Iam brand new to 3d printing.I just got my geeetech a10 when I printed my first print from the sd card it went flawless now when I slice something from cura and try to print it it always goes to the left hand corner and tries to print there.How do I get it to go back to the center again and print there.

is "Origin at center" ticked in the printer settings? If it is, untick it.

Thank you and that did the trick.One more question I tried to print an animal it started fine when it got to the legs it started sliding all over the place do I need to use some sort of adhesive to make it stay in place to print.

there are a lot of things which could be wrong;
does the bed wobble when you try to move it from left to right?
does the bed move freely from front to back?
is the Z end stop set correctly?
some of these might help;

I guess my best move is to try and check everything.But would it help sometimes if I used the glue stick.
