How to offset Y in Cura

[Mechatron127 1]

Hi,

 

I'm printing a part with a big surface, it almost takes the entire build plate.

In Cura I have centered the part by sight.

On the printer however the part is slightly offset to the right, on the left there is a 5mm gap and on the right the outer line of the brim is printed just besides the build plate.

 

The goal is to offset the "Y-zero position" of the print head by 2,5mm to the left.

 

How should I do this in Cura?

 

Kr,

You could add something like this to your start gcode:

 

G0 Y2.5

G92 Y0

 

This moves the y axis to what the printer thinks is 2.5 off the 0 position, and then tells the printer to regard that as the 0 position. If that adjusts it in the wrong direction, try this instead:

 

G0 Y0

G92 Y2.5

Thanks, I will try that and respond. (printer is now printing a big part so will take some time)

Hi,

 

I have tried but I cannot see any difference in position of the print on the bed.

Where did you put it? It needs to go after the homing command. Homing will undo the coordinate system adjustment.
