260mm size
I am just finishing my kit build and I revisited a 3d model I want to print and noticed that it is 260x140x50mm. It seems Prusa is only 250mm.
Can I get away with printing this or are these measurements a hard rule? It is less than 1/2” difference.
Thanks!
RE: 260mm size
It will not let you print anything larger than 250mm.
If the actual size of the project is not critical, you can easily scale it down about 4%, either on all three axes, or on the X only.
I've also found a few cases where I've had to split the model into pieces, print them, and assemble them with glue and/or registration pins.
Sometimes, if the design permits, you can rotate the part to fit...
Eg., you can rotate 90 degrees in X so 260x140x50mm becomes 260x50x140mm and then again 40 degrees in Z when Hey Presto! It fits.
This isn't always practical but from time to time it proves useful.
Cheerio,
