How do I locate 0,0 on bed?

[vee]

Thanks for the help in this thread, everyone!

The same design file will load and print in the same location in the Glowforge app, so you can calibrate your design file to the jig location for precision and repeatable prints, with steps similar to what @DesignsbyPhil suggested.

You may also find this community post a useful place to start (it includes a procedure for creating a fixed-position jig):

Thanks for sharing! I would like to see snap to grid also.

Additionally, @marmak3261 makes an excellent suggestion here:

If you use a design canvas of 20" x 12", the design will always fall on the same spot in relation to the bed. Given the actual accessible area for the laser on the bed, you will never be able cut at a 0,0 on the preview of the work area.

I hope this helps! If you run into any other trouble, please open a new thread or email us at support@glowforge.com.
