For D3D 3D printer - 12" heated bed, 16" frame:

The sensor is on the left hand side in front of the extruder. This means that the configuration.h file must be changed.
With the MK8 extruder, protruding as forward as much as it is, 2" of travel are lost on the y axis. This can be improved with an extruder that is more compact in the Y direction, such as Prusa i3 MK2 extruder.
Endstop limits travel on X. Endstop location can be optimized on the left. On the right, a spacer for axis mounting can extend Z travel on the max X
Y min trave is ok
Z travel is only 7". 2" can be gained by modifying mounting of platform to Z axis by extending the mounting lower
Z travel can gain 1" vertically by raising extruder tip by 1"
There is a max of 10" available z travel on the Z axis based on the length of exposed rod.
