Soft end stops

Mcalvert39Mcalvert39
in Repetier-Firmware
Ok im really new to the 3d printing world and im using an old Geeetech A10 that i got for free.
Im using the repetier program to control it and found that i couldn't use the whole of the print bed.
After some googling I added M211 S0; disable end stops to the script which made the motors max out. I need to set X & Y at 218 but it keeps defaulting to 220 on both. It just wont save the print shape settings after clicking apply. Does anyone know what im doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matt.

    You need to change it in printer eeprom using eeprom editor. Not sure where you saved it - firmware, host, server, slicer, ... all have this setting but for real limits only firmware counts others just need to know so they allow using it.

    Ive tried setting Esteps in the eeprom which did stop it crashing at maximum but not on the minimum side of things. 
    Im using the repetier slicer to try and limit things. 
    I am trying to figure out the G code to set the minimum and maximum limits of the print bed.

    You are positing in repetier-firmware forum but it sounds like you are using marlin. We do not have M211 so if that works you are wrong here.

    Esteps mean extruder stuff and has nothing to do with bed size so do not understand that one.

    There is no repetier-slicer I guess you mean Repetier-Host which supports several slicers. In host bed size is just what you see as bed and what host will allow to move arround from it side. Firmware limits apply as well and are enforced by the printer. In eeprom I expect something like xmax or width to define the allowed area. Do not play with steps per mm settings these are to define how to move 1mm and when set correctly do not touch these.
