centering object

Post by geddski » Sat Jan 17, 2015 5:57 am

My assembled M2 arrived today and I followed all the instructions and am now ready to print my first print. However when I click "Preview GCode" in Simplify3d it shows the object off the bed like this:

Have I somehow moved the center point of my printer? Would love to figure this out and accomplish my first print. Thanks!!

In Preferences/Machine, what are your origin offset settings? What are your build volume settings for that matter?

hmm, must be something funny with that gcode. I imported a stl from thingiverse and it's now printing just fine! This is incredible!
