I understand that. However I already upgraded my my Z axis per https://discuss.inventables.com/t/best-upgrade-ever/42282
Which eliminates that issue.
But even without that upgrade, depending on your spindle setup and/or longer bits, you can adjust it somewhat to still hit the wasteboard with taller end plates. But even then, I have had an occasion or two that needed to carve or etch the top of a 1.5" piece of material.
I just posted this to see if there’s interest.
