Topic: Slicer printing out of the bed?

Hi!

I just received the brand new SD3, the issue i have is that, when I use the Repetier package to produce the gcode and load it to print, even whne i center the piece, it tries to print it outside of the bed,

Is this an issue of the SD not knowing were the origin is? if so, how could i fix it?

Re: Slicer printing out of the bed?

Hi!

I installed that one, and before i installed the Solidoodle All in one package available at the SDd site ( i cant post links)

I was researching with my machine, and I noticed that sometimes the Y axis stops moving in one direction - it gives the echo endstop even when its not at the end.

Then I found a google groups thread talking that this might happen because of the belts not being aligned



However, this thread is about the SD2, and I am not sure if that might be the cause of the errors i'm experiencing sad

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, i was so excited about this printer and i am not  able to print with it.
