running latest version of RR3 and Pruser Slicer 2.6

notice that when I place stl model near right hand side edge the printer tries to print outside the bed area. 

My origin coordinates in Prusa Slicer for my Bed is 0,0 -- size 300x, 200y

Printer can correctly pick and drop tools ok , so my origin is likely issue.

Checking if any one has correct origin for toolchanger before I try getting correct value by trial and error.

thx

I don't use Cura for my TC, but in S3D my setup for origins is as follows:

Thx for update,  I looked at my config.g file and it has some gcode commands M92 I think that define the coordinates of the bed, it uses some offsets.  I dont have my printer config nearby but I am planning to grab those values and use them for my origin -- I will post correct setting when I have it working.  

I am thinking this issue probably started happening when I upgraded my firmware to 3+ which I think e3d doesnt support ..

I believe E3D does support the latest RRF versions. They posted a sample config.sys file for it.

correct, I made a mistake about that.

I tried to update my Bed settings -- origin value in PrusaSlicer 2.6 -- but it looks like it is not working, possibly a bug in PrusaSlicer.    Any change in Origin value for Bed settings is not updating the gcode commands.

I will try with a different slicer to check if this may be a PrusaSlicer bug.  

my config.g has M208 commands that define the limits of X,Y and Z.   I wont touch those of course.
