Thank you, that was enough to get me started, think I might be able to get my project to print now. Next is centering the printer, but to do that I need to update the firmware, but to do that I need figure out what kind of board I have, but to do that I'd either need to take it off of get through enough pages of google to find some poor sod who has trudged the same cheapo path I have. Thanks again!

You may have to fudge the bed dimensions in your host and slicer to get the model to the center. Both the slicer and host should be set the same.

Looks like a simple matter of centering the print on the bed.

Very new to 3d printing, so if you talk to me like you're explaining to a kid I won't be too offended. Short version, tried to print and when traveling along the x axis the extruder tried to go all the way to the right and attempted to go right off the bed (making an awful noise). Shut it off and tried again, same. When uploading to prusa control, it looks seated well within the parameters, but uploaded it to repetier and looked at the preview, attached, and it shows pretty much where it tries to ride off the bed.

Created the sketch using tinkercad (cute I know, but nice for beginners).

Created the gcode using Prusa Control and Slic3r.

Printer is the CTC A8 Prusa clone. Have printed other things including benchy with little to no issues.
