hmmm... just for grins, try setting the positions to 50 for both and see what happens? where does it stop?
It may be that something in the firmware is different for yours vs mine...

I think I've done enough experimenting for a while. lol. I just need to learn how to make that change permanent.

At end of print it retreated in the same direction but stopped a little beyond the middle of the print space. Apparently different parts of Repetier use reversed coordinates. What I defined as park position as 159x150 didn't matter. Gcode editor defines home as 0,0 while printing coordinates and home definition reverses it, it would seem.

I just checked your settings against mine. They seem to be the same except for some temperature settings and print space respectively. Park position is 159, 150, and 50 respectively.

Start and End code is empty in sli3er settings,  but there is Start and End Code in GCode Editor. Just:

Start Code
G21; set mm units
G90; set absolute coordinates
G92 E0; reset extruder distance
G28 X0 Y0;home x and y axis does the printer "home" correctly when starting a print?
G1 X75 Y75 F4000; move Nozzle above bed
G28 Z0; home Z axis
G92 E0; reset extrusion distance

End Code & Kill Code
G28 X159 Y150
G91
G1 Z50 F50
G90

I am thinking anything that says X0 Y0 should be removed if Park and Home positions are the same. Correct?

the only thing I can suggest is to remove the coordinates completely from the end/kill code so it reads: G28 X Y

That would seem logical since X0 Y0 would be the opposite of X159 Y150.

These are my settings in RH, under Config > Printer settings...

Printer tab:

Printer Shape tab:

My settings in Slic3er Configuration > Printer Settings tab > General:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/heartless500/slic3r%20printer%20settings.jpg

and Slic3r Configuration > Printer Settings tab > Custom G-code

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/heartless500/slic3r%20print%20settings%20gcode.jpg

I don't have a lot of custom g-code because I don't leave my printer unattended, heating is done/monitored manually.

What could they have missed?

Now the question is is this line of code the same in all your prints and if so where is it being generated?

I don't know if all my prints produce this code but I will check. How do I determine how it ends up in the gcode?


You need to look through all your slicer settings and host settings and see if there are any coordinates set anywhere that are similar or match these. It could be in your end gcode, or it may be an actual host setting that is getting exported to the slicer.

Just export the file rather than print it. Then you can open it in notepad.

Can you instruct me on how to save this file?

When you slice a file in Repetier Host it save the file as Composition.gcode in it's working directory. To find the working directory just click on file up on the tool bar and select show work directory. As said the compostion.gcode file will be the last and should be current file that you have sliced. That is your gcode file and can be opened in notepad.
