Haven't printed yet but it shows in preview as roughly in the middle of the plate smile

I had mine in as 159x150x150-75-75+0 so I guess it was just a syntax error on my part... changed it to your syntax and it's all good.

Always the smallest things that are easiest to overlook. Thank you!! ^_____^

I've been trying to print out the tensioner arm for the mk2 extruder: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34936
but it keeps screwing up. Have you printed this?

When you slice things (using these settings) do they still show at the bottom left corner of the preview screen in Pronterface, but then print from near the centre?

5hrs+ with the printer on today and nothing accomplished sad

I only used skeinforge and pronterface a couple times but I think you are looking in the right direction.  I think it should be something along the lines of -75,-75,0. Ill try firing up pronterface in a bit and get back to you what my settings are

I'm probably way off but fihured I'd ask tongue

Any particular thing I should be doing? Is centring on the plate in Rep-G not the same as changing the centre of the STL itself?

But I suppose I could use Slic3r with Pronterface.

PS. I also tried to plate things in Slic3r in an effort to center them... looked fine and centred on the plate... exported to .STL and still tried to print off bed in Pronterface/Skeinforge.

Just having something that will let me print on the bed and without crashing the extruder into the corner of the printer is worth the wait though haha.

Note that (at least for my set up) that there are 4x4 boxes, each representing 50mm which makes the visible area too large. The leftmost square on the bottom should line up with the corner of your build platform.

I open the stl file then use the move options to center. Then I save the file and replace the existing stl.
