Status update. I found an issue with one of the limit switches. It was sticking out too far and interfering with the homing of that particular axis. This caused it never to home and the stepper motor would just click endlessly as it bumped up against the end of the rail. After repositioning it homes just fine.

This is the back of the machine were the CO2 laser tube is kept. You can see the first of the 3 first surface mirrors used to direct the beam.

Damn it China. You had one job. Missing a few screws and ball bearings. Nothing too bad so far. Hope to do a crude test before the weekend ends. Crosses fingers.
