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.
Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus?

99% of the time when I’m limited by my printer’s footprint, it’s in bed area not total volume.

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).

Actually, when you put it that way - I can totally see your point I have 3 large footprint printers but x and y are really what used most, for big z index prints I have a print mill
