Because we could put in where our bed clips were, height width etc. and then slicer or we could see if there was a collision between the nozzle/print and the bed clips. It’s something we had in CNC simulation back in the 90’s in industry.
Do other slicers do this?: Not that I have found yet.
Hi @Jimbo, welcome to the forum!
We’ve got an issue the add custom .stl files to represent your build plate which is similar to some other slicers. This would let you custom-model in the bed clips so you’d know where they were on your bed. Until we do that, I suggest you simply define your printer bounds to be the area where you can print un-interrupted by the clips.
