Creality Ender 3 - printing in front of the tray











up vote

I am trying to print my first test but my Creality Ender 3 starts printing near the front edge and within 10 seconds is printing in front of the tray (off onto my table). I really think it should be starting the print in the middle and then never going so close to the edge and even over it



What can I do?

When a print is not printing on the build platform, you either:




  1. Have the incorrect settings in the slicer (e.g. Ultimaker Cura, a common mistake is that the "origin at center" option is active), or


  2. Have the center of the bed incorrectly stored in your firmware. (See: How to center my prints on the build platform?)

    The Ender 3 has its standard homing position not set to a point on the build plate but rather a couple millimeters in front of it. To fix it, you will need to switch the firmware of your printer.



    A walkthrough I had with that exact same machine is at Recalibrating Home Position
