Answered Print location is different from what is shown in mattercontrol

I don't know if this is a problem but the print location is different than what is shown on mattercontrol. As can be seen from the file, it is offset. Is this something that need adjusting, and if so, how (I could not find out anywhere)? Also, is the whole bed heated or only the square portion?

 

I don't trip about the software locations since it is based on arbitrary factors. If your bed is somehow a little off due to the kids in Bangladesh forgetting to add enough torque or whatever, you may be slightly off the theoretical specs. My printer is off about two inches up front and two inches from the back. I don't think Robo miked the dimensions to the letter. I could be wrong, though

I think when they claimed "fully assembled and calibrated" they mean "we put it together and it seems good enough- hey it printed a ellipse, didn't it?"

So I assume that means the square does not indicate the heated portion. Is the whole bed heated?

 

I think anything on the bed has little basis on reality. My glass says, "Robo 3D R1"- I have the R1+...

 

If you flip the bed over, it is secured only by magnets, you will see what is actually heated.

 

I moved the center of the bed location in the y direction in my slicer to compensate for it since some prints fell of the heated portion.

I'm not using MatterControl.. but under Settings and Controls > Printer > Print Area, you should see 228 x 254 for dimensions and 114 x 127 for the print center. If you haven't changed it then it should be all good and homing based on those dimensions.
