My monstrosity lol. Thx for the advice on the ramps->extruder wiring. Only thing I have left to do is calibration, I do have more questions though.
I have all the jumpers under the stepper controllers on right now, firmware is pretty much unmodified. My axis steppers seem to be moving about 1/10th of the distance they are supposed to, in other words I try to move an axis 10mm and it seems to only go about 1mm.
What’s the best way to adjust the step size, jumpers or firmware?
Also, in repetier host there’s not many options I can find for the z axis. In a normal setup with repetier and slic3r is it expected that 0 on z axis is all the way up, and all motion is negative to go towards the print bed? Or is it expected that 0 is touching the print bed and all motion is positive to move away? Or something different?
Using linuxCNC the z axis was configurable, am I missing the config screen for it in repetier or is it just not there?
What firmware are you using?
(If using Repetier Firmware) If you fire up Repetier host and connect to the board then go into Printer EEPROM you should see the places to change the steps / mm for the steppers. You should be able to calculate the steps per mm based on the stepper micro steps and pulley tooth count.
Usually with the printers the bed is 0. Depending on the type of printer though, the Z may home to Z max then go down a known distance to the bed 0 (like a delta or my old Prusa) or they can home to Z min and be at 0. 3d printers don’t usually go negative when printing.
OK so I got the step size good, I set min to 0 for all axis and set home to min and 0 in the eeprom and app. I don’t have endstops, so just relying on software home. When I hit home all, or start to run any gcode all axis go the opposite direction of home and don’t stop. Any ideas? 0 is front, left and down and when you hit home all everything moves positive(back, right and up) and doesn’t stop. I tried disabling the endstops in the config, but I suspect I messed something up
I think I got it, first print running 
Ok. I was going to say just flip the stepper motor wires over.
It turned out to be more firmware settings, steppers were moving properly just moving opposite way than what I thought was right when homing. I set homing dir to -1 all around so it homes towards min, then enabled all software homing stuff, and disabled all hardware stuff.
First print ever for me:) was exciting but came out like crap lol. I tried a 40mm cube and not sure what happened but aft 4-5 layers the nozzle started running into the previous layer. I stopped the job, homed all, and then I moved z up and out of the way. However when I moved z up 10 y also moved about 300, so not sure what happened there but it didn’t seem right. More tinkering I suppose…
