Build Area Settings

[Andy Cohen]

Trying to make an S3D profile and as usual I simply cannot set the dead center of the bed. Build area is 305x305x305 but I see nothing that could hint in the IM settings as to what the Offsets should be. Don't see it in the start gcode either. This s one setting that has always been tricky to me for all the profiles I've made.

You may have realized this already but if not it might help, the center of the build area in not actually the center of the BuildTak the 305X305 is aligned to be flush with the left and front edges of the bed. I did not look at it too closely but last I saw it looked like it was about center with default settings.

You might want to check the old N2 thread in 3D printer tricks. Jetguy made a S3D profile and it's working well (startcode and endcode were taken from IM). You can't do dual extrusion wizard though cos it crashes.

When I print a 2 layer box sized 305 x 305 I find that it takes the extruder all the way right to it's limit. I also see that if I push the plate all the way into the clips the plate is a good ~5mm North in Y . Putting the plate into the clips just until the plate is past the forward edge of the build area and it's much much closer to center. Next I forgot the Nozzle offset for dual extruders. In S3D T0 is the right extruder... the N2 sees T0 as the left. So I try setting the offset in the advanced tab... nothing... Next I try to add to the start gcode:

M218 T0 X25 Y0; Set offset to 25mm

M218 T1 X0 Y0;Leave the offset at 0

Still Nothing. Anybody???
