Homing Your Printer:
Entering G92 X0 Y0 Z0 into the G-Code input box under the manual control tab will reset all references to 0 to allow you to home your printer. The easiest way to do this is to click the 'Turn Off Motors' button, by hand push the X axis to the left, the Y axis toward the rear and lower the Z screw to your level bed and type in the above code or add that to the 'Starting G-Code' in Slic3r (we will expand more on that soon) and all current positions of the stepper motors will be treated as 0, 0, 0.
