Hi guys, I am new to printing so excuse my lack of lingo knowledge.
I have a QU-BD ThreeUp v3 that I bought a few weeks ago. I set everything up and it worked well. I use Repetier-Host and Sic3r and Marlin firmware. I started tuning the printer as best I could and I was getting OK prints. As my I tried to make taller parts the extruder started to rub on the previous layers. I found a youtube video on how I could adjust the settings with firmware for the Z-motors and I used Arduino to upload the modified firmware and things got a little funny.
After uploading the new firmware the printer would warm up and respond to manual commands, but when I try to print it just sits there not moving as the program says "printing....". I uninstalled and reinstalled Repetier-Host and got nothing. I tried MatterControl and it would move the extruder to the middle of the bed, lift up about 4 inches and just extrude out blocks of PLA without moving an inch.
I uninstalled EVERYTHING and got exactly the version of Arduino software, Repetier-Host, Marlin, and used the Slic3r profile they provided.

Still nothing. The printer can be heated and controlled, but when I click print it does nothing except keep the bed and extruder hot. When I quit the print, sometimes the printer becomes unresponsive and says something like "3 commands waiting". I disconnect and reconnect the printer and it regains manual control, but still will not print.
Any ideas or tips would be GREATLY appreciated!
