    I have quite a big part that I want to print, it's so big that is has to lay diagonal . It fits in the space that mattercontrol says it can print in, but for some reason when I try to print it doesn't fit on the bed. It looks like the whole print is placed a little further to the back than where it's placed in mattercontrol, but even if i move the part in mattercontrol it keeps printing it in the same region.

    Can somebody please help me? I'm getting really frustrated.

    When I rotated the part 180 degrees it would print, so everything is fine now. Thanks for the response.

    Slicers are terrible at managing bed boundries. It can fit in the build volume, but then it tries to put in a skirt that pushes it outside the print bounds. Very annoying bugs.
