Centering 3D print on print table

Post by DavidP »

I've got the extruder working now ... the 3 axis are moving and going to the home position properly ...
When starting to print ... the extruder just goes to the edge of the table and will not begin in the center ...
I've tried to print several different files ... where the extruder will travel to the edge of the board ...
Is there a setting that I'm missing ??
I'm using RepetierHostGEEEtech_0_90D_2

You can check the user manual to reconfigure all the parameters in Repetier Host.
BTW,how did the printer perform after you clicked "print"?Did the extruder and heatbed heat up?

Yes ... it seemed to work as I imagine it should ... except it only left the 'home' position ... and began printing slightly overhanging the front edge of the table ...
I'll check over the user manual and try to reconfigure the Repetier Host as you suggest ... I've been over it a few times ... but I guess I'm missing something ...

Did you select the right Printer Shape in printer settings?And did you "center object" after loading it?
