This adds a new option, extruder_clearance_offset, to the Sequential Printing Limits configuration settings. This setting allows offsetting the nozzle on the generic clearance model.

This is useful for extruders where the nozzle is near the edge of the toolhead, for example:

Since the clearance radius must be the maximum distance between the nozzle and the edge, if the nozzle is at the edge then the clearance radius must be set to nearly double the real value. By offsetting the nozzle, the radius of the generic printer model can be set to much smaller while still maintaining accurate clearance. A visual representation of the nozzle position was added to the model to visualize the offset position:
