New printer 1000x1000x1000mm size

1216/5000
Hello everyone and Merry Christmas:
I have built a printer copy of the Anet A6 using all its components but 1000x1000x1000 mm in size in order to be able to print large objects at once. The machine works perfectly using the dimensions of the A6 (220x220x240 mm) but when I set it with the dimensions of 500x500x500mm with an object to print 400x400x400mm homing perfectly to the bottom left corner of the bed, but when it starts printing it goes to the lower left quadrant of the bed and it made the impression of the object but with dimensions 170x170x170mm (instead of 400x400x400 programmed) in that quadrant. I have configured the parameters of the new machine with Cura (15.04.6) in the following way: Machine, machine setting, Maximun width 500mm, maximun deph 500mm and maximun heigth 500mm and Build shape square. I've been thinking about it for several days but since I'm not an expert in software, I can not configure it correctly. I am using an SD to print. I think it could be the firmware (I have Repetier V0.92.9 installed), but I can not access the corresponding code or how to change it. Please, could a partner help me set it up ?? Thank you very much in advance.

Did you try the firmware configuration tool?

In Repetier firmware the build size is defined

eg
#define X_MAX_LENGTH 200
#define Y_MAX_LENGTH 200
#define Z_MAX_LENGTH 120

So the size is set in firmware

but It also looks like you can change it in eeprom in repetier host.

Dont think you can set this in cura

So, ether update your firmware or try setting it in repetier host.

Once changed you should be able to use cura as expected.

thanks for your answer. I have not tried the Repetier tool, but I will do it following your suggestion.

Kind regards

I have tried your suggestion with repetier-firmware configuration tool (v. 0.92.9) and it gives me compilation error. Anyway, I accidentally knew that the Anet A6 board that I have installed contains the Marlin 1.0 firmware. (It is not Repetier as the seller told me). Then I downloaded the Marlin 1.1 and proceeded to load it in the IDE and admitted it. I was able to change the Max displacement parameters of the extruder to X500, Y500, Z500. I click to verify compilation and it has compiled it perfectly. Then I click upload and has begun uploading with the bar in progress, but after a while an error message appears and stops. I attached a screenshot at that time in case I could help you understand the problem. I apologize a lot for the inconvenience but I am desperate with the configuration of my printer. Thank you very much.

Try a newer version of arduino ide. Try to start the board anyway, maybe the verification fails but was uploaded correctly. Also make sure you've got the correct chip selected. Some boards have a 128KB flash memory microcontroller on them (as opposed to 256K, which limits the options you can select at compile time.

The error messages displayed are due to a serial com timeout ! They are explicit.
So, wrong serial set up somewhere. Of course, no firmware uploaded.

An Anet A6 on steroid (1X1X1 m ! ) curious to see it running.
