Hi Guys, slowly managing to get back to the forum after a year I would rather do without, can anybody help recall, somebody was on about smoothing out the stepper motors, I think it was a little pcb that was placed inline, i’m not sure but I have a vague memory it may have been Gudo but have not been able to find the discussion. I would like to try this smoother upgrade to both my UM2 and Sues WDi3+ this Xmas/ new year.

Remember that Pediatric Hospital visit I did? The hospital released their video and the local news is also airing it. :)

Just beware that it will affect heat and torque.
I never used them. But @Neotko that wrote about installing them posted an update after using them for a while.

It's also called the "salmon skin" effect, since the Tevo Tornado is prone to this issue

Yesterday went to the Last of the Jedi. It is a complete failure, comrades. Safely flying without a spacesuit in space Leia. After a direct hit in the bridge. WTF? You can go on to describe the problems of this movie, but everything pales in front of one, the most important: there is nothing what would be worth it to revisit again.

Well, if I have to choose between a non-functional forum and just "eye cancer" I prefer the latter :-P

Although you can argue about the look and feel, to which I agree with you,...it _actually_ works as a forum now..."finally".

It's been pummeling me with email notifications. I changed the settings and it is a bit better.

Like any new forum software, it will take them a while to nail down the administration....and us, some time to get used to it.

But...It loads quickly and I can actually browse now!

They seem to have the same spammer issue though as Youmagine has since a long time on and off.

You can actually switch to the standard forum board, which is actually decent because it also fixes the stupid scrolling top bar.
