Modify position_min / position_max to avoid collision
I have a camera mounted on the front right corner of my VC3 500, that is on the (500, 0) coordinates, but the toolhead / gantry collides with it when going to that position for the prime blob.
I was about to change the prime blob position, but I thought it might be even safer to change position min/max to avoid the toolhead to go there altogether.
[stepper_x]
position_max: 490
[stepper_y]
position_min: 10
I just wanted to make sure i this approach is really better and that I won't be messing around any RatOS function like priming, adaptive mesh, etc.

I would do it like that too, everything except bed_mesh and z_tilt point will adapt to that. Worst case scenario you're gonna have to move a zilt point and adjust the full bed_mesh, but i think you should be good.
looks like he just need to move the x endstop block a bit
from this perspecitve it almost looks like the toolhead is outside the print area
Or both even
move the x endstop a bit, limit it 5mm or something
both legitimate ways to fix it

What an eye have you both! I checked and for X, the nozzle right on the edge for x=0, and it's a little bit farther away for x=500, which I guess is good for this situation.
For Y the nozzle is outside for y=0 and has more margin for y=500, so I guess I should move that one a little bit backwards, correct?
After that, I must get the additional room needed by modifying position min/max, right?
Correct on all counts 🙂

Marked as solved for future reference: everything works perfectly.
