Adjust center

[camstuff]

I have a rep2 and have a big build to do but I have just realized that it's not printing in the center of the build pad. Is there a way I can adjust this so S3D will know where center is exactly?

Thanks for any advice.

I believe the button just under import and remove centres it on the build platform.

I guess I should add to the question. The off sets in the software when zeroed does not but the print head in the center of the build plate. I checked a small circle and centred it in the software screen but did not print centered. It's not off by much but this build needs the full build plate and with it not being centered it's messing the print up

Thanks for the reply

Measure the offset from the origin in the X and Y direction then open up the FFF settings, go to the scripts tab, uncheck the option "Create .x3g file for MakerBot printers" and in the "Additional terminal commands for post processing" put this in:

Windows:

Code: Select all

"[install_dir]\gpx" -p -m r2 -x x_value -y y_value "[output_filepath]"

Mac/Linux:

Code: Select all

"[install_dir]/gpx" -p -m r2 -x x_value -y y_value "[output_filepath]"

replacing the x_value and y_value with their respective offset values, for example:
"[install_dir]/gpx" -p -m r2 -x 10 -y 25 "[output_filepath]"

all one line, and yes, include the quotes.

Or you could just add a gcode X/Y-Axis offset (see G-Code tab)
