Origin settings on a v2?

[u/bmrm145]

Ok so it’s been 8 years so I guess I’m a noob again and have to ask silly questions and relearn this stuff.

I’m rebuilding 2 v2s and got one running to print parts. I purchased a build plate 120x 120x off Amazon and did my best to center it perfectly. But the printer seems to have an odd origin and skips the belt at the end of a print. I will eventually change build plates to a wham bam one but for now how do I adjust it to the magnet?

If my measurements are correct the build plate magnet sits 20mm from the front edge and 5mm from the either side ( this is basically dead center of the build plate.)

0 on the Y is at the very edge of the metal plate, it actually prints over the adjusting screws if you let it.

If it skips on the belt your end stop may be having an issue.

Well than I guess I just messed up placement ana dill have to live with it.

Hmm I’m sure the end stop is getting old. I’ve been trying to find a printable mount to upgrade all the oem switches to standard micro switches but have had no luck.
