| 43 & up | 113.00 | 113.00 | 113.00 | 97.00 |
| If updating to version 43 or higher from 41 or lower, you may need to lower the steps per mm back to the previous values. Motion Controller version 43 is not yet available for download. It may be shipping on new units but testing is needed to make sure it is okay to use with previous released printers. |
