Yeah. You're right. It doesn't hurt but is actually redundant. I think
the original intention was to break instead of falling through.

I like this, but the code clearly depends on MAX_AXIS. So, if MAX_AXIS
will be always 3, then the change you suggest is just fine. Otherwise,
it seems that adding a break to each case is the right way to go.

What do you think?

Thanks for the feedback.
