hum..... I'd not declare things perfect just yet.... I still see the occasional motor hesitation when running axis on the BBB (but so far not with TKEMC) - I have never run mini as the GUI so altering the mini code should not matter, and since I don't have a 3d printer I suspect that adjusting extruder temps won't alter things.... ;-) Dave
