max print height only 1200 and "vector too long" when slicing

Hi,

I have previously printed parts around 2000mm high put with a small foot print. This was some time ago using an older version of prusaslicer. It appears that there is a max print height of 1200mm on the newer versions?

There has always been a 2132x2132mm bed size limit but that could be bypassed by using a circular bed size which can be much bigger.

My next problem is that I get the error " vector too long" when I try to slice the model. The model is really big. 3000mm long and 1300mm wide. If I reduce the size I'm able to get it sliced but that's not and option.

I'm afraid that prusaslicer is simply not capable of handling such big models but if anyone know how to bypass these limitations please let me know.

You might want to try the Super Slicer fork of PS.  While its currently a bit less stable due to the many more experimental features it does allow configuration of large bed sizes.  I just set up a 2300x2300x2000 printer and added a cube that was 2100x2100x1900 to it.  It worked (but dont use perspective camera lol).  

Cant guarantee it wont crash with a large or complex model though.  Although it also has settings for precision so if you have issues you might be able to work around it with them.  The developer is very helpful too.

https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer/releases/tag/2.3.56.7 is the latest release (based on PS 2.3.0)
