Unable to slice large model

I have a model that is a 209mm circle.  I am unable to slice it because the slicer says it is outside of the printable area.  I've double checked the printer setting and the bed is defined as 250mm by 210mm.  I'm using the "Arrange" function to allow the slicer to place it on the correct position on the bed.

I've changed the size of the model and the largest size I can slice is 205mm. There is no brim and no loop in the Print Setting tab.

Any ideas?

Please save your project as a .3mf file

Files > Save Project as

Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.

Cheerio,

Here it is.  Doesn't get more basic than this.

You'll need to disable the skirt around your model. (Print Settings/Skirt and Brim - Set 'Loops' to 0)

Why are you using Ultradetail?  There's nothing there to justify it, 0.2mm layers will be fine.

It doesn't say the part itself is outside the print area ... you have a skirt around the print and it's that which is going outside the area.  Disable the skirt (set to 0 layers) and it slices OK.

Cheerio,
