    Largest printable Y axis area?

    Hi all, what is the largest Y axis dimension you have been able to print on a Flashforge creator pro? I am trying to figure out if I can print an item that is 220mm X 177mm. My machine was busy so I haven't been able to measure yet!

    Like I said in the QIDI thread you'd be lucky to get 160mm in Y. The Physical travel from switch to the gantry Y axis crashing into the front is 165mm. You need at least 5mm (preferrably 10mm) of cushion for safety. So that is 155mm max Y. That is 5mm cushion in back so the switch isn't tripped and 5mm in front cause the gantry binds a little the closer it gets to crashing.
