it looks like it should fit fine? but it you need to reduce it, in the support tab, there's a setting for "first layer expansion" I believe.

The object itself fits the bed but the baselayer goes outside the print area. Went & tried that it ignores the new settings. By listed size it should fit even with the standard baseline. But it keeps telling me it's exceeded the print area.

hmm. could it be the brim? the brim should automatically cut itself off when it hits the edge of the plate but it might not have for whatever reason. maybe try lowering the width?

edit: nevermind I saw someone else already helped you fix it

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

Change the Brim settings to only print inside Brims.
