Prontaface.... Getting in the middle of the build area
March 21, 2013 06:29AM
Can you guys help me. When I download a file into Prontaface it's not ending up in the middle of the yellow squares that represent the build area of the bed
The object appears in the top rh side with a line onto the middle of the yellow build area. How do I move it to the middle?
Regards
Steve

Pronterface is only reflecting what your G code is generating. The fault is with your G code. What ever you use to generate your G code, such as SFACT etc. Should have a setting in it to offset the part in the build area. Adjust this to half the build area dimensions and you should be somewhere close.

If it's skeinforge you're using, it's in the multiply plugin - specify the center of your build platform - usually 100, 100
