This morning I reverted back to Marlin 1.1.9, left all the settings the same though. I think I figured out the + - issue with the firmware. I watched a video on youtube and If I understand correctly it is backwards because the probe is higher than the extruder. I still have no explanation as to why the printer is starting the prints with the z axis at .3 though. I went ahead and let it print a test piece. Other than the fact that the bottom layer looks like crap and is raised because the z starts at .3, the printer actually doesn’t print bad. I don’t think its a motor slipping, I mean it starts at .3 consistently every time. I’m about ready to just scrap it.
