I then had to adjust the z stepper motor a little more because it wasn't stepping far enough and was messing up prints. So far it's done pretty well.

Any luck fixing this?

I'm going to try over and under-ramping the offending Vreg chip tonight, see if it makes any difference. Maybe strap a fan/tiny heatsink onto the electronics too.

Proper Voltages
X axis: .443
Y axis: .520
Z axis: .500
Extruder: .192

The motor may be pulling too much current, and the pause may be the chip shutting down temporarily.

Maybe try putting a fan on the chip too.

Now every print job I've tried completes about 10-15 layers and then pauses for a second then then shifts either forward or backward and continues printing. I tried an update to the firmware that was available but it doesn't help. It would occasionally do this before I replaced the chip but now it's every print. Any ideas?
