There seems to be an issue with arrange not working with this, I need to get back to it, to fix it
In OrcaSlicer, an "exclusion zone" is typically a designated area on the print bed that the printer should avoid. This is useful for situations where you have bed clips, a damaged section of the bed, or other fixed obstructions.
Here's how to add a value to an exclusion zone in OrcaSlicer:
Open Printer Settings: In the top toolbar, go to the Printer tab and click on the pencil icon to edit your printer profile.
Navigate to the Bed: In the "General" tab of the printer settings, find the "Bed" section.
Find the Bed Exclusion Area: Look for a text box labeled "Bed exclusion area." This is where you will input the coordinates for your exclusion zone.
Enter the Coordinates: The value for the exclusion zone is defined as a polygon using a series of coordinates. You can enter the coordinates in a format like 0x0, 0x160, 30x160, 30x0. Each pair represents a point (x, y). The software will create a polygon by connecting these points in the order they are listed.
Define the Zone:
To exclude a rectangular area: You need to define the four corners. For example, to exclude a 30mm x 20mm area in the front-left corner, you would use a sequence like 0x0, 30x0, 30x20, 0x20.
To define an irregular shape: You can add as many points as needed to outline the area you want to exclude.
After entering the coordinates, OrcaSlicer will recognize this area and ensure that your sliced model and the print head's path do not enter this zone during printing.
Note: The coordinates are typically in millimeters. The exact method may vary slightly depending on your specific version of OrcaSlicer, but the general principle of defining a polygon with coordinates remains the same.
0x0, 350x0, 350x175, 330x175, 330x0, 25x0, 25x155, 0x155, 0x0
to the exclusion zone as shown in picture.
