    So when i get home from work, the hotend is clogged, i will clear that and try to reprint the repaired file. If that does not work, i will open the stl file in cura and export it to the sd card that way.

    Check the start of the GCode to make sure the Z offset is there (and correct).

    The hotend was clogged, I unclogged it, auto homed it and it's printing the calibration cube great now.

    On PLA are you using an oilier? Ever since I started using one I haven't had a clog.

    I have the plans to print 1 out, for now every time I change filament, I dip about an 1" into Canola oil.

    Also make sure that the microns are around 0.8-1.1, z-offset 0
