After tuning my vref, the printer was missing steps still. I pulled the trigger and am swapping from the 4.2.2 to the 4.2.7 creality board to see if that resolves the issue.

While i was in there, I figured I’d put another z axis motor on there.

Do you guys have any recommendations on firmware or should I just stick with creality’s?

      Instructions unclear, I’ve given the whole printer a bath and now all it does is blow bubbles

        I actually worked at a facility where we really did thoroughly clean (inkjet) printers since the customer returns would get NASTY.

        Some of the electronics, like those on the printer head, are actually fine with a good rinsing as long as you then thoroughly dry them off with the air hose.

        This surely does not transfer to modern 3D printers.
