Topic: Problem just getting worse

I have had a problem for a while that just seems to get worse each day.  I am at the point where my printer is nothing more than a paperweight/anchor. 

I started experiencing problems with it not going to "home" when it finished a print.  I updated RH to 1.0.6 as had been suggested in other similar posts.  Now my printer has a mind of its own.  When I start a print it tries to start it in the front left corner OFF the bed.  Grinding at the corner.  When I "kill" the print it goes to the location marked "A".    If I send the instruction to go "home" it goes to back left corner as indicated.  When I restart the print it will again start at the front corner.
I have tried to disable the motors and manually put the extruder at the home position and restarting the print.  At this point it will still try to print at the corner.  At no time does it even try to print in the center.

Any and all help or suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

Re: Problem just getting worse

I guess you tried my start gcode ? Can you post  a screen shot  of the "Printer shape" in printer settings? oh I noticed that you have Printer has SD card checked , is that correct?

Re: Problem just getting worse

Yes I have tried your start G-code.  No luck.
I attached the screenshot requested.
Yes the box for sd card is checked.  But, considering the problems I have had I do not foresee using it.




UPDATE:   After trying many different things I took RH back to stock with this machine and then reinstalled the firmware making it able to use the E3d hotend.  At this time it seems to be straightened out and working.  I have not had the chance to print yet though.
