I have PowerSpec 3D Pro2 Printer (Replicator 1 Dual Clone)… also identical to a Flashforge.
Anyhow I was using astroprint for a couple weeks and everything worked great!
Then starting about mid September, any newly sliced models print off the right side of the bed… its almost like the print head doesnt move to the center of the bed before starting a print.
If i try to print one of my first models that were sliced in late august / early sept they print fine…
Any ideas guys?
Check your printer profile on astroprint.com. Under advanced settings. What’s the value for “Bed Center is Zero”? It should be selected.
If not, select, re-slice your models and try printing again.
For my printer the bed center is zero slider does not work… it is staticly set to ON
no way to turn it off.
Ok, it’s good then. Have you updated firmware recently. As far as I know Sailfish, which your printer should be running is always configured like that.
I have not touched the firmware.
I personally think something changed in the slicer software. Because I can pull an already sliced file out of File Manager, and it prints fine.
But if i upload the same STL file again and re-slice it … things go crazy.
Very weird,
Could you remove the printer, add it again and try? There was some work done around that settings a few weeks back. We have tested extensively with our creator pro which should have the same firmware.
Sorry for the long delay. but i have tried removing the printer as well as resetting it back to the factory defaults.
Nothing helps.
What is weird is that if i “re-print” something that is in my files from early september , it will reprint fine.
But new uploads that are sliced after late september print too far to the right side (off the bed).
This does not seem to be a hardware issue or a settings issue. Seems like a slicer issue…
Hi Justin,
Thanks for this information. It helps to know that previously sliced files are not working… We’re going to investigate this. Could you provide us with your Start GCODE? Have you changed it?
The Replicator 1 default profile has this as the start gcode:
; do nothing
Your profile has:
G28
Could you use the original start gcode of ;do nothing and try again?
I am having the same issue with my Creator Pro, was this issue ever resolved?
We have deployed a fix for this. Could you please try and report if it’s working?
The issue was never resolved. I created a new astroprint account with a different email and flashed a new SD card for my raspberry pi and it works fine on the second account.
PM me if you want the two email addresses and you could compare the settings… I couldnt find a difference though.
