We're getting a situation where the x-axis is not tracking perfectly...pretty sure it is because of a stripped screw into the x-axis stepper motor preventing the complete tightening of that belt. As a result, things we print that should be perfectly round end up with bumps at "11:00 and 5:00" and if it has a flat top surface - like a washer - there will be spaces in the top and bottom faces where the bumps occur.

I hope Makerbot is not growing too big to maintain the service reputation they very obviously once had.
