Blue Box ( gcode job bounds ) partially outside current work area ( green box )

Is the green box supposed to be my current work area?

And blue box my current gcode job bounds?

How do I get the blue box aligned and inside the green box?

I tried moving the maslow all the way down to the bottom left corner and defining that spot as XY home. Blue box didn’t move.

As far as I can tell the green box currently does not correspond to the real world. If you move the maslow around by jogging you can place. It in the real world at the corner of your material. Set this corner as home using the set home button. Then do trace boundary to see if the material is going to be covered by the cutting area. I would also make sure that you have some extra foam or something at the edges so that the maslow doesn’t tip over. Other advice is to run some of the gcode with no bit to see if your setup makes sense. Hope that helps. I am working on some better instructions that will explain all of the interface but it is not up yet.

The way the web page interprets this is not ideal, the initial screen always puts the centre in the centre of the Rectangle instead of moving the home position to where you set it. There are multiple (5) views available.
Try left clicking on the white area to change the view. Although part of your Gcode is outside of the green box, the Maslow will still start from the home position as defined by the XY Home. Any cuts will be in relation to the defined home position.

Thanks; it also looks like the red circle target, green box, and blue box are all distorted/squished a little.

I have seen this too and tried to figure out what is going on there, but I haven’t had much luck.

I think it is a css/js issue… interface is squishing the image to fit within it’s container.
