New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-

Going to a single from a 4 is a huge change. The single thread lead screw should only require 1/4 the torque of the 4 thread lead screw BUT it needs to rotate twice as far to go the same distance in the Z. If your steps/mm were 400 they would now be 1600. If your fastest Z speed was 50 it is now 12.5. It needs to rotate 4 times as fast to hit the same speed it did before. So yes, I could see it missing steps.
If every thing is working free and easy then maybe lowering your max Accel on the Z would help. For reference the default on my Ender is 100. I've lubed the threaded rod with high-moly grease. The max speed it will handle is 45 or it starts to chatter.
