Well, it looks like it probably wasn't bad stepper drivers but may actually be the motors that just plain don't work. I've tried everything and nothing can get the damn things to turn. I've tried contacting the person who I bought the motors from and am still waiting for their reply. On another note, the hot end that I bought pre-assembled just fell apart on me. It looks like I'll have to disassemble that to replace the thermistor and double check the wiring. I had been wondering why the hot end simply would not heat up and upon emailing the seller, recieved a rather rude response of: trace the wires. Well I guess I never would have thought of that! Because that wasn't the first thing I did when hooking it up to the PCB to begin with.
My frustration with the motor wiring has begun to affect my boyfriend and set him in a horrible mood on more than one occassion. I have the feeling that perhaps I should have just contacted someone with a working printer to print out the parts for me as this is proving to be a ridiculous hassle.
