When fooling around with the settings for model placement (top tool on the left toolbar) the center point of the virtual build plate is the origin even though (with Origin at Center turned off) all gcode will be created with 0,0,0 at the left front corner. In Cura, models are brought in by placing their 'center of geometry' at the center point of the Cura virtual build plate. The gantry height (build plate to the bottom of the X beam) determines the 'Z' limit for printing one-at-a-time. That's the interference area and they can't overlap or Cura will refuse to slice. If you play with that setting, you will see a gray area on the build plate around each model. If you do, then Cura will check those printhead size numbers and notice if the printhead will crash into a model that might already be built up. If you have multiple parts on the build plate, you can choose to print them one-at-a-time. Those numbers are the size of the interference area of the print head.

It's an easier point of reference for a moving part. There are some things (like the printhead settings in the right side of your screen shot) that use the center of the nozzle as the origin. The Print head settings look weird (some negative numbers for some reason), but every time I select a different Ender 5 (or plus (which is different than my 5 pro)), it has the same print head settings in it.Īttached is a screen capture of what is auto populated, and the odd looking print head settings.Īny help/insight will be greatly appreciated,įor most things and certainly for any gcode files you print, the origin is at the left front corner. I have the printer profile setup as an Ender 5, with all the printer settings that are auto populated. I just don't understand what I'm missing, when a file that works perfectly in Creality slicer software, fails in another software. Imported some other known good, print profiles, same result.

I've tried to find things in the menus, and even copied the gcode from the creality software (start and end), and no change.

I don't know if I'm missing something, or if there's a compatibility issue with my Ender 5 pro (with 4.2.2 board), and Cura software or I'm just not finding something to get it to setup correctly.Įvery time I try to print a sliced file (that works from the creality sofware, just opened and sliced in Cura after) the print head maybe moves 1/2' and tries to print only in the area where the printer normally homes.
