Topic: Help! My solidoodle 3 thinks its a soliddodle 2.

Posting again hoping someone has a clue what's going on with my printer.

Problem:  Every print I start, is off from center by 40mm to the right, and nearly as much to the
               Back. No matter what I do in RH and Slic3r the center is off on every print.

I posted last week under "bed size calibration problem". Not much luck with any help.  I'm still optimistic someone knows how to fix this.

Thanks again everyone!

Re: Help! My solidoodle 3 thinks its a soliddodle 2.

when installing software make sure to select which printer 2 or 3 is being used. then go into printer settings and make sure bed dimensions etc are correct for your printer as this is what tells it who it is so to speak. default often is set at SD1 size which is smaller yet I found when updating software.

Solidoodle 2 with Deluxe kit cover & glass bed with heater. and 2nd board SD2 used not 3rd and alum platform not installed yet still wood. also need cooling fan installed to board. use Repetier Host couple vers. Slic3r also have all free ware STL programs
