Measurement with trial and error.  It looks like the Y is off about 10mm.  Put a bed front offset of -10.  If that makes it worse, try +10.  You could print a cube of known size, stop it after the first layer and then measure the distance to the front of the bed with your calipers before removing the print.  Then do the math to get more precise.

Bingo - Learned something new today.  -7 was the fit.  Think the offset comes from a modified extruder moving the nozzle.

Again - Thanx!
