Cannnot print big?

So I am trying to print a large object 165mmx165mm but my machine is only working within a 150mm on the y axis far smaller than the 200x200x200 that it should run out?
How can i fix this?
Is it actually possible to print a 200x200x200 box?
The endstop for the Y axis is adjusted correctly.
You can see from the photo where it started printing and where it flattened of the print as the y axis could not glide back any further.

Hi Matthew

Check out step 4 on this page: http://manual.prusa3d.com/Guide/2.+Y+axis/40

And no, it's not possible to print a box 200x200x200. The default Y limit is 197mm (but it can be extended slightly) and you will normally want to print a skirt/brim. Also best not to push the X axis beyond 195.
