Increase build area without updating firmware.

[crazyguy]

I own a wanhao duplicator 6 and part of my starting gcode script is to create a purge line at -7 on the y axis. Since my printer is obviously capable of printing oitside of its 200x200 bounds, is it possible to expand the normal build area via simplify3d to 207x207 or higher?

You can change the build size on the G-Code tab in S3D, but if the printer firmware has hard-coded limits, it might not let you go past the stock build size

Some flavors of firmware have a gcode command that lets you move outside the defined build area: (http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M564:_Limit_axes)
