Printable area trouble

I have a custom built clay printer built off Bryan Cera model on an x carve gantry. My model is being cut short, as if the printable area is smaller than the model. I've edited the bed shape to be 1020x1020, but it still cuts off my print at around 609x609. 

I'm not sure if it is reverting to some kind of default setting size? any idea of how to fix this? See in pic the red line is where the print should be.

RE: Printable area trouble

Do you have x and y Origins set to 0 (below the x and y size fields)?

What is your A0 definition ?  Your start gcode has a G92 which iirc is supposed to define the current position as 0,0 if there are no parameters but you have A0 in there.  So I'm guessing that it recalls the settings stored in A0 ?  So whats in there ?

Also I sliced your project and looked at the gcode and its commanding movement of x out past 630mm which looks consistent with the size of the model and its placement.  So at least the gcode looks fine.  Cutting off like that is usually a sign of the printer reaching the max, is there anything physically obstructing it ?  Can you command the extruder further out via your control setup on the printer ?

Thank you for responding, I ended up going into the setup on my printer and finding different parameters for the machine there 🙂 so you weren't wrong!
