Arbitrary build volume shape #11170

Open Tupson444 opened 1 year ago

Tupson444 commented 1 year ago

2.6.1-rc1 has introduced arbitrary (custom) bed shape. Similar to that, would it be possible to introduce defining arbitrary build volume shape?

Like importing 2D STL file for defining custom bed shape, there could be an option to import 3D shape of the build volume.

This can be useful if using bed clips, which should be avoided up to, say 5mm height, while overhangs leaning above the clips should be permitted. Another case is, for example, if a printer has certain Z max height, but one corner should be avoided to prevent collision with print frame (this applies to custom modified printers obviously, as factory ones shouldn't have such a problem).

You are right. In general, there are some applications. Delta printers, I have in my mind.
