Comment on (UPDATE: I think I found the solution?) Unable to print larger 3D models?

I was able to print by lowering the models by 4mm, making the bottom flat enough to correctly adhere! It turns out that it was an issue of the model, not my hardware

Why not just orient it in a different way so a flat surface was touching instead of cutting a part off?

It’s only 4mm, so it’s no big deal. Plus, this is a helmet shape, so the other sides are round (and therefore need more supports, using more filament and such)
