      Quick Question:
      Is there a way to define a custom printbed shape as soft limit for printhead movements?

      Background:
      On my Tevo Little Monster I have a ø34cm print bed which I would like to use to its full extend as far as possible. However the delta towers are quite close to the printbed, thus I would like to have a soft(ware) limit, which prevents the effector to crash into the towers.

      I would like the effector not to move in the red-striped areas in my sketch.

      I know that I can do this in my slicer, but that does not protect me from human error in controlling the printer manually. I would like to achieve the latter one.

        you can set the
        Bnnn Safe printing radius

        normally the edges of the bed are not well heated anyway and your prints have problem with sticking

          Thanks, I am aware of this. But that is not what I want. I Would like not to virtually limit my printbed this way.

            would it not be easier to do it in the slicer?
