The center of the first model is located in the middle of the build plate and has the x-, y- and z-coordinates 0/0/0.
A positive x-value moves the model to the right and a negative value moves the model to the left side of the build plate.
A manipulation of the z-coordinate is usually pointless. The model can‘t hover above the build plate, so a positive z-value is impossible. A negative z-value results in an immersion of the model into the build plate, which would cause an incomplete print result.
We want to move the model 30mm to the front:
To do so type „30“ in the y-axis field.
A negative value would cause the model to move to the back of the build plate.
In cases where dimensional measurements of the part require better tolerances than ± 0.05 mm or surface roughness better than 10Ra, the indicated surfaces must be machined.
For these cases it is essential to provide an over thickness of material.
