Printer won’t print in centre of plate using Cura slicer

Post by Bill A »

My new A20M geeetech printer when using Cura slicer always starts printing at x0. Y0 and only prints one quarter of the model.

If I print the G code of the sample model supplied with the printer it prints perfectly. I have printed a model sliced with Repetier and printing started at the centre of the plate but I didn’t know enough about Repetier to be able to heat the base plate so I wish to continue with Cura if I can overcome the start problem. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you don't have the correct printer settings. Check the Cura settings for bed dimensions. Also, see if Cura has that printer listed. If not, you will need to use a 'Custom'' printer and enter the printer specs manually.
