      I currently got new closed looped stepper drivers and got the printer homing correctly while the drivers are set to open loop. What is the next step to start tuning the drivers to begin printing with them? Ill post my confige file below.

          It will not let me post my config file but at the start of a print it crashes into the side of the frame of the printer.

            OK, you won't start closed-loop tuning by starting a print right away.

            You'll need to go one-axis-at-a-time and get them moving properly first.

            • Put everything in open-loop and make sure you can move each axis back-and-forth small moves using G1 commands before going the next step.

            You can start up and home everything in open-loop mode.
            Then switch to closed-loop mode and try a short move.

            If you encoder is hooked up backwards, the axis will run full-speed and smash into a hard stop. Be prepared for that
            
            • Start with the X axis and make sure you can home in open-loop mode, that you can move 10mm forward, 10mm backwards and that the head moves about 10mm each time and THEN switch to closed-loop and try the 10mm moves again.
            PLEASE be super careful not to get hurt. closed-loop tuning on a newly-wired-up system can be SUPER dangerous.
            

            Send us the commands you entered and the results you got.

              @alankilian Everything was homing fine in open loop so I switched to closed loop on the X and Y. Using the web controllers movement controls i began moving the x in small increments of 1mm each way and it moved fine so I tried 10mm and it continued moving fine. I then tried homing X and it also homed without any issue. I did the same for the Y and everything worked fine. I then homed all and it did without any issues.

                OK, so you have the encoders hooked up properly and everything is setup to start tuning.

                I would start by printing a box that is one wall thick and about 30mm square at a VERY SLOW speed.

                This will show how well your motors are following the commanded position at setting #0 on the rotary switch S1 on the CL57T V4.0.

                After that, you should increase the speed to where you want it to be and if everything is OK, you're done!

                      Okay ill do that and let you know how it goes. Since I had to change my home all coordinates for the Y position when the Z axis is homing, will this effect coordinates for a print?

                        I don't know,

                        Home the printer and then use G1 to move to someplace.

                        Then measure the distance from the printer's origin to that location and see if it matches.

                          I think it should only matter if you've changed M208.

                            @phaedrux Okay my only concern before starting a print is before i changed my drivers, in front of the rear lead screw it was reading that Y was at 85 and now it is reading at 315 at that lead screw. Also when i look at the code for a print it has Y coordinates less than 315 which isnt on my build plate.

                              You should do some careful positioning testing before starting a print.

                                  Okay so I've been messing around with movement on my printer and notice the distance the printer head is moving is not correct. Before my maximum for the x and y was 415, but when i would try to go to X0 Y0 it could go to Y0. So I set the maximum to 115 for both the X and Y and now it can go to X0 Y0. Why is the distance my print head is traveling reading differently now?

                                    I don't quite understand, I'm sorry.

                                    If you can type in the exact GCODE commands you are typing and tell us what you expect to happen and what actually happens it will help understand what's going wrong.

                                      My bed length and width is 415mm but after getting everything going in the right direction when I command the printer to move to X115 Y115 it will travel to what should be 415mm.

                                        I still don't understand because you didn't follow my instructions telling me what GCODE commands you enter.

                                        But I'll guess (Which wastes all our time)

                                        OK, you ask the printer to move 115mm in X and 115mm in Y and is actually moves 415, in X and 415mm in Y?

                                        That would mean you are commanding too many steps.

                                        Maybe change

                                        And see if it gets closer to the right move length.
