proper Solidoodle 4 settings for Repetier Host? (Page 1 of 2)

Is the X carriage crashing into the left Y carriage? Or does the Y just crash it into the front tensioner?

I don't own an SD4, but I had this problem on my 2. I fixed it by taking off a couple millimeters off the X and Y. Since You have a possible 8x8x8" platform, the print areas for depth, width, and height should all be the same. So if the X (width) is fine, you should adjust Y (depth)

I think you should dial the Y (depth) dimension back just a little then.
Either save your image in a good spot or write down the original numbers so you have zero down time should you want to change back.

As far as travel goes, you only need to change it in RH printer settings.

Thanks n2ri, but where have you gotten that info?
And I don't have any printer preset options except:

default
Solidoodle 2
Solidoodle 3 Base/Pro
Solidoodle 3 Expert
Solidoodle 4.

I got the Repetier Host from the Solidoodle website.
Version is 0.85b. Downloaded just a week ago.

thats how all SD2 and SD3 are and pretty sure SD4 is same as SD3 on bed dimensions. also the hitting left front is due to the fan on left side of extruder on SD4 and Solidoodle knows this issue but only changed fan position on new models of SD4. more proof they dont test for proper design etc nor care once sold. which must change if they want to remain in 3D printing manufacture world.

as for where this info came from. same as 95% of Solidoodle tech info. forums like this since SD site just tells you to measure your printer and put in info on those pages and one of the default settings in there shows the 9mm dump area in RH

Uuh, the new Solidoodle 4 has the extruder fan on the left. Mine was purchased a month ago, and the fan is on the left.

Also I have this issue and never bothered to fix it. Let me know if you find the correct values.

And wtf. Your installation of Repetier also shows language values instead of actual text on some parts. Ever seen the message "L_HEATERS_ON_QUEST?". That should say "Cartesian Robot", not "L_CARTESIAN_PRINTER". Never fixed this either. Been using s3d for a while now.

n2ri I know you're trying to help but with all due respect you post a lot of misinformation...

I'm not bashing you, that's not what bashing is.

This is a forum where giving incorrect info can cause damage to the hardware of the person asking for help. So I wouldn't (and didn't in this thread) post something I didn't know beyond reasonable doubt.

at least I try to help others in need from what I have learned the last couple years with near zero help. and if you do nothing to help but only criticize those that do that is more harmful to this community. I know the info I gave on this topic is correct even though I dont own an SD4 the RH ver software settings in pics is same software as what I have. now let some body offer help to others since thats not what your trying to do. in fact looking at your few posts all I see you doing is criticizing everyone else. thats anti-helpful/productive to this type forum.

From this sentence you quoted it sounds like they moved the cooling fan to the front of the extruder on their new models (Press, Workbench, Workbench Apprentice), so it won't cut the x axis like it did for SD4.

did you also change the dimensions like I posted? then save restart RH. if you are trying to use Gcode sliced with old settings that may need deleted and new Gcode sliced with correct settings also, same goes for any time bad settings where used for slicing. I only save G-code after I know it prints good

Bed dimensions in RH don't help with centering by the way. You have to set that in slic3r. I totally forgot about this until just now! Make sure RH and slic3r have the same x,y dimensions.
