[Solved] Print Cut Off After Moving Global Offset/Centering Bed

I'm Trying to get back into using Simplify3D since V5 release, I have a modified Ender 3 Max running Jyers Firmware. The first thing I did was print a bed centering STL file which showed my prints were not centered within the print bed. I changed my Global Offsets X and Y settings to center the bed perfectly in the middle of the build plate.

Then I moved on to Teaching Techs First Layer Test STL file. When this is being printed and I moved the offset mainly in the Y direction the two top-left and top-right first layer blocks hit a hard stop even thought there is enough room to print the brim and square. The printer acts like its at the end of the build plate and prints over itself. Pictures are attached.

Answer: In the firmware notes for Jyers Firmware it said to use Gcode: M211 S0 to disable software endstops

Maybe you are hitting the software endstops in the firmware itself.

They also have a short article on this topic here that might be useful:

Thanks for the link, per their instructions, on V5 there is no Gcode for build volume " ensure these values match the X and Y build volume values on the G-Code tab of your process settings." there's nothing present. I wonder if I just ender in a machine larger than mine and see if it works.

My current fix. I picked the Ender 5 Plus profile and reset the origin to center of my bed, I can now print without the software bounding me.
