Center Bed

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.

Hi, You can check the print range setting in the slicing software
Whether to set to center printing.

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?
