CuraEngine G-code prints off print bed

Posted · CuraEngine G-code prints off print bed

Hello,

 

I am using CuraEngine from command line to create g-code; however, when I create the G-code, it always places the prints in the top left corner of the print bed outside of the print volume (0,0 coordinates). I have tried numerous times to change values in the fdmprinter.def.json file, as suggested by others, as a means of changing print coordinates including "mesh_position_x" and "mesh_position_y" but have failed every time 😢 I have also experimented by changing "machine_center_is_zero" and "center_object" to "true" and "false" but also to no avail (this seems to have no effect on the printing coordinates). The G-code I produce has the following heading; I understand that the negative values in the header is problematic but does anyone know how to change print coordinates for the CuraEngine command line or how to fix this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        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.
