Axis limits

[MRJEON]

For example minimum axis limit (example-x axis)
If this is 20, is the origin of the x-axis 20?

axis limit is generally the maximun space you can move , if you put x20 y30 z50 it mean that the maximun you can print it a cube of 20x30x50 it the total space you have

[MRJEON]

For example, the minimum value is
x 20 y20 z0.2
Maximum value
x 100 y 100 z 10
What if it is?

Define "origin".

The bed on my printer is a piece of tool plate 310x310.

The printing surface is a magnetically secured piece of flexible steel 300x300.

I prefer to have X=0 Y=0 at the center of the bed so I set X/Y min to -150 and max to +150.

The maximum range of motion for X and Y actually is about -160 to +160.

I confine printing to 295x295 to allow for variations in the placement of that 300x300 piece of steel.

Does that answer you question?

Then, if the minimum value x 0 and the maximum value x 150, is the zero point x 75?

OK let's use the actual command M208.

Assuming all other settings are correct...

• If I use M208 X0:300 Y0:300 then X=0 Y=0 should be the left-front corner and X=300 Y=300 the back-right corner AND X=150 Y=150 the center of the bed.

• If I use M208 X-150:150 Y-150:150 then X=-150 Y=-150 should be the left-front corner and X=150 Y=150 the back-right corner AND X=0 Y=0 the center of the bed.

Does that help?
