I have set my the values in RH and Slic3r just like yours. Still dong the same thing. Oh all models are doing that. BTW,I tried two versions of RH .82b and .85b , both do the same thing.Maybe a SD firmware issue? AS you can see even tho its shows centered on RH platform and after slicing , it still prints in the upper right .

In Sclic3r
x=209, y=200, print center 100 x 100. z-offset =0

In Repetier: Width=209, Depth=200, Height =200
Home X MAX
Home Y MAX
Home Z MIN

If checked, uncheck Has dump area.

Mine works with these settings.

Just a thought: does this happen only on one model or all models? I once had a 123d catch object, after slicing, it appeared in the wrong place. I scratched my head over that, until I loaded the model into Netfab, and looked carefully at areas surrounding the model, and found a tiny speck out side the model's main area. I managed to cut it out, and the model then was placed correctly. The center of the object will change if artifacts are left outside the model. In my case, the speck was way out in the upper right hand corner, missed cleaning the model in catch 123d. When you load a model in Repetier, if it doesn't center after centering and placing, you may have an artifact...

Could someone that has a SD3 and using RH please post their printer shape values? To date I have been unable to use most of the build platform due to the fact when I load an object in RH it loads in the center and then I have to move it to the lower left corner or it will print off the right edge. I need to print at least a 7" x.5" disk.Due to above issue , all I can print atm is a 5.5" one.thanks.
