@jweismiller Thanks for the advice! I'll try that. BTW, I'm only using 1/8 steppings, if that affects the sound. My reasoning is that at 1/8 steppings I'm already throwing a step pulse every 3 or so stepper timer interrupts, when the code would prefer every 8. I figured 1/16 steppings would be a bit harsh.
If you are using the pololu drivers, it sounds like you have the current set too high on the steppers. You should set the current to zero on each axis, and then slowly increase the current until you can not make the axis skip by hand anymore.
I have my MakerBot running at 16X without any problems on the Gen 3 electronics.

Great job, BTW :)
