yeah 0.9 - and so far utterly failed to update it or change settings.
I do have a spare mks gen 1.4, but unless I can figure out some way to plug 2 z-motors into it - it's not much use for the ctc.

so if you slice a model with s3d and stick it on a sd card it works ?
but not if you use direct usb ? (which you're not going to do much)

That doesn't make any sense - but it sounds like your startup gcode isn't configured properly.
You're using the same boards and extruders, bed levlellers etc, on all your machines aren't you ?
