printrbot issues

so i just got simply 3d for my printerbot simple metal. paid the 149 dollars and the first Marvin test print turned out great. everything else has gone to hell. when i try to print it makes out the x,y, and z axis on the sides with out safety switches. i am worried that its going to strip the z axis screw when it tries to force the z axis further down when its hit the bed. i ran the bed leveling wizard so i don't know why this is happening. its wont print in the center of the bed and puts the right end of the print on the left edge of the printer which i am worried will destroy the belt. i don't know what caused to act like this . i configured it to printrbots system like it said to in the sites training video. i am have this issue with cura as well. this is a nightmare if anyone can help that would be great.

i would like to note the issue with the x and y axis is about half way fixed thanks to someone one 3d hubs giving me a custom fff.

i ran a z probe test and this is what came up.

Disconnected.

i think that there's nothing wrong with the probe, but its something to do with the firmware if anyone has any tips on how to fix it that would be fantastic.

Re: printrbot issues

Sounds like you may have an electronics or firmware issue if it's happening with multiple programs. Try printing the same Marvin you did before. If that same file runs differently, then you definitely have a problem with the machine.
