When everything is powered on i can feel some pull on the ball screws but i can still turn them by hand. It just feels different when powered on.

The drivers are DM542A with a max peak of 4.2A. According to some papers I found online with 1,2,3 off= 4.2A. So I just switched to mach. Can still turn by hand. My enable is not wired at all (just like in the video I shared.) My PUL+(+5v) and DIR+(+5v) are wired to the +5 volt side of my terminal block(as in the video)

according to this Manual:

http://fablab.web-5.org/lib/exe/fetch.php/documentation:drivers_mpp:dm542a-manuel-20130925.pdf

i do not think you can leave enbl+ unconnected.

make a quick Connection to 5V just to be sure.
