The Z axis motors are fighting each other.
that means on of your motors is wired in the opposite direction
-

TS is fine.
i beg to differ. The bad command 55 at the end is an indication.
-
@Veti Thats because I hit stop
Not the motors are moving away from endstops with hitting the positive values. Z still fighting each other. They are in series config because there are 2 on 1 driver
-
Paneldue5i is connected with ribbon cable only. How can it be wrong?

Z still fighting each other.
that mean you have to reverse the wiring of one of your stepper motors
-
@Veti
OK. TY. Hopefully I can gain progress now. -
Z wired right. Only thing is...small little problem....THE WIRE IS CUT!!! THRU 3 OF THE 4 WIRES ON ONE OF THE Z STEPPERS!!!!!
-
Luckily MicroCenter doesnt sell them. F me. They sell a bunch of Creality replacement parts. 10 min from me. Amazon it is. Ugh
I could repair it but its a new machine and i dont want to.
-
where is the wire cut?
-
@Veti Dead center LOL.
I wish they has a motor upgrade pack for this printer instead of buying them individually. I want .9 motors
I can have the new wires here by tomorrow, Sunday
-
Also, anyway of using the stock screen with the new Beta RR firmware? I saw it now supports 2 other screens. I dont know what chipset the stock screen has
-
do you have Heat-shrink tubing? or a solder iron.
fixing cut wiring is not that difficult -

fixing cut wiring is not that difficultYes of course....Im in IT.
I would rather buy new cables with the 4 pin already on them.
-
They also have jacketed wire but not terminated. Better protection.
-
Im just gunna repair it. Not in the mood to change shit around. Let u know what happens tom night. Thanks for the help
-
Well guess what...............HOMING WORKS!!!! Went to the endstops and stopped! Question...Z axis...positive value is up or down? Z positive and the bed moves down. I have a feeling its supposed to be reversed. I repaired the wire on one of the Z stepper wires.
-
And the BLT is making the bed stop moving up so that works. Now I guess I have to do a test print and adjust the distance from the nozzle to the bed, make sure the BLT is working on leveling, extruder speed, and manual bed leveling before I use the BLT

when the bed is at the bltouch trigger that is z=0 the further the bed moves away from the bltouch, z increases.
so for the ender 5 plus i think going down is positive -

I was reading the directions and they said 1 or 2 things have to be changed. As far as leveling, manual first then use the BLT? I guess use the wheel adjustments in each corner? How do I know when its correct? Should I use a level? Any way for the machine to tell me?

yes calibrate the z probe.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Calibrate_the_Z_probe_trigger_heightthen do a mesh bed leveling and look at the bed. (post a picture)
then calibrate your e steps
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Ender+3+Pro+and+Duet+Maestro+Guide+Part+4:+Calibration/40#s165then pid tune your bed and hotend.
