Is it just me, or are there really no E commands in that GCode at all?
What slicer are you using? If it is Slic3r, do you have a filament selected prior slicing? Main screen at the right upper corner?
Also, I am not sure a M004 GCode exists, a typo perhaps?

To me this looks like a straight slicer issue.
Try to find a working GCode from Slimplify3D and analyze the differences with yours. I am sure a lot of people use this software on this forum. Unfortunately I don't, so I cannot help you any further...
Better yet to use something like a working config for this software... I am not sure how the settings are transferred from one system to the other...

I can use slic3r so that it's more familiar with you, to help narrow things down.
What makes me think it's a problem with my duet config is I can go to thingiverse(or anywhere there's stls), download the files, load them straight to the duet g file skipping a sliver all together, hit print and it does the exact same thing.
The e commands you speak of, are those typically in the duet config, or any other location like macra section?

I checked the date and it's not the first April so I'll bite. Your printer feeds off G Code files. These consist largely of a commands starting G1 which tell the printer to move. After the G1 there are letters and numbers which tell the printer what to move. "X" followed by a number tells the printer to move a certain distance in the X axis (usually left to right). Y followed by a number tells the printer to move in the Y axis (usually front to back) and "Z" tells it to move up or down. E followed by a number would tell it to move the extruder (which is the thing that pushes filament into the hot end and makes it come out as molten plastic). Your gcode file has G1 commands followed by Xnnn Ynnn Znnn but no Ennn (I use nnn to signify a number - any number). So there is nothing in the file to tell that printer to move the extruder. stl files from Thingiverse won't work because - well they aren't gcode files. They need to be run through a slicer to generate the gcode commands that the printer understands.

I figured out what he was saying about the e commands. I'm sitting down now and about to work on it finally. I understand the G1 command also. I think what throws me off a lot is in my mind there should be a page one in the wiki saying something along the line of " setting up the duet you will need to have a config file, homeall, homey, homex, homez, macros, and so on. Under each of those have a link giving a general checklist.
