When I’m printing a large part (in height) the bed tries to go lower than it can. So I get the stepper motor hitting a hard stop for a bit. How do I zero the bed to stop this?
When I set up my other printers with Orca (same as BS but more features) I had to pick a generic profile from the option closest to mine then set my bed dimensions
I’m pretty sure if you reduce the hight in the preset value of the X1C under your printer settings it will not hit the bottom
I haven’t tried it but I’m positive being a core xy the hight is measured at the bottom not the top
Go to the edit button beside your printer selected at the very top and under the basic information you will find printable height
It’s set at 250mm by default, you could try 245 or 240 mm and it should stop 5-10mm before the bottom
Bambu labs has done this way to get the max Z distance.
You might have to also mod the end G-code to stop it but you will loose some z distance.
{if (max_layer_z + 100.0) < 250}
G1 Z{max_layer_z + 100.0} F600
G1 Z{max_layer_z +98.0}
{else}
G1 Z250 F600
G1 Z248
{endif}

I can find the setting you are talking aboout.
I’m also going to look at this to fix it as well
I’m going to take a wild guess here and assume you mean can’t find the setting
At the top left you will see your printer selected, in our case it will be the Bambu Lab X1 carbon
Beside it on the right is a little icon of a pencil, that’s your edit feature
Click the little pencil and the settings will all be there 
Now I feel like an idiot, thank you!

Nah
It’s not easy to see and the instructions on the slicer are very vague…wait a minute, there are no instructions lol
Actually you are a genius because until you posted this query I didn’t even think about that setting stopping the bed from hitting the bottom
So thank you
