Weird, changing the Slic3r bed size to match the values in the printer settings didnt help at all...

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.

both have to be checked if correct. sometimes RH printer settings is what Slic3r reads as options in its printer settings tab but yes check both.

Sorry, what dimensions did you post?
It's not a few mm difference, the center is few cms off. I'll make a photo.

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

I tried changing to Dump, but I dont notice any difference. Still hitting the tensioner and still not printing in the middle of print bed as the model is in RH.

SD4 also has one on the side. The rear fan is for cooling the motor, the front fans are for keeping the filament cool while it passes through the drive gear. We moved them to the front so they don't cut into X-axis travel.

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.

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.

Really? the only thing you did post here you knew nothing about the info I gave, be it wrong or right. so if you cant SHOW the so called correct response to a Topic. hold your posts. the term for such behavior is 'heckling'

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.

1) holding down the glass beds on the WB with bulldog clips - really? shaving 1" off each side of the build area is a shoddy misselling

We will be shipping with smaller clips, not the large binder clips seen in the pictures.

Edit: Actually wait, There are 4 fans on there. Two in the rear and two in the front. The SD4 only has one in the rear. Wonder if all four are 'necessary' and if a creating shroud to angle the two in the front down would be easier.

there done your search work for you. happy now?

that version of RH has the settings I posted. as its the same version since b4 SD4 was made/sold. search for SD4 fan topics to see where it was relocated to on latest SD4.

dont know anything about that message

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.
