I have got the printer moving, I had added g code that you have put in the slicer settings. I am using dual extruders on my first print because i may have missed that it used the second extruder as a border extruder. But how do I level the extruders my one side is around 1mm higher than the other.

You can refer to this video to level the extruder:

Okay so it is impossible to do without disassembling the extruders and rewiring it?

I am sorry to tell you that you have to disassemble the extruder, because there is no other way to calibrate them.

This is getting ridiculous, I think my extruders are now sagging as well. The one extruder will not hold a temperature above 232 and therefore my abs is not sticking to the bed. After all this I cannot get a single print going over 50 hours of work into this printer and still nothing. Given the wrong info on my stepper drivers and broke my drivers and board. If I can't get this working tomorrow with spray adhesive I'll be asking for a refund through PayPal and you to ship it back to China and I'll buy a proper printer.

Please contact the seller to tell them your issues.
To make the filament stick to bed, you need to smear a layer of glue on bed.

Maybe the extruder holder you received is printed in PLA, so it may be bent when you are using ABS to print.
