It's possible to move the object to the bottom left corner in order to get it to print on the middle of the Onyx bed.
I found a bug in the GCODE created by the CraftWare slicer. It generates M106 SXXX and M107 commands even though there are no options in the configuration.
Here's a solution in PHP to fix it:
Code: Select all
<?php
$gcode = file_get_contents("craftware.gcode");
$lines = explode("\r\n", $gcode);
$outputLines = array();
foreach($lines as $line){
if($line == "M107")
continue;
else if (substr($line,0,6) == "M106 S" && substr($line,6,3) != "255")
continue;
else
$outputLines[] = $line;
}
echo file_put_contents("craftware-fixed.gcode", implode("\r\n", $outputLines));
?>
Otherwise, the slicer is working well and has features similar to KISSlicer and Simplify3D. However, it's free (beta) and only available on Windows.

I recommend trying this slicer... No one is looking in this sub-forum.

I just tried this yesterday - really love the interface and how it handles the models/slices... Feel like I can actually see some close up details. I havn't been able to produce a printable gcode yet since it produces a double layer on the first few layers and I'm not sure why.... I don't have the delta shape, just a centered square 300mm which is fine for now.
This looks very promising, although their terms and conditions state that Thingiverse is an affiliate and that makes me nervous
