I thought pretty much every modern slicer did this automatically?

Skeinforge is old and it doesn’t do that. As I don’t want to maintain patches for Skeinforge in Fedora or any other downstream, I’ve created this.

@Miro_Hroncok nobody should be using Skeinforge anymore. For anything.

I find it rather good for what I need. I use multiple slicers depending on what I want to achieve.

@Miro_Hroncok I enable Multiply (with Rows and Columns set to 1) in Skeinforge for my Mendel90. This places the print at X=0, Y=0 (bed centre) and Z=0.

+Anthony Morris: Skeinforge still has great value - just ask @nop_head why.

@Neil_Darlow It doesn’t print at Z=0 for me, what I’m doing wrong?

@Miro_Hroncok Using the Multiply feature of Skeinforge, your STL can be offset from zero and it will be correctly placed. I do not know why it does not work for you but I am using your packages so it can be made to work.
