I believe there is a method to update the firmware on the printer to extend the max X and Y axis lengths from 220mm to 235mm, and that will just get it to fit on the diagonal. You just have to watch out for your glass bed clip placement, as they will then be within the printable area.
Otherwise, I believe I've seen people print it at an upward angle with supports to get it to fit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Still can't get it to fit I just tried it. I played around with it tree supports on, upside down tilted up from back to front. I was able to make it fit.  Attached FileETA- @weapons_free |

You have brim turned off? Change your bed size slightly in your slicer, usually there is a centimeter around the out edge you can regain.

Depends on the slicer you use, a brim is the outer line that is printed, by default, about 10mm's away form your print, turning it off gives you that extra room.
Setting up your bed to include 'unprintable area' often times gives you the slight extra room you need. |

I added an extra 5mm to both the X and Y in my printer profile and my Mac Daddy frame fit diagonally on the bed. |
