Hi everyone - I’m doing some prototyping on a part I’m designing. The final part will take up nearly the entire build plate, but for a test print, I’m using a negative modifier to remove 80% of the part, leaving only a sliver to print. The problem is that once sliced, the part left to be printed is way over on the edge of the build plate, and I’d rather it be in the center if possible. If I position it where the edge i want printed is in the middle, it of course complains that part of the file is off the build plate and won’t let me slice, even though it’s all being removed with the negative modifier. Any ideas on how to get it to cut the piece and still center it?

    Could it be that you have a brim or skirt set for around the hole part that steps out of the build plate?
