What's your speed per step setting? I found anything over 700 would lose steps.

Windell, good point, I'll try to increase the current and see if that helps. What's the max steps per second you can achieve?
Would you ever want to plot at those speeds anyway?
When I try to plot at high speeds the pen arm goes 'haywire' when hatching
small moves, like there are 'resonance' in the arm d.t. inertia. To avoid this I align the hatching in the X-direction so the small moves are done by the egg and not the pen arm.

I'm printing at speeds around 50-100 steps / s. No need to hurry :-)
The odd thing is: this happens if I print designs which are approx. 180 deg.
The glass is rotated nicely and suddenly it is "set back" around 5-10 deg and the overlapping starts...
I will try the circle print and adjust while printing. Maybe I can reproduce it somehow.
Till now I tried it with the Hello World print from examples and adjusted the current then but couldn't get to a point where it happened.
Btw. might be an usefull info : I'm using a Mac
