Question Bed print area restriction

[Deepblue12 0]

I'm using Cura 5.2.1 with a Creality Ender 3 Neo printer. I've replaced the original bed with a magnetic PEI plate that does not require clips.

The bed size is stated as 235 x 235 and i'm trying to print a circular disc which is 220mm wide total. Cura has a thin grey area at the front of the plate which does not allow me to slice unless i reduce the disc size down to around 213mm. 

I've found a link that suggests editing the json file and removing the restrictions on printable area but when i try and save the edited file it gives me permission issues which i cannot seem to resolve.

Is there a simple fix for this...any help appreciated

Hey @Deepblue12,

Before you change your Printer Definitions there is something else you can try.

There are a number of settings that influence your build volume. 
You can change this for your specific printjob without influencing any of your future printjobs by permantly changing your configuration!

 

• Build plate adhesion, You can reduce the brim size, or set the adhesion type to None to get a lot of space back
• Travel avoid distance, is you reduce this to 0 you should also get some space back but the nozzle might leave some residu on your print
• Support horizontal expansion, if you have support enabled horizontal expansion helps with printing on top of the support but influences the space you have to print
