Center Bed

Post by EarthwormJack » Mon Apr 13, 2020 6:12 am

Hey Folks,

I have a problem with my heatbed. The print is not centered... I'm using ideamaker and checked severel times the printer settings. But it seems to be fine.
When I travel manually with the "Move" buttons, I have offsets X appr. 15mm and Y appr. 30mm. So I don't think it's more than false calibration of the slicer software.
I have a part at 310x310 and I'm now not able to print it...

Do anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for every help and ideas to fix it.

Hey William,

I did that already... I have 320x320. And as I told you the strange thing is, when I manually move the hotend (with the geeetech control panel) I can't use the full range of the bed 'cause the X0/Y0 is off the bed in the air. So it's seems not to be a problem with the slicer...

I tried now just to give the slicer unreal data about the heatbed. When I use for X 350mm and for Y 420mm, then the print is centered. BUT it has an effect on the size. So a square constructed as 320 x 320 mm is printed with 310 x 270 mm... What the hack.

Is there anything I can do in Smartto oder any G-Code I can use to set a new center Point?
