Thanks man, really appreciate it. Yeah, I have no experience with them yet. I have a busy few days, but I’ll post as soon as I can.

I'll try out the gcode tomorrow, see if I can get it all working automatically now.

Yeah, I've been obsessing of every part of the build I must have spent a week on the frame, bought engineering squares...the whole bit. At least I did not have any issues with the electronics portion, everything worked great out the gate. Now just trying to get all these mechanical issues sorted. Shaper graphs, random vibrations, etc. In retrospect, I prob should have stayed away from IDEX. I will barely use it..lol.

Went from .345 to .194. I have had better, .127, but that was before I added the heat pad.

Okay just got home, trying this now. Doing it manually first before adding the gcode. Heat soaked the bed with the gantry as close as I could get it. Did a quick mesh and my back corners were low, so loosed and smacked them down a bit.
