Topic: Press hardware Questions

I'm not a Press user, but I'm trying to help someone who is, and my experience with my Solidoodle 3 doesn't seem to work well with his SD Press.  So I have a few basic questions that I'm sure can be answered here.

1.  What kind of Z rod does the Press come with from the factory?  Is it metric, imperial, what's the size, pitch, etc.
2.  Does the Press use MXL belts, or GT2?
3.  Can someone post the default (factory) settings from the EEPROM ( snapshot of the EEPROM configuration would be very helpful.

His current settings are pretty much all over the place, some would indicate metric hardware, yet others indicate imperial, so I can't trust his current settings.  I need to know what the standard, factory hardware is.

Thank guys.

I have no idea how we would. There's next to nothing in the manual and searches for "Solidoodle Press" find only pages about other Solidoodle models with phrases like "press some button". There are a few support pages on Solidoodle's site about the Press now (3 months after I got mine) and none of them cover even the basics of finding spare parts.
