SUCCESS!!!! .... so far..... one print done, 100%. It looks much better even printing at the same 0.2mm layer thickness.

I'll use MatterControl with MatterSlice for now to not complicate with other programs. You mentioned x,y,z speeds specifically and I don't see them in MatterControl/Slice with Advanced view enabled. Where are these settings? For this I am using ABS and a standard printing quality. Below is my config ...

ok, both replies make a lot of sense. I thought that the stock movement speed was high. I'll chop it way down to 25% of what it is now, say 75mm/s as I think the stock is 300mm/s. Tensioning the belts; I put just enough tension that the carriages didn't wiggle from slack but still loose enough that ...

I can replicate this with MatterControl using both slicing engines (Matterslice and Slic3r) where I set the Z lift as noted below but the head still drags across the print. The z lift seems to be in ...
