I’d like to have the possibility to select my printable area by drawing an outline
(my circular bed has some holes that I want to avoid), sure I can place the parts
manually, but why not add a feature to define no-go zones ?
Greetings,
Kobaan
Re: Printbed No-Go zones
"no go zone for bed" only is not very useful, just having a guide on the bed with markings so you can move your parts away from damaged areas gets the job done in 99% cases and you can easily do that by making stl of the print surface and importing it into s3d.
what would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay better is to be able to import stl into "printer settings" that defines "no go volume" inside the printer that generated g-code would 100% avoid at all cost (never print inside the volume, never move head trough this volume .. etc).. I'm sure everyone have at least 2 use cases for this type of feature

gcodestat integrates with Simplify3D and allow you to
Calculate print time accurately (acceleration, max speed, junction deviation all taken into consideration)
Embed M117 codes into G-Code
Upload your G-Code directly to Octoprint

This would be helpful to keep away from the bulldog clips holding the glass down.

Re: Printbed No-Go zones
+1. I have two spots, made by my printhead, of which one in the middle of my printbed. Because the head pushed into the bed it created a small wall around the hole.
1st request: If we can mark rectangular and/or circular spaces as no-go. Make them visible on the printbed in the UI and be able to save them. This so we can move objects around them.
2nd request: Let auto placement use these to avoid placing objects above these no-go zones.
3rd request: Make sure the printer head never passes over these no-go zones.
4th request: Be able to specify the height of the no-go zone so you get a cube/cylinder and have the printer head never move into this cube/cylinder.
If these no-go zones can be saved with the specified printer it will be a big+.
