I have tried everything, reslicing the piece with Cura in Repetier, reloading the firmware, nothing works, the print do not start in the center of the bed which is a big problem for over hanging parts. It starts stuck to the left (0) of the X axis.
Anyone has a solution?
I am turning nuts!
I’ve turned the piece around, parallele to the Y axis, it’s printing right now when it’s done, (15h) i’ll send you a pic.
I still have to find out how I can add a photo to the post!
Thankx
Don’t forget that when you ask Repetier to center the object it puts it at the center of the bed but not at the center of the printing area. You cant print on the leftmost par (to the left of the black dot) and the printing area begins 2 cm from the front side of the bed. So you have to check with the grid to center your object in the net printing area.
Initially repetier positioned the piece in the center of the bed.
The left side in the “parametre imprimante”, “Décal. Gauche” was set at -38.5 by default, exactly where the overhanging part wasn’t printed, which is my problem.
So I set it to -5 in order to pull the black dot to the left and get the print fully processed, but therefore the piece is not positioned in the center any more.
If you let me know how to send pictures I will if necessary.
Sorry for pairing the post, I’ve tried without success to erase it, as well as old one with little interest…

To post pictures you have to host them on a dedicated website or in your dropbox. and use the provided link in the IMG tag.
Here are the pictures, showing the placement to the left and the configuration.
Your pictures are not showing up.
Well, I know I am trying to fix it, I’ve added up the link from Dropbox which doesn’t seem to work, I keep on trying…
Sorry

I don’t know what’s wrong here are the links

For mechanical reasons, the right head can’t reach the left border of the bed hence the -38.5. If you lower the value the left part of your object won’t be printed.
Allright thankx,
How come the object is set to the right (It wasn’t at the beginning!)
And how is repetier treating the overhanging parts, in other words is it treating the bounding box of the object or just the normal positioning line
Cheers!
Just change the dl value at the end of the link…
