Work Area Location

Hello all,

I have a problem with the print start location. In Cura and Fusion 360 I have to move my design or a downloaded file to the top right of the work area. ( otherwise it starts the print at home) Then when doing that Its seems that it always seem to move at 1/4 scale as if the table dimensions of the print area are off. If I load a Creality 3D Pro file it will start in the center.

I appreciate any all input

Regards,

Chris

    You can position your part far to the side in CAD and cura will ignore that and center your part every time.

     

    If parts aren't defaulting to the center then something is wrong in your printer settings - see "manage printers".  Make sure the size of your build area is correct and make sure you have the checkbox correct that sets origin in the corner (not the center - that's only for delta printers).

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
