    you could try splitting larger models and joining them - i’ve had good results with dovetail joints in prusaslicer for wider prints that exceed my build volume, works suprisingly well for functional parts.

      I already do that, semi-frequently, but it can be a pain to get right for parts that require really accurate geometric stability (e.g I’ve been printing some engine components out of PA6-CF these days, had to redesign a few to fit on the build plate).
