Both (or 3) problems stem from the same basic issue.
Trying to do a very cheap machine, very light, means the machine will be 90% performance limited.
So one pays 100% for a small machine and only gets 10% of performance from it.
The section sizes for everything in seig, syil, skyfire, should be at least double, and the spindle column likewise, with thicker walls.
