Did you adjusted the trim pods on the drivers?
Did you checked that no switches shows triggered?
Which feed rates are set in marlin?
What size threaded rod are you using?
Are all the steppers wired the same way? Color by color the x and z steppers looks the same as your y one?
Can you post some pictures of your printer? Take pictures of your board too.
Do an air print, and while printing adjust the drivers pods go all the way CW untill your steppers whine and back it up slowly untill works smooth (use only a plastic screw driver)

yeah I did use heat shrink tubing, thats actually exactly what I was afraid of. & ok im sending pics to your email.Quote

The fact that you solder the cables to the board makes me wonder if something get overheated or any link broken, I'm not saying that you don't know how to solder, it's just that can happen to anyone. Having the pins so close to each other they might be touching or creating interference, did you used heat shrink tubing?
Please email me to ggherbaz@yahoo.com your photos and please take good detailed ones of the parts you had to fix and board.
Your configuration h. Looks right so I'm guessing more of hardware issue than any othe thing.

What do you mean by Stepper models?, and alright ill send pics of the wiring order to your email. And is it possible you can give me a link for a air print if possible? and also im sending pics of what i got through pronterface when i did the m119 test. And about the plastic parts i asked for them many times and they have yet to reply to im thinking about just buying some off ebay or somthing.. I really just want this printer to print!!Quote

Yes I did, and I think its best for you to re order some of the damaged parts (they are of really poor quality) and will affect your printing capabilities, and get some connectors from eBay or Aliexpress and re wire your printer. It looks like you did a good solder job and covered most of the soldered connections with heat shrink tubing (assume you are changing stuff around for testing), but it will be too hard from just few photos to find out if any of the wiring get switched around or if you got any cold solder or a broken link.
After seeing the photos I can understand your frustration, it looks like the printer is falling apart before you can get it printing.
OK, before I tell you to send me the printer, I want you to do few things:
1 steppers models
2 wiring order from motor to board.
3 start an "air print" and while printing I want you to turn your drivers pods clockwise all the way until the steppers whine, then back it up 1/4 turn do this for x and z.
4 move your axis out of homing position and in pronterface do M119 and be sure no switches shown triggered.
Let me know
