I made those changes and not my print head moves to the front left when homingIf you send G91 followed by G1 H2 X10 does the carriage move 10mm in the +X direction (normally to the right) or in the -X direction (normally left)?

Okay I just had to reverse the motor directions and everything is moves alright. Now the only thing I am having issues is with printing files. I use ideamaker and it prints fine when going in a straight line but slows down to almost a crawl and extrudes a lot of plastic then speeds up again. Also the travel speed during the print is real slow. I think i might have something to do with the Print Start gcode. Could you share what it should look like for reprap firmware. This is my first time using anything other than marlin. I attached the gcode i tried to print

If you look at the comments in your start gcode you can see where it is over writing your speed settings from config.g. Remove those lines from the start gcode.

Do I need to put the command to use abl in the start gcode? I ran mesh compensation from duetweb so does the load it automatically when prints start -
The syntax for M376 in RRF is a bit different. It only sets the taper height. See here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M376_Set_bed_compensation_taper
To enable the mesh bed compensation you would want to use G29 to run it fresh, or G29 S1 to load a saved heightmap.

So no matter how many times I adjust the Z offset everytime I do a print the first layer comes out to 0.26 instead of 0.2. I have calibrated my esteps and flow rate is calibrated so I think it might have to do with slicer start code

What do you mean by that? You're measuring the thickness of the first layer or what?

@Phaedrux
I was measuring the thickness but I got that sorted out. The only thing I am stuck on now is trying to get ideamaker to work. It always over extrudes way too much around the corners. With my other printers I use a mix of S3D, Cura, and ideamaker. I have only got Cura working so far. -
Have you tuned pressure advance?
I'm not familiar with ideamaker.

@Phaedrux
I don't have it on yet. I was going to try that after I get everything working. I am going to try S3D today
