Slic3r + Repetier Hitting Bed Clips, Mid-air Printing
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 9:18 am
Hi everybody.
Here's an issue that's been frustrating me for the past 5 hours. I just got the M2 this afternoon, and I've been trying to set up Slic3r and Repetier.
I noticed (after hours of staring at the thing) that everything that I slice with Slic3r starts with the print head at 0,0. That makes the nozzle hit the bed retaining clip, which screws up the z-axis and causes the printer to start printing in mid-air.
I fixed it by taking off the bed clip, but I've been trying to change the slicing so that it doesn't ALWAYS start the print by moving the head to 0,0. For the life of me I can't figure it out, and nobody else on the internet seems to be having this problem, as far as I have seen. What am I missing?
I apologize if this is an obvious answer, but I've been trying for hours to fix this.
Thanks!
