Hi there
I have finally finished my build of my rostock max printer
I not have this problem....
In 3D view everything seams fine but if I click Layer view you can see that the printer is gonna print the item outside the print bed...
Anyone with a good solution??

Is this the latest MC and which slicing engine are you using?

I don't have MC installed so I don't know if this is the correct location with the newest version.
From the MC wiki:
General
Size and Coordinates
Bed Size: These values determine how long your bed is along each axis, by millimeters.
Print Center: These values determine where the center of your bed lies.
Build Height: How high your bed can lower or raise, along the Z axis.
Bed Shape: This determines the shape of your bed, either rectangular or circular.

The current version of matter control seems to not play nicely with slic3r I was having the same problems. You can either use the matter slicer or use slic3r standalone toe generate the gcode and then open that in matter control.
