Hi All,
I noticed I'm getting a lot of issues with bigger prints due to bed space.
To allow for more Is there a way to disable the first line the printer lays down on the right hand side of the printer (Ie before It starts the brim? Ie i think its the test line?
Thank you

To remove that you need to change your slicer instead of using XYZware.
Cura is probably your easiest slicing solution, or look into using Slic3r (find some sample slic3r configuration files here: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/14583/sl … for-xyz-jr).
You'll then need to use ThreeDubber to convert the .gcode outputs to the .3W files needed for printing (http://www.soliforum.com/post/113862/#p113862).
Sorry. I should have listed
Using slic3r with Repetier.
xyzware is horrible 
disable the skirt setting in slicer
Thanks. It's not the skirt but the line printed before it.
RAFT
BRIM
SKiRT

disable the skirt setting in slicer
This would be the correct answer. The first couple of loops in the print may sometimes be called a test loop or a purge loop but the correct term is indeed called a skirt. not to be confused with a brim or raft.

Sorry. Without a pic it's hard to explain. It's not the skirt
It's the single line of filament that is printed on the side of the platform for every print. I'd before the skirt is even started.

If you are using Repetier it should not be doing that unless you are using a gcode that was generated by XYZ software or the model you are printing has that in it, or you have added it to your start gcode line. That purge line is not normal for Repetier and default settings.
My RH Skirt setting is set for 1 loop min 5mm from part Skirt Height 1 layer min extrusion length 10 mm. Change min loop to 0 and try a print.

I pretty much copied and pasted the custom code from here:

I'm still pretty new, do you see the command in there anywhere?
The G-CODE Header :

M106 S255 ; Start fan
G90 ; set absolute coordinates

M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; Extruder (no wait)
M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; Extruder (wait)
M117 Start

This line here should be the one making the purge line.

You can test it by putting a ; in front of it which makes it comment and the firmware will ignore it.
Just standby at the power button in case it does something odd.

Thank you
I'll give that a shot next print
That did it
Thank you again
