print height of mk3s
The mk3s is advertised as having a print height of 250mm. I was doing a print that was 9" and the printer was unable to do it. It appears to me that the max print height is 220mm. Would someone please confirm this. When I loaded the printer software it had the height at 210mm.
Thank you

Can't you just manually run Z up to max and see what the Z reading is?

RE: print height of mk3s
How did you slice the model? PrusaSlicer issues warnings when a part won't fit the build volume. Did you really let a print go that far before figuring out you had the dimensions wrong?

My guess is he changed the printer settings to 250 mm ... so Plicer was fat dumb and happy.

It's almost as if... They were trying to tell him something. Weird.

What it says on the website is 9.84, 8.3, and 8.3"'s. It doesn't say which dimension is the length, width, or depth. Maybe the standard is dwh, but in this case the width is 9.84".

They probably assumed (yeah, I know, bad thing to do) that people would read those dimensions as x, y, z. On i3 design printers (I don't have experience with other designs so I can't speak with authority) and on every 3D design tool that I've used, x is the width (side-to-side), y is the depth (front to back), and z is the height (up and down). And, this might be my failing, I never can remember what length means in anything more than a 1 dimensional context.

9.84 inches is roughly 250mm. So yes, the width on X is 9.84 inches, which means the height on Z is 8.3 inches. It's worth noting that to change the maximum print height in PrusaSlicer, you had to consciously select the Expert level settings. Those are meant for people who know what they're doing.
