Resizing the build plater

Hello,

I have searched various places but to no avail, I am hoping I can find the answer here....

I would like to resize the build plater for SLA printing so I can use the excellent auto support feature for printing on my larger format resin printing.  Despite changing the dimensions in the settings and creating a new "printer" the build plater stays the same size as the Prusa SL1.

Can this even be done?

Many Thanks in advance,

Mr Moo

Are you specifically asking for an answer in PrusaSlicer?  I do not see that in your request?

RE: Resizing the build plater

I just added in a Sl1 printer to my PS settings and then modified it to a 200x120mm size and saved it as a new printer.  It saved fine and the plater is now 200x120mm in Prusa Slicer.  The setting I changed was in Printer Settings>General>Bed Shape.  Theres a Set button visible when you are in advanced or expert mode.  Just click it, edit the bed size and then save the printer profile as a new one (cant use the default name as PS doesnt allow you to over write any system profiles).
Now when I select the new printer the plater is the new size.

So what exactly did you edit ?
