[How do i change the plate orientation? its making some nasty noises when hitting border due to wrong orientation]

those are my current settings, my printer dont have any settings in the machine itself.

[How do i change the plate orientation? its making some nasty noises when hitting border due to wrong orientation]

my printer is 8x6(150x200 approx) So i have 2 round shaped objects and when i start the print, it starts printing in the x axis (6in) but i need it to print in like portrait orientation(y axis/8 inch), hopefully i made some sense.

Awesome 🙂 Glad that got fixed for you...happy printing. But, know that there are some really bad files on Thingiverse.

I know that now, thanks

my printer plate is like protrait mode orientation if your were looking straight at it(LCD side)

[head hitting the plate when starting any print. Does anyone know the setting to stop this from happening? i have a malyan printer.]

thanks for the input, learned something new. i had to download a gcode file to re calibrate the printer.

hello gang, my printer head is hitting the plate before starting any job, does anyone know the setting to stop this from happening?

Bingo!!

 

That's one of the bad definition files.  The default Z Hop speed is 10 and then your mini definition file changes the max Z speed to 1.5 but leaves the Z Hop speed at 10 so it's a show stopper.

 

Next to the Setting Search box is a dropdown box for setting visibility.  Set it to "All".

Scroll down to the Speed section and then "Z Hop Speed" and you will see that it is red and has 10.0 in it.  Set it to 1.5 and you should be good.

thank you, you freaking Genius!!! It worked!! thanks, thanks, thanks.

at first i thought it was a design issue, but i have downloaded over 6 projects, they all give me the same issue. i saved one those, attached.

MM_Talon_Body_Locking project.3mf

so any stl file i open in Cura gives me the same tower position error, I have a malyan m320 machine. it does not matter how big or small the project is, always the same error, so i have not been able to print anything other than the preloaded design 😞 . Im new to this, im thinking the issue is somewhere in the settings.

hello gang, i am new to 3d printing, just got a machine a week ago, it came with a sample gcode file, that prints without any issues, but i cannot print anything else because everything gives me a slicing error. Has anyone ran into this issue?
