Return Position of Extruder?

Post by Qdeathstar »

Hello,

Is there any easy way to return the position of the extruder? The reason is that i have an enclosure which limits how big my print area is and im trying to tune it in. 197mm was working, but when i measure the radius of the print bed from the center to where my extruder should have to stop, it is around 125, which mean i should be able to increase my print diameter to 250mm... if i do that though, when i print a large object it ends up crashing into the size of the enclosure...

What am i missing?

It looks like you have to multiple your radius by .707 to get the demensions to show up correctly in simplify3D since it uses the largest square that will fit inside the printer... probable solved, except for now my part is too big :(
