Hi Gene, take the attached file for 5mm calibration steps and put it into Cura for slicing. This is about as simple as it gets for initial tests. Download https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622 for the benchy-boat torture test. After you optimized that, you are a master. Let me tell you that I admire your ambitious mind and perseverance, knowing your age. Respect! Karl
