Hi there,
I am using os x version of pronterface and it works great for many objects, but there are some that it refuses to center properly so that I can't print them. A good example is this one:

I print it and it tries to put it at the bottom 1/3 of the print bed so that it engages the endstop as it tries to print the lower half of the part. I have this problem with sprinter & marlin as well as sfact & slic3r. I get this issue even when I try and recenter the 0 point so that Y=50 or Y=150.

Does anyone know why this may be happening? Thanks for your help!
