Admittedly nimble's require you to know what you are doing to get them set up, but that's not the products fault if someone can't test and analyse things.

I can assure you that I tried many different configs and setups to remedy the problem with my nimble, and have seen many pictures of people with the same or similar problems, to the best of my knowledge no one has solved this problem to date,
Stating that you need to be an expert or have a lot of knowledge to setup a nimble will just put beginners and new users off.

I own a nimble and two of the new open source G5 flex3drives the flex3drives worked out of the box and delivered perfect extrusions, which the nimble did not, I messed about with it for 3 months support sent me some new gears but it was the same, It suffered with a weave pattern on all prints and uneven extrusions, The nimble sits in its box collecting dust while the flex3drives are used daily with no problems, And now the flex3drive is open source you can buy the parts and print your own in FDM or SLS / A
Ive always found the support from flex3drive good not that I needed it much.

I have had a lot of the same issues using the v1.20+1 I used to get the odd issue with v1.20 but no where near as much as v1.20+1 I will revert back to v1.20 for now
