-* ****STRANGE NOISE**** the rocker switch for the X-axis homing has lost its metal arm. The X-axis will not home, it will keep stepping until it reaches the end and them make really loud grinding noises. But after that it will print normally. Need a new switch
-*April 26th 2017, got great prints with the Bright Yellow PLA using these settings: 220C, speed 40 mm/s, flow 115%.
 * Operational ... it can be Problematic
 ** Using a Brim to hold parts to the Print Bed is strongly recommended.
-** Bed was leveled but Print Bed is NOT perfectly flat!
+** Bed was leveled but Print Bed is NOT perfectly flat! (O.K. for small X/Y size prints.)
-** Use 1/4 or 1/8 turn Z axis Zero Stop adjusts  '''instead''' of trying to re-level the Print Bed.
+** The Z axis Zero Stop is inconsistent/unreliable. It is set a bit low & user manually turns the Z-asix screw (clockwise) to bring head down just until 1st layer of plastic is flat.
 ** If head too close & extruder starts clicking, that can cause filament feed problems.
 * Loaded with Bright Yellow 2.85mm PLA
