Thanks Tom.

My experience: I have a NMC in an 1160 printer that has never gone
wrong. I also have a MIS in a second 1160 -- on this one, the print
head sometimes gets tangled in the tubes. I blame the stiffer MIS
tubing. I intend to make a new bracket to hold the tubes higher above
the printer -- until I do that, I just keep fiddling and cursing...
