Switched to Sailfish, but head is printing off the bed, not in middle.

[Raymo]

as title.... I've upgraded to Sailfish

Managed to get GPX running with Slic3r, thats fine.

but my prints are not starting in the middle of the bed,
instead they start to the top right (as I look at the bed).

Saved the home coordinates before I did and loaded same into Sailfish.
x = 152mm
y = 75mm

Set Bed shape to :
x = 228 x and y= 150


what needs to be done to make the prints start in the middle?

Thanks

Sorry , but 'Sailfish' is Really a 'Downgrade',
for the CTC !

Note: that's my conclusion from what I've read,
I've Not had a need to try Sailfish myself.

Why do you keep doing that. The guy wants input from real world experience, not from some third party "read it on the web so it must be true".

Erase your eprom.

As I said, it is 'My conclusion' !
Therefore it is 'True to Me' !

Why do You Keep being So Negative about my helpful comments ??
There's No need for you to be So Competitive !

Because they are not helpful. I have yet to see a helpful comment from you. If someone tries something and thinks it is crap they post on the Internet about how crap it is. If someone tries something and it does exactly what they need then they do not post about it generally.

The guy has put Sailfish on, a good move. How helpful do you think it is to tell him that he has done something he shouldn't have because you read on the Internet that someone doesn't like Sailfish. What he needs is a solution to his home/centre/off table printing problem not some imaginary diatribe about how you read something google said.

Sailfish is without doubt the best OS for this type of printer, it leaves any of the originals for dead but there is a potential problem with it when installing it if you do not erase your EPROM before you start. This information is given all over the net. If you follow the instructions carefully then you never meet the problem, I didn't because I read everything I could before I made the decision to upgrade

The Fact remains that Sailfish firmware is NOT Needed,
with the CTC printer !
And I want Everyone to Know That to be a TRUE statement !

As a warning to anyone else that may think they should make the Same Mistake that many Others have !
I consider that Very Helpful advice !

What you say is correct but Sailfish firmware will improve all this type of printer so if your intention is to make the most of what you have then Sailfish is the way to go.

If you are content with it not working quite as well as it could do and not printing quite as well as it could then you are right, there is no need to put Sailfish on.

problem is it's not true. Come back when you've tried it.

Why did you delete your post about thermocouples? Was it because everything you said was completely and utterly wrong?

ahem... OP here...

I erased the EEPROM but the offset is still there..
So do I need to re-flash again after EEPROM erase?

FYI, I'am creating the .x3g code using the start/end G-codes proviced below... could this be adding an unwanted offset?
http://www.3duniverse.org/2014/01/05...forge-creator/

I think these sctipts are for flashforge and they seem to add some good steps... but perhaps they are not useable on CTC beds (or need some editing perhaps)?

And I'm using Slic3r post-processing script to trigger GPX converter.

Thanks
