Topic: RH issue

From day one when I first  got my SD3 , when I load an object on the platform in RH I have to move it to lower left corner to get it to print on the platform. I have tried several versions of RH , all do the same.If I don't move it to lower left, any large object just prints  party off the bed in upper right.There has to be a reason why it's doing that, just haven't found a solution yet. RH config is setup  ect.  There was a post on Google groups about this  a while ago ,but no one really had an answer.Anybody want to take a stab at it?

Re: RH issue

Check your bed size in Slic3r, should be 200 x 200 x 200.  Bed center 100 x 100.   Check printer settings in Repetier, under printer settings, printer shape.  Make sure all is the same as Slic3r.   200x200x200.  Uncheck printer has dump area.

Re: RH issue

Are you centering and droping object in Repetier before slicing?

Re: RH issue

When you hit the home buttons and it has moved to the endstops, what does it say the coordinates are above each axis?  It should be something like 209 for X and 200 for Y.
