setting the X & Y start points for new/next layer begin

Posted · setting the X & Y start points for new/next layer begin

hi, i noticed a small base plate i use often, and have printed a few times now, in different modes, default, fine, etc... has a small vertical bead in the same spot on each different print of the same item,,,same spot.

another forum for the printer i use mentioned that its probably where the new layer  begin each layer, and i could change the start x & y coordinates (as well as lower the temp a bit...)

 

so my question is , i see in the the attached picture, the settings area for the 'layer start X & layer start Y' but i dont know / understand what to set this to, in order to have the layer star on the inner walls of all items i print, i never want the seam on the outer walls... so what do i actually set this to, as i dont know the exact x & y of the items im printing/slicing in cura. or where to even set the start point...

thanks everyone.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
