extrusion length for 420mm z-axis (ala zaribo 320)? #69

I'm considering doing a from-scratch build of a mk3 full upgrade, rather than having to live without a mk3 for while, and am wondering if it makes sense to go for an extended Z since the incremental cost of buying 10cm longer motors, guide rods, and extrusions is modest. What would be the correct cut list for the Z-axis extrusions to accommodate this? 331mm + 100mm = 431mm?

I would post questions on the Discord Bear forum or Facebook group. I think you'll get a better response than you will filing issues here.
