So if I know my printheads dimensions I can for example print a far away island part of the model first binding the part better together?

  The easiest way to do this is simply to slice two files and concatenate the gcode.

    Most slicers have a mode to print "object by object", allowing this. I wish slicers had an even smarter mode: Reduce free-space moves. When printing a castle with 4 turrets, the slicer could be smart enough to know that after printing the main part of the castle, it can then print the turrets one at a time because they won't hit the print head. If the turrets were a bit taller, and would collide with the print head, then you could still print half of all the turrets, followed by the other half of all the turrets. End result: Less print time, less retractions, less moves over free space (stringing).

      And better adhesion due to less cooldown
