 yes i saw it, meant to post it, thank you bill.  look at the video:
can you see how much the printbed, which is on springs, is shaking
side-to-side? whoops... :)  the drag force of the filament is *so
great* it's causing the printbed to move sideways.

 it just goes to show that you need to cover *all* the bases.  any one
thing (and i forgot to stabilise the printbed too) and you get
rubbish-for-a-print.
