Thanks guys. I looked over the wiring and redid the zip ties and also re leveled the print bed with instructions from this forum and my printer is printing great. Thanks for you help.

Redo the zip ties the hold the wires that go to the extruder if there are any. It's likely the wires are being pinched somewhere

Sounds like you may have a wiring issue to the extruder or your bed is not level and when it prints on the back side of the bed it is too close to the build plate.

I am trying to find if someone has posted in the past about this, but have not come across it yet. If this question has been answered, can I get directed to where I can read it.

On my Da Vinci 1.0 I am only able to print on the front quarter of the bed. Once the head moves past that point, it no longer extrudes any filament. If what I am printing is small enough to stay in that front zone it works fine. But if it is larger than that it stops putting the filament down, but the head keeps moving as if nothing is wrong. I have re-calibrated the bed and that did not work. Any suggestions? I am 100% new to 3d printing and printers so I don't know where to start on getting this fixed.

Thanks everyone.
