Printing in a specific location on my print bed..

After homing my axis on my coreXY my X0, Y0 are located in the front left of my machine

0,0_ _ _ _ _


If I want to start my print in the middle of the bed how do I accomplish that?

| 150,150

EDIT

noticing in Slic3r that a can move the axis.. do I need to use coordinates specifc to the pinter? x150, Y-150

I have currently got x150, y150...



EDIT

Looking at the gCode generated and I would anticipate the Xand Y axis to be in the 150 ranges..??

Your origin in Slic3r should be 0,0 not 150,150
Slic3r will then print part where ever you place it , defaults to the center.

Slic3r defaults to putting the print at the center of the bed. If you set the origin to 0,0 it will put the origin at the lower left corner in the diagram, which corresponds to the left front corner of the machine. You don't have to force the origin to the center. Slicer can figure out where the center is when you put the origin at the actual origin.
