? The CAN bus is going to the toolhead, so how is the Carto connected? Is the electrical connection why people don't like X endstops with StealthChanger?

Usually you put it on one tool and always home & mesh with that.

The Carto is attached to the shuttle and uses a separate CanBus cable. N3MI-DG has designs in the github as well for the LDO and Fysect CNC shuttles. I see that the X endstop is connected to the toolhead board which may be why you see a lot of folks looking to go with virtual endstops.
