Circular Bed Size

Post by Pingel »

Quick question...

I haven't touched my printer in many months due to moving around and stuff. I figured I would start fresh because I don't remember much.

Before I was using repetier host and now I installed MatterControl.

So far it's working great but I'm not sure about the bed size. It says 150 x 150 but that is only about half my bed size. Is this measured by the radius? or is there a giant safety buffer around my print area?

I was trying to print the fancy articulated octopus and stick as many tentacle pieces on there as a I can but I don't want to waste a print by trying to print off of the bed.

Thanks!

In Repetier and MatterControl there is a place you can specify that you have a round bed.
The radius of your bed is 11" or 280mm in metric. I hope that helps!
