Yes, Solidoodle2_6142013.cpp.hex is the hex file that Support sent me. I pulled it from the email and place it in the BootloaderHID folder. Is it the wrong one possibly?

It probably is the right file.  I just went through this recently on someones Printerboard.  First time through I came up with the same problem.  The cause was basically a TYPO.  I wasn't using the file from SD and I just hadn't paid attention to the file name.   Could you send me the file they sent you?  I'd like to see if I can load it up.

There are some instructions on the WIKI here and there is a few instructions set here but do not have links handy at this point.

Also on a side note, I am getting the Z-Axis banding issue, what is the best fix for this? I have been looking around and there are so many fixes and I'm not sure which one is best.

When you HOME does it go to the back right corner?

In Repetier-host --> Config ---> Firmware EEPRom configuration, does it have a homing offset?

If not, it does sound like it's worth checking the firmware at this point.  I don't have a printrboard, so I can't help with that, but there are other threads on this forum about that.

It goes to were it starts to print, so obviously it doesn't know where center is

But when I do the last command (to center it) nothing happens

This is such a bummer because I haven't even been able to print anything yet, just problems right out of the box!

could this be my issue?
I'm not sure really how to get m machine to "report" back to me.

Well, like you said, the firmware should be fine from the factory (and they printed the spool attachment at the center of the bed).

Just to confirm, you set these values proper in repetier:

This is an excerpt of the gcode I have in my custom gcode field in slic3r, but you can also enter these in the manual control via Gcode -> Send (one at a time):

G21
G28
G90
G1 F3000

And this is what they mean:
G21 ;set mm units
G28 ;home all axis
G90 ;set absolute coordinates
G1 F3000 ;center print head

When you do this, does it center correctly?

If so, double-check your slic3r settings (ignore the actual values in the screenshot, it's taken from the web):

If those are correct then you should add the gcode above to your custom gcode section in slic3r.
