The line numbers serve no purpose, other than a visual aid to help you find something quickly. So just paste or type your code right in there.

Desk engrave is pretty basic in function. If you need to do anything that requires a bit of art, I doubt it will do you any good. Don't get me wrong, it does work nicely for some things, the price is right, and I do use it myself for some things. http://www.deskam.com/products.htm

Never really considered mine a problem. It doesn't affect anything, at least not that I'm aware of. No lost steps or anything of that nature. I will hafta take a sound recording.

Mine do the same thing on every axis. I just thought it was natural. If were talking about the same little "tick" it will speed up/slow down if you adjust the acceleration.

Yeah, you definitely got something set wrong. Mine makes a perfect cup of brew every time. I think it's set in Tea mode by default. Go to  CONFIG>GENERAL CONFIG and switch it to coffee. Set the strength to your taste as well. There used to be a macro around here somewhere that would switch from Tea/100% to to coffee/50% halfway through the brew cycle. Was called the "toffea" macro if memory serves correct. Enjoy!
