SOLVED Set home position in Cura

[BlazyCrane 2]

Whenever I load an STL into Cura it is centered on my the virtual build plate. However when I slice and go to print it on my ender 3 pro; it starts trying to print the center of the object at my printers home which is the front left corner. a temporary fix has been to move the objects into the back right quadrant before slicing but this will only work for small objects.

 

When I look at the empty virtual bed (picture below), I see the marker which I assume is the Home spot for the program, and despite looking over most of the Cura settings i cant seem to find the default home positioning. How do I move the Home marker to the front left to reflect my printer setup?

The red/blue/green symbol shows where 0,0,0 is located (x,y,z)=(0,0,0).  Which is the front left corner of your printer.  You need to move that symbol to the front left corner:

 

Go to left side of screen in PREPARE mode.  Click on your printer, then do "manage printers" then "machine settings", Uncheck "origin at center".  Also check the dimensions of your bed - for example, if it says your bed is 100mm wide but it is actually 200mm wide then it will be printing on the left half of your print bed.

Thank you. I missed that management button in my search of the tool. Thank you very much that fixed my issues.
