creating custom printer profile for sky maker x3 Platinum

hello,

i've been using S3D for some time now on my leapfrog creatr dual. i really love the way the software works! however i'm not so familliar with making a custom printer profile for my new printer(SKY-MAKER X3 3D Printer Platinum with heated build plate from: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ma ... nav_search) wich does not have a pre configured profile yet so at first i contacted the S3D support who were kind enough to send me this file to set up the printer but i don't think its all i need to setup. untill now I've been trying to use the makerbot replicator 1 dual profile wich looked quite simular to me. it does make a resonably usable file but when i run it it doesnt match my exact printer and for some reason the heated printbed goes off after i preheated it manually with the replicator v7.5(build from sd). in addition when i print with single extruder it always takes the right extruder no matter if i take the left or right profile maibe some settings? also i was wondering my extruder xy zero from the end switch does not exactly happen to be on the corner of my print surface just a little out of there so maibe i could adjust the exact point where i can start printing, and with that the distance between the extruders aswell. my heated printbed is x:25cm y:20cm and z:15cm. also when i print in this profile the dimensions of the print are a lot bigger than they originally are maibe i need to select a different driving belt or some? after all i would really appriciate some help here! :D the website from the manufacterer of this printer is: http://www.sky-tech.com.tw/ i've added the file i got from support and the fff file wich i currently use. in order to create this profile it could perhaps help to view the file on their program named skyware(version of replicatorG i think) but i'm not sure if i can get that file out. the comany where i got this printer off told me i needed their software but since im having reasonable results just now i think it must be possible to do it this way!

many thanks already,

Sten
