    Anet A8 Printer acting weird when send in a print???

    Hi, I am new to making 3D Printers and got the Anet A8 3D Printer put it together and everything worked perfectly until I Sent in a print with Cura.exe and even tried to do it on micro usb but got the same results.
    What happens is when I send the print in it says its starting to print and moves to get into position but when it hits the z axis endstop the z axis left motor moves the bar upwards fast but the z axis right motor doesn't move it up also when it says its printing no filament comes out of hotend even though if I push it through it does come out as seen in this video:

    Also I am getting red flashing lights on the Anet A8 motherboard as seen in this video:

    Here is a picture of the error code when I canceled the print on Cura.exe if that helps:

    Thanks in Advance!

    Yes but now filament wont extrude and have no idea why?
    I did check the securing screws in the extruder gear as seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1biep3nloz...03847.jpg?dl=0

    I also tried controlling the extruder gear on Repetier Host but that was unsuccessful as seen in this video:

    and it seems to all be connected correctly. I am unable to push the filament hard enough w the idler pulley is not being pressed.
    I checked and set the steps per mm of the extruder to 95 on printer and in software as seen here:

    I see the plugs are all plugged in correctly and firmly as seen in this video:
