			* Occasionally (twice in ~20 jobs) this printer will go nuts while homing at the beginning of a print, and try to drive way out of bounds. It might (low confidence) ameliorate this to manually home from the menu each time before starting a job. Definitely watch it closely when starting a print, and be ready to shut it off.

			The printer went crazy while homing and made a big gouge in the bed. After rebooting, I did a very quick relevel and a few minutes of test printing, which seemed to go fine; but didn't have time for a thorough checkout. Recommend doing a careful leveling and test print before any big jobs.

			Releveled the bed with things hot; first layers look even neater now, except out in the very corners, past the leveling zones; those seem to slope up a bit, so the first layer gets really thin out there.
