Configuration changes needed for a 150x150 bed

Quite some time ago I (partially) designed and build what is essentially a Vcore 3.1 scaled down using the WaltMech M1 as a base, changed to include a ratrig toolhead and 3.1 arms and using whatever specific spare parts I had. Now comes the firmware. My plan was to take a Vcore 3.1 200 profile and include the changes I need in a overrides.cfg. What are all the things I need to include here to ensure everything will work fine? Thusfar my overrides and printer cfg's look like this:

overrides.txt

printer.txt

She's working and not crashing into the sides, thanks for the help mate!

Should anyone wanna know what it looks like:

Nice! So all you'd need to change is position_max in [stepper_x|y|z] as well as the mesh_max coordinates in [bed_mesh] and the pivot points and probe points in [z_tilt]. Check the printers/v-core-3/200.cfg include to see what's needed 🙂

So just the values in there should be all?

yep, unless you have some travel outside your print volume (ie, below 0 or above 150). You'd want to put that into:

[gcode_macro RatOS]
variable_bed_margin_x: [10, 20] # -10 and 170 full range
variable_bed_margin_y: [15, 15] # -15 and 165 full range

[gcode_macro RatOS]
variable_bed_margin_x: [10, 20] # -10 and 170 full range
variable_bed_margin_y: [15, 15] # -15 and 165 full range

But it seems like you've got everything, except you need to indent the coordinates in your z_tilt config.

Motion is quite limited to the bed as-is. In the pursuit of small the nozzle can hardly if at all reach outside of the bed

then just set

[gcode_macro RatOS]
variable_bed_margin_x: [0, 0]
variable_bed_margin_y: [0, 0]

[gcode_macro RatOS]
variable_bed_margin_x: [0, 0]
variable_bed_margin_y: [0, 0]

And you should be all good 🙂

Thanks for the help altough I am not sure what exactly you with "indent the coordinates", my poor english aside isnt that already the case here?
