Please help a noob with his Da Vinci 1.0a 3D Printer

I was recently gifted a Da Vinci 1.0a 3D printer. I found out the company is no long in business and came across the instructions to flash it to repeatier firmware.

After a few attempts I finally got it to flash and connect up to my repeatier server and host software.

I configured my slicer based on this video

I'm using the abs 1.75mm white filiment that came with the printer from xyzprinting

I'm at 230c for filiment and 90c for bed

I can manually load and unload filiment.

If I run the gcode to advance filiment 10mm at f100 it comes out no problem.

I've cleaned the head.

I've leveled the bed

Before I flashed it I successfully printed the 3 demo pieces that were on the SD card that comes in the system.

But now for the life of me, I cannot get the damn thing to print nothing.

It goes about like it's printing it, sometimes a little bit of something that I think is filiment is present on the bed but for the most part it does nothing but dance around.

It runs through the slicer, I get what looks like good gcode. It's got all the movements and stuff. I can share the gcode if someone wants to see it.

I've tried looking to see if I can find a setting for dry run but I didn't see that anywhere.

I am seeking the help of anyone who has experience with these printers and can help me get the thing printing. I've been going at this for like 3 days now lol
