Less dramatic this time,

I stopped the print about 15% in. The nozzle definitely needs lowering and the position is still on the right hand side.

I asked Polaroid about the firmware of the printer but don't think i am going to get anywhere.

Odd it's printing there. Please can you slice something in the polaroid slicer. position it in the middle of the bed. 

So with a -0.3mm adjustment to z the nozzle dug in to the bed but -0.15 is too far away? 

Thanks.

The cube zero is its front right so to be centred it needs to be in position Z-115, X-85 i reckon.

Polaroid starts printing at Z-115, Y-80, near enough to say that the zero is far right.

Looking at the bed photo i guess that the latest printed cube zero is at Z10 Y50.

Looking at file 1681382164-20mm_Cube_Polaroid.txt

Prusa prints at X-10 to +X10,Y-10 to +Y10 was that with the bed zero in the middle or back right?

RE: Polaroid 250s

In an earlier post you said the origin was back right but this says front right.  I believe that was with the origin in the centre of the bed.

Reading up on the nozzle Z height it seems to me that the offset is set by the G92 command.
