    I'm not going to mess with it at this point.

    That is a good rule of thumb :)

    I'm pretty happy with my prints four days into this so. What's a good way to minimize vibrations?

    Just make sure that the belts are tight and that none of the drive cogs on the motor shafts are loose. That will cure any mechanical issues. Then lower the acceleration in the firmware a bit. 9000 is a really silly setting. I run mine at a max of 1500 and the one I use as a detail printer it is as low as 300

    I must confess the G coding has me really confused. I looked in there to adjust the nozzle earlier and didn't see anything that I recognized from my research and what you replied with. Would you recommend a site I can learn more from? Thank you for your help Mark.

    Well, the best option for the software is to look for a section on the slicer where it defines what is called the STARTUP GOCDE or something similar. You should see a rather small section with something like (maybe) a G28; That is where you would add the M565. It is pretty software specific so I can't be too much more clear than that. In Simplify3D it is under the process settings on the scripts tab and then under STARTUP GCODE. Other software (repetier host, cura, mattercontrol) all do it differently. Here is what the docs say for MatterControl:

    http://wiki.mattercontrol.com/SETTINGS/Printer/Custom_G-Code/Start_G-Code

    So add it after the G28; and then after the M565 add a G29;

    G28;
    M565 Z-1.0;
    G29;

    The G29; tells it to run the autoleveling tests (where it samples 9 places on the bed).

    As for learning GCode ... just refer to the REPRAP reference. I don't have a nice course or anything to recommend.

    http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code

    You will see the G28; the G29; and the M565 on there :)
