This last section however is very important and you need to make sure that both the firmware type and the GPX profile match your own printer and this is something you're again going to need to check with your manufacturer. That's actually it for this section and we're almost completed on this tab, there's only a couple of other bits that we need to change but most of this can be left as they are on defaults just like you can see on my screen here. The build volume is the actual area in which a 3d printer can print this is usually supplied by the manufacturer but if not you can fairly easily work it out by looking at the build plate size and then the maximum height your nozzle can reach from the build plate the origin offset is a setting that you can usually leave at zero this setting adjusts where the printer sees the zero setting of each of its axes at usually this can be fine at zero however if you find that your printer is trying to print off of the build plate you may need to adjust them usually if you do need to adjust it you just need to set the X and the y to half their value of the build volume so for example here my x axis offset is set to 112.5 half that of 225 and my y axis again is set to half of what it is in the build volume. If you would like to send me anything, you can post it to: 3D Printing Professor Joe Larson P.O. The machine type denotes the actual design of your printer you can see that there's two different types this Cartesian robot and the Delta robot Cartesian robot is your typical rectangular style 3d printer this would be like your creator pros and your maker BOTS the Delta robot is something that has a cylindrical build column and this would be something like a RepRap Fisher for example.
