    Why is my model centering? I used Vectric Desktop to get my model ready for 3D engraving. In Vectric the model is centered on the material but when I load it in to OpenBuilds it's off center. I am using the OpenBuilds post-processing in inches to send it to the computer.

    Thanks, Duane

    The grid expands to the size of the gcode (it has no clue of your stock dimensions, as the gcode doesn't extend to the unused edges)
    Go for it
