Thanks Slashee, I will try those options.
 
Just as a note, I was using the printer to control the z offset but for whatever reason it quit retaining the settings even though I tell it to store settings. It did originally and then just quit storing them. I think it was about the time I installed the printer driver and connected a computer to the printer. I am no where good enough to tinker with the firmware so i thought if I could have Cura do the necessary steps ( preheat, level, z offset ) it would just be something I don't have to remember. If I can't get it all to work I can always go back to manually doing the steps.
 
Thanks Again.

Hey MariMakes,
    Thanks for the reply. I was pretty sure it wasn't Cura. But I think Cura tried to slice the model and the model had some bad geometry and Cura did what it could with it.
It wasn't a clogged hot end as I printed something immediately after but your point in noted. I should have checked that. Had it been clogged, it could have been a real disaster on the next print job.
I had someone with a lot more knowledge than me take a look at my model and was told that there was defintely something strange with it. I redesigned the model and all is well now.
Thanks.
