Topic: Solidoodle 4 not printing on center

Hello Everyone. I'm having some issues centering my printout on the printer bed. I have tried adjusting the XY values on the printer settings but still no go. I'm using Repetier V1.0.6 and Cura for slicing. I have tried toi search the forum but did not find a definite answer or solution to my issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you need to adjust the bed front and bed left (right) values.  It is in the same window as the printer bed dimensions.  Print a 20 mm calibration cube (you can stop it after the first layer) that is centered in the bed.    Before removing it from the bed, measure the distances to the bed sides, do the math, and adjust accordingly.

I'd just like to tell you my Solidoodle 4 had this issue as well, you're not the only one. Maybe something is wrong in the SD4 preset of Repetier Host.

Thank you for your response. Can you please tell me how I can adjust the bed? I have switched back to Slic3r. So far it is printing ok but it is still off from the center. I'm quite new to the 3d printing world and still learning. smile

haven't tried adjusting it myself, too many other issues to fix first.
