Printer Settings

Creating profiles for different nozzles

The default nozzle diameter for most of today’s printers is 0.4 mm. If you decide to use a different diameter nozzle (you can read all about the benefits in our article) and there isn’t a built-in profile for it, you’ll have to make one yourself.

Rather than creating a brand new profile, it’s best to start with an existing profile and just modify it.

The two main things that have to be adjusted are:

  • Nozzle diameter in Printer settings – Extruder 1
  • Extrusion width in Print settings – Advanced

 

That means you’ll have to save not only a new printer profile but also new print profiles.
