Phaedrux, that did the trick! I studied the info you linked and learned how printers and slicers align the bed and everything on it. I incorporated the knowledge and it made all the difference. A million thanks!

RE: Ft-5/Duet wifi/Cura Prints not homing properly, Help!
When sending a print, the XY motors start moving and skipping steps, then the they move to the wrong location and begin printing. Ive included a link to a youtube video that shows their behavior, https://youtu.be/uHj62Tgl_jw. Anyone have any idea of whats going on? Again the printer homes correctly but reacts like this when attempting to print.

Sorry, I meant "printrun" not pronterface.

The machine missed a whole bunch of steps at the beginning of the print, it was trying to move beyond the print area to another quadrant. It should be printing in the center. Im not sure what to make of the error code.

RE: Ft-5/Duet wifi/Cura Prints not homing properly, Help!
I used this initially and definitely got the printer up and running, everything moves as it should. The problem is printing from cura, it wants to print in the wrong location. It seems to want to print in the positive XY quadrant when it should be in the negative quadrant. It looks like cura reverses the axis and start point. I posted the cura start code. Do you think its a problem with the G90 and G91 commands?

My printer is not formatted for corexy but cartesian, via the manufacturer. Here are the homeall settings:
