Yes, those settings were copied directly from a working default Makerbot-2.4 Profile
and I can Not find any other related settings there.
(I will try to find related settings in my Rep-G, may be tomorrow though,
since I no longer use Rep-G and Python-interpreter but still have it on another computer)
I don't understand what the X-toolhead setting of 33.992 could be ???
There's nothing like that in Makerbot-2.4
and the Z-offset should start at zero then move to .2
(Maybe the X-toolhead setting was for a CNC-machine, not a printer ?)
I'll try to find that also.Last edited by EagleSeven; 02-01-2016 at 05:38 PM.

Well I tried to get Rep-G G & M code list from the old computer this morning
but for some reason Rep-G could not find Python interpreter.
I don't think I uninstalled it, so don't know what happened ??
So, I don't think I'll be able to look for setting codes in Rep-G, Sorry !
I suggest that you use Makerbot-2.4 slicer, It's much easier to use than Rep-G,
when computer is connected directly to printer through USB cable.
2.4 is great after you find all the Hidden stuff in it
Note: I've had problems with later versions of Makerware,
so still use version 2.4, that came with printer on SDLast edited by EagleSeven; 02-02-2016 at 07:25 AM.

It's the tool head offset (For those wondering I mean the distance between the extruders) . When I updated to Sailfish, all of my home axis remained, but my tool head offset had been set to 0, so when the printer used the left nozzle it went way left and started clicking before attempting to print.

If I remember correctly there is a Firmware setting to select which nozzle is #0 and which is #1.
(new firmware may have the nozzles Reversed ? )
So, maybe if you switch those it will fix the startup location and keep them over bed-plate ?
Then select the correct nozzle in slicer software as primary (#0) and secondary (#1),
to select which to use when printing.Last edited by EagleSeven; 02-02-2016 at 11:41 AM.

I've already worked out the issue, I was simply explaining what the setting was. This offset being set to 0 is a common problem upgrading to Sailfish in CTC printers. If you do a little googling, you'll see others with the same complaints. The reason I put the value 34mm instead of the other values you had listed was because his symptoms had matched mine from my update.
If you find that firmware setting, that would be great, as most software likes to default to the right extruder head, and I can't get my extruders level to each other so I primarily use the left.
Please explain to me how to...
