Altmill Maintenance tasks

Chucky_ott · November 3, 2025, 3:18pm

The maintenance tasks in gSender are for a Longmill. I have an Altmill, so most of the tasks are not relevant to my machine. I know I can edit/delete/add the existing tasks but it would be nice if the they corresponded to the (Sienci) machine you have.

The maintenance task defaults were updated and made generic for any machine type with 1.5.0 release - it’s likely you just have the tasks from the prior version.
