How do ppl deal with this to get the print to center bed.

I have been looking for a better solution to this but I have given up and just set the max position and endstop to the same.

position_endstop: 242
position_max: 242
Is there a better solution to this? I wish there was a way to define the printe-erea in klipper independently. You need the extra movement on Y axiz to reach the klicky mod at the back of the frame, mine is mounted next to the lead screw, left side. (E5Pro dual Z, Org. Bed)
The other way is more simple I can just define negative values to reach my sexbolt endstop on the left side of the bed.
I also "needed" the extra movement on the X axiz when using CR-Touch to probe the entire bed properly. After switching to Klicky I have not changed this, I dont need this space now, but I have been avoiding changing all the coordinates in my configs.

The annoying thing is that I need to take into account the "offset" when I place my prints on the buildplate.

The problem became more evident now when trying to switch to Orca Slicer as many of my prints went of the front of the bed (thank god for exclude object :D) even if I have defined the bed size to 230x230, In Cura I have 235x235 and had minimal offset issues.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong ?

you can set max larger than endstop position, you can also set negative minimum

#

my advice, with your current config add minimum like -40 (just be careful this is too much, just temporary), home and move to x0 y0
from there move the print bed to where you want xy0 to be
if positive you need to increase your endstop position by that much (along with maximum if needed)
if negative decrease

#

after you have xy0 where you want, move into your minimum travel before it hits something and adjust minimum accordingly

#

you can do the same for maximum
