Re: Testing waters to sell some of my production machines

... they are TMC2130 drivers, apparently. Its possible I got a "pre-production" run of them.

Re: Pre-Rev. E HBP Wire Bracket Upgrade

I stuck a Keenovo 250W/24v heater directly to the underside of a MIC6 plate, and I'm using your bracket to strain-relief the corregated tubing. Hopefully it goes well :)
