Build plate size for D4S

[PinballGeorgio]

The Build plate size in the Wanhao D4S profile is too small. Had some prints from Thingiverse made for a D4S but were a bit too big for the Build Plate. So I measured the plate and filled in the following values under Tools > Options > Machine.

Must be X-axis: 220mm
y-axis: 140mm
z-axis: 150mm

After this I can print all the files.

The current volume is 220x140x150 . I believe you mean that the X-axis should be 225?

Their website lists the build dimensions as: 225mm x 145mm x 150mm. But who really needs that 5 x 5 square at the other side of the build plate?

I'd use those values for it!

Sorry, the settings are back to standard again as I checked.

The real size is 228 x 145 mm. Normally I don't need that few mm's, but came across some prints that needed this actual settings.

This is a good find!

I now have the problem that this setting cannot be saved. Everytime I start S3D and build something big I have to adjust this setting again.
Is there a way to keep this setting?

Use the export button to export a new .fff file, then import that newly created file.

That doesn't work. Even if I change the infill settings as example, the build plate dimensions are back to standard.
Have to correct this with every setting I make.

Under the G-Code tab, there's the option for Override Machine Definition with settings below,

if that box is checked, it will change your build size dimensions.

Thanx! You're great, that did the trick!
