    Thanks for the help Saturday night. I did have me thermistor and fan wire mixed up. It heats up fine.

    Other problems persists. I'm not calibrated correctly. I can't find the sweet spot for the starting z axis, its all over the place. Last night the bottom layer was't even printing out on a calibration cube

    Today i worked on Extruder calibration. When i extrude 100mm I am getting 88mm out. I changed it in firmware twice changing the value and with flashing I still get 88mm out on 100mm request. Something possibly I am overlooking?
    I am thinking this needs to be right before the starting z and adhesion

    Yep, you forgot to flush the EEPROM probably (Flash EPROM).

    Here are the details about that (these commands are done in a GCode terminal)

    ==== EEPROM GCodes ====
    M500 Store current settings in EEPROM for the next startup or M501.
    M501 Read all parameters from EEPROM. (Or, undo changes.)
    M502 Reset current settings to defaults, as set in Configurations.h. (Follow with M500 to reset the EEPROM too.)

    So after firmware is fixed you need the M502 and an M500 at some point for them to work.
