Custom made printer support.
My custom 3d printer looks like the picture below. The printer moves on tracks and the printhead can spin 360 degrees. I know how to set up the printer movements but will pura slicer know how to use it?

Then theoretically it should as the gcode output will be in the reprap flavour.
One thing to watch out for though is the max bed size value in PS. Its around 1.2 metres due to the register size they used in the software. https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/6072
I think people with very large printers were changing the scaling in the firmware so that a commanded move of 0.1 from the slicer would move 1mm, that way you can actually print with x10 the volume, you just have to make sure the models are scaled down to 10%.

Big depends. First one. What type of firmware does it use and is that type compatible with any of the types that PS has in its list.

Im going with rep rap. and I'll be using my own custom software written in for the machines movement.
