M3D Micro - Print Out of Bounds

[SilentKnight111]

Hello all,

I recently purchased an M3D micro as my first 3D printer. While the default program for the Micro isn't horrible, I wanted to get in to more fine tuning of the prints, and Simplify3D is supposed to make some of the best slices. So I picked it up...

Now, I know the simplify 3D can't control the printer directly, so I've been saving the gcode and importing it as I read to do online. Everything is fine up until this point. The spooler sends the print job to M3D, but the software then says that the print job is out of bounds of the print area.

This doesn't make sense to me. I've got the profile set to M3D Micro, the print area is within the bounds that's supposed to work on the micro, and the model I'm printing is just over an inch in size.

Had anyone had this problem, and does anyone know a fix?

Hmm.. well assuming your model is centered, I would guess it would have to be something in your starting script. Take a look at the beginning of a gcode file that works and compare it to the S3D starting script. Perhaps there is some G1 XYZ movement that the firmware is worried about.

I have the same problem with a model I have already printed out using the M3d Software with no issues, but generating the Gcode in simplify and using the M3d Spooler to add the Gcode I get an out of bounds error. If I take the generated gcode from simplify and open it in Cura it fits within the machine bounding box of 109x113x116 with some space in all directions so sorry I cant through any more light on to the issue. The Start Code here of the gcode not work.

Might help if you post the working starting script as well. Then it's just up to comparing them to see what's different.

Hey Everyone, having the same issue here. Will compare the Gcodes later. Just letting you know that there are more people with this issue. Cheers!

I was having the same problem and it turned out it was a line near the end of the gcode that was causing the error. Commenting out the line fixed the error. The following is the line I commented out:
;G1 X1 F2160 ; move X axis to zero

Help!

I can't get rid of the "Out of bounds" problem.

I removed first entry of the End Script, but problem remains.

Even small print will give me same result. I used to be able to print before??

The software notified me about an updated profile for the M3D a few months ago, so I have just been using the latest profile from S3D and it's working fine. You might want to try going back to Help > Configuration Assistant, and re-downloading it.

Also, check to make sure that your model is not too big for the bed. Try printing a smaller model to see if you still get the error.

That worked for me, thanks Brian
