Hi.
How do I set up the Cura so my objects are printed in the center of the Rostock. Or even better, how do I control the position of more oblects?

Tnaks in advance

I also am interested in using Cura but since no one has answered your message it appears no one on this forum is using Cura. I tried to Google the
net but I am not finding too much info using Cura with a Delta printer. I hope that someone will eventually give you the answer you are looking for,
I think many would benefit from using Cura if they resolve the problems running it on a delta printer.

I use Cura and I've set the build area to be very small (10mm x 10mm or something). That way the parts are only slightly off center. It works just fine (for my purposes)...

If you have to do that then Cura has not been updated to work with the delta printers. I think I am going with Repetier host.

I think Polygonhell writes about that somewhere to set
Maximum width to 1
maximum depth to 1
maximum height to your measured height.

And i think after you load model you should reset your scale.

Maybe he can tell or correct me.

That would probably work, the way I do it is edit the configuration file with a text editor and set object_center_x and y to 1.
I got that from here https://github.com/daid/Cura/issues/266 and it has changed between versions in the past so be careful.

Do you use Cura or Repetier Host?

Both.
I use Cura to slice and save the GCode and repetier host to drive the printer.

Daid has a new engine he's doing extensive work on that looks much more promising than the SF backend of the current Cura... It should make this type of workflow even more practical...
