Prevent base overlapping

Hi all,

How can I prevent overlapping an object but instead printing around it?

This is probably a CAD / Layout problem: What are you trying to do?

Cheerio,

No Diem, not the CAD (FreeCAD 0.21)
I have a base of 55 x 55 x 0.2 mm (1st layer only) and a logo 10 x 10 x 0.4 mm.
For my purpose (step by step), I want print first the logo and after that the base.
Not over the logo but around it.I use PrusaSlicer 2.8.0

So the gap between the logo and the surrounding base need to be no more than half the diameter of the nozzle; no need for the full print head radius.  Measure your nozzle and enter this in Print Settings > Output Options  as the Extruder clearance and use the same spacing or more in CAD.  Define the two as seperate parts and proceed with sequential printing in the usual way.

Cheerio,

Ah, now I understand: 
ERROR:Conflicts in G-code paths have been detected at layer 30, z=0.00 mm. Please reposition the conflicting objects (Object green <-> further apart)
Right?

It's geometry:  If there is a two-layer object in place then a single layer cannot be extruded closer than a nozzle radius as either the nozzle collides with the first object or the new layer cannot be squished onto the bed and won't stick - so the nozzle measurements dictate the placement

Cheerio,.
