Bed size
In PrusaSlicer the bed size is showing as 250, 210 (x, y) but i notice that the extruder nver gets across to the right hand side (looking from the front) of the printer. It stops at about 210mm from the left.
On the smooth sheet, just about the fourth dashed line.
Am i missing something? A setting? The bed size in slicer seems correct?
RE: Bed size
Have you tried moving the nozzle position using the printer movement menu? Is it indicating it's getting to the 250 X position.

Yep, moving the extruder using the move axis option gats it all the way to 250.
Re-ran all the calibrations on the printer, all fine. But notice that when it does a first layer cal and picks up the calibration points that points 7, 6 and 1 are all about the X 210 line.
I can't see anything that sets the bed size in the printer so would have assumed it should pick up to the 250mm mark?

If no obstacles block the X-axis, it should even be possible to move it up to 255 mm. Try homing and then positioning the X-axis via the terminal (pronterface, octoprint). The maximum travel distance is limited by the firmware.
// Travel limits after homing
#define X_MAX_POS 255
#define X_MIN_POS 0
#define Y_MAX_POS 212.5
#define Y_MIN_POS -4
#define Z_MAX_POS 210
#define Z_MIN_POS 0.15

Have you tried a large print that uses most of the bed? Even if you just do the start of the first layer to see if it works.
But during the first layer calibration the nozzle never reaches the right side of the bed. The PINDA probe only goes as far as the calibration points on the right to measure the distance to the bed.

Found the 3x3 calibration gcode and ran that. It printed the outline around the bed ok so i think my earlier failure to print that side was something else.
As usual, tinker one setting, knock another out - or so it seems 🙂
Will try later on to print that side of the bed. Need it for the parts for the Lack enclosure.
