One thing which may help is to have a specific / standard order of operations — that way Carbide 3D would at least have a standard workflow to test against.
There is: http://docs.carbide3d.com/article/41-machine-operating-checklist which is similarly at: http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/Operating_Checklist — we could update a version somewhere w/ screengrabs from Carbide Create so as to create a standard version for that which should “just work”.
