Buildvolume only 180 x 180 mm?

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Issues while printing
1

Hi there,

i did a test with a rectangular shape 180 x 200 with one Nozzle.
The printed size was 180 x 180 mm?
When using scale to maximum button in repetierhost the size is 18xmm x 20xmm.
Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

If I have understood you correctly then I think you are forgetting that the two nozzles are on the same y axis but separated on the x axis, i.e., they are apart by I think 27.3mm. So nozzle one can go to the extreme right, looking from the front but can’t go to the extreme left. In the same way nozzle 2 can go the extreme left but not to the extreme right. Therefore while the y travel is not effected by which nozzle you use the x axis is and it is reduced by the corresponding separation of the nozzles.

Hello

i had the same problem, i wanted to print a main board cover/cooling duct but it was to large.
after searching i changed some settings in the firmware and now i can print 215 mm long.
You can make it even longer, but watch out for your pulleys and printhead, test it first in repetier manual mode.
