Topic: Moving start point with resliceing?

good day forum.

Is it possible to move the starting point of a print without reslicing the entire file? sometimes it takes a longgg time, and i just need to move it a small bit.
Im trying to do another large print, thats the max size of the bed on the x axis, but the centre point is out by 1-2mm, so the one edge print falls off, and i want to move it just 2mm to the other way?
easy way to do it perhaps?

regards

Re: Moving start point with resliceing?

You can do it by changing the start code area.  After the G28 (home) the printer will know it is at 159,150.  After the home add G92 Xxx Yxx to change that coordinate to a new one that will place your model where you need it.  If you need it to print 5mm more to the left, enter G92 X164 Y150.  Since it thinks it is now at X164, it will have to move 5mm further left to get to that first X position.
