Topic: printer going over the bed

hi all, im having trouble getting my prints to stay on the bed, my bed size is 200x200 and the model is a square 180x180mm for bed leveling but when it prints it prints about 25mm over the bed in the y axis

any idea's regarding this?

cheers

Re: printer going over the bed

Sounds like your print bed is not centered.  Print a 20x20cm calibration cube centered on your bed (its okay to stop it after the first couple layers) then before removing it from the bed, get your calipers and measure the actual distances to the edges of your print bed.  In repetier, go to config -> printer settings and adjust the geometry settings there using the values that you measured. Doing math is required.
