Metal Corner Brackets

So referring back to our original diagram here  what you're going to see is that we're going to   move our print head to exactly the position that's  on the bed itself you can also use the front panel  Metal Corner Brackets for this to adjust where the print head needs  to start printing now this will only take effect   when you're actually printing so when you home  it's going to still home off the bed but what will   happen is once you start printing it will use this  offset to know where the start of your print bed   actually is and one more restriction you have with  this is that you have to be within 10 millimeters   of the actual home position otherwise marlon will  say that you're too far from the home offset so   you can see here i've navigated to exactly the  start position that i want for my print bed   so now in procter face we're going to enter  m428 and it's going to make that position zero.

Position and then we're going to use m  500 to store it as well once it's stored our   printer will remember this position every time  as the zero position for starting any 3d print   now our printer's still going to home to the same  position but when we go ahead and tell it to move   to the zero zero zero position it's going to  go ahead and move it to that new spot that we   just configured now you can also use the marlin  m206 command if you know where these positions   are but i find this process works considerably  easier for someone that's new to 3d printing   so you can see setting this offset is pretty  simple i thought it was a really simple process   when i discovered this command i use it for  everything so if i'm changing my build.

I go ahead and use this often Metal Corner Brackets to just know what  the difference is in the thickness of my build   area so if i'm using a piece of glass i can go  ahead and say that glass is three millimeters   thick replace the build surface and then just  change this offset by navigating directly to   that location and then using m428 and then to  set it back i just have to subtract those values   and use m428 again when my print head is exactly  where it needs to be on the bill plate itself   so with that is going to be the end of today's  video if you enjoyed this quick tip make sure you   mash that like button and don't forget to share  and subscribe so you don't miss another great   quick tip coming up if you'd like to help support  the channel consider checking out our patreon page   our patrons get early access to a lot of content  especially our 3d printer builds and a lot of   other really great information so check that  out if you'd like to help support.
