Thank you Chris for this extensive testing this weekend! I will be back printing more this week with the Cube. I agree, the CubeitMod has more potential.
The more threading / horizontal lines cloud be from too much infill pushing out toward the outer layers. But the bigger problem is that it might come from acceleration issues, which cannot be controlled in the cube. I am not even sure if acceleration is enabled in the Cube's firmware.  Decreasing speed could help those lines.
It does seem to be harder to get the proper filament flow with CubeitMod, but further test will hopefully clear up these issues. Chris, did you end up changing the extruder gain in the hardware section from .0225 to .03? I will try to adjust those, maybe it will help with the flow.
My one major problem has been with one section of the stress / torture test. It is with the small columns!
I am attaching the stress test .stl file for you Chris, just to see if you run into similar issues. With the columns, it is skipping layers and there is major corner ringing on the outer walls.
Thanks again for testing
