    I put a new power supply on my printer and the Z axis runs very differently, the good news however is that I can just unplug the power cord from the outlet and not also the printer, then plug into the outlet, then into the printer as my old one did. I wonder if the zaxis will end up working differently for different power supplies. Could also be the reason I was having issues previously. May likely do some improvement on the x-axis in the future as well.

    Note: the calibration file has tuning values for the zaxis, I'll tweak them this evening after this print completes. Hopefully if I can reinvent the zaxis code it won't vary from machine to machine or power supply to power supply, or whatever the issue might be that I'm having.

    Maybe you could add into the software a user input variable so it could be tweaked via software input

    There is a calibration hook for it, I used it a bit and it sounded a little better, but I didn't validate it moved well.
