Calibrating LulzBot Mini 1

[BLUU]

Hi all,

I have started up my Lulzbot Mini 1.0 and am having trouble with aligning the object in the center. Whenever I upload an item to print, and when placing the item dead center in Cura, the printer itself only prints on the bottom left quadrant of the base, thinking that that spot is the center.

Could be a calibration issue? But I don’t see anywhere how I can calibrate the printer properly.

I can offset the print by moving the object in Cura towards the top right, but this isn’t a feasible option moving forward as I won’t be able to print anything bigger than 2 inches in diameter.

How can I calibrate the printer so that it can print properly?

Thanks,

You have Cura set up to use X0, Y0, as the center of the bed.

I don’t know what version of Cura you’re using, but look for the option “Origin at Center” in the machine settings. It should not be checked.

I’m currently using Cura 4.13.10

I don’t see anywhere that has the option to set the origin

Refer to my picture, it’s in the machine settings, not the profile settings.

This shows my Taz 6, but it’s the same to get to it on the Mini.
