Moving print to center of bed

Moving print to center of bed
October 18, 2011 05:49PM
I've been printing several calibration objects on my Prusa, and I'd like to know what is the typical method for getting the print centered on the bed? My first print tried to start right at the corner, and there was no glass there. So I used openSCAD to translate the object over to X+100 and Y+100, and then regenerated the GCode file. That worked fine, although at the beginning of the print run, the head moved from home to the starting position very very slowly, but once it got there it moved at normal speed. I'm using printrun/pronterface to print my objects, and Gen6 electronics with SPrinter.

Are there any easy ways to force an object to print in the middle instead of the corner?

Activate Multiply in Skeinforge and set Center (X,Y) @ (100,100).
