    hi guys
    I have bought two sheets of pyrex glass to sit on top of the heat bed. They are 200 x 200mm
    My question is how do i get the printer to calibrate itself using the smaller glass?
    Thanks
    George

    Ps that sould be Robo3DR1

    ?
    So you want to reduce the print size to what the new glass plate is?

    Edit the printer parameters in whatever software you are using.
    Somewhere it will have a machine size defined.

    Sorry, I should've said I was using S3D. I changed the settings in the G-Code settings to the size of the glass, but how do I stop the Robo3D from checking the 9 points beyond the small glass each time I go to print?
    Thanks

    The 9 points are part of Marlin firmware. You would need to change it there and re-upload the firmware to your Robo. Changing the location of the 9 points is in Configuration.h and if that's all you change it should not affect normal use of the R1 even without the glass plate.
