Thanks for your concern and response .... Yes, I have the custom gpx.ini and have set the S3D offset commands to -x 54 -y 6 .... also, I have the M180's physical "Offset and Calibration" ( 10 ) now at X 132 Y 76.3. This seems to get me to within ±10mm of center I figure there must be a les...

Re Malyan M180 and S3D. The machines 'Default Offset And Calibration" > 'Home Offset ' dis set to X 154.6 mm and Y 76.3 mm which leads to a print start/center way off to the left. It seems to bare no relationship to S3D print process settings. I have experimented with X at 116 mm and Y at 75 mm...
