I see no option now but to get another machine.
I'm adding the question "can the stepper motors be replaced at home" to my list of questions before my next purchase!
ok, begs the questions:

a) why would the stepper motor be the cause of loss of accuracy - is it losing steps or what?
b) why can't you replace it?

nothing is insurmountable...
