Print start point

Hi All,
Still in the process of getting my printer up and running.
The problem I am having is where on the bed it starts, at the moment it to the left of center, this is alright for small prints but for larger ones they over hang the bed.
This is probably fixable in Marlin, but can any one please tell me how.

Re: Print start point

It's possible that your firmware homing offsets are wrong (in Marlin I think they are called your X/Y/Z_MIN_POS and X/Y/Z_MAX_POS in the Configuration.h file)

Re: Print start point

Thanks
I have found a solution to the problem.
It was in Marlin Auto leveling.


#endif // AUTO_BED_LEVELING_GRID

// Offsets to the Z probe relative to the nozzle tip.
// X and Y offsets must be integers.
#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 30// Z probe to nozzle X offset: -left +right
#define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0// Z probe to nozzle Y offset: -front +behind
It may help someone in the future
