Ultimaker 2+ printable area too small and shifted left

Posted · Ultimaker 2+ printable area too small and shifted left

For some reason my Cura 4.1 shrinks the size of my printable area to 223mm X 223mm.

It has also offset it to the left as seen in my picture. You can see the size of the print bed in grey.

That box used to fill it and match the print bed. There are old files I can no longer print because

they are out of the printable area. I know I can change the X and Y values in machine settings

but when I do the box just shifts to the left and off the bed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing

including wiping old perimeters and starting fresh. Any other thoughts on how to fix this issue would be 

appreciated.

    That matches my view of Cura for the UM2X+ and when I look at the printer itself. You lose print space on the right hand side because the nozzle isn't centered on the fan shroud (it's on the left)--you lose a lot more space on the right edge of the bed.

    223 by 223 is also dead on to the advertised specs: https://ultimaker.com/3d-printers/ultimaker-2-plus

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        New features
         
        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.
