I'll also experiment with upping the speed and see what happens. I've got a non contact thermometer somewhere so I should be able to get decent temperature figures.
Cool. What retract rate are you using? Are you using RAMPS? Can you measure the reference voltage setting on the drivers?

The speeds I'm using were stock at the time I purchased my kit.

I provided some feedback to Colin regarding the current settings, but he didn't seeme very receptive. He just told me the heat shouldn't be a problem, and for the most part it isn't. I wonder if he's tuning something differently now.
