@Aroth
thanks for your reply,
i did try that, just skipping through the steps, but then when i got the the filament loading step, i was worried i was going to damage something like you mentioned,
but i guess like you said if anything the filament will get damaged and not the feeder (hopefully)
at that step though, as far as i can see, there is no way to cancel or move past steps, it seems like you've just got to go through them,
i think just clicking through like you say as quickly as possible might be the best way through this,
anyway, going to give that a try now (fingers crossed)
will post back what happens,
seems to me like there should be a way around this though...?
will also keep an eye out for that firmware bug you mentioned,
