Settings etc on extruder size change

Post by hedgehog22 » Sat Jan 18, 2020 3:11 am

Hi all,
I am new to 3D printing.
I have been printing items from online websites for practice, but I wish to take it further by printing items with smoother faces than possible with a 0.4mm extruder head.
If I change my extruder head from 0.4mm to 0.2mm or 0.1mm, what settings will I need to change?
I am using a standard I3 Pro W machine straight out of the box, with the only adaption being on the Z axis to get a smoother finish.
The installed software is downloaded from your website, for EasyPrint 3D Version 1.2.6.

:D Hi, If you change the nozzle diameter,
Need to correspondingly change the nozzle diameter setting in the slicing software,
Floor height setting,
Layer height generally does not exceed 80% of nozzle diameter.
I hope this can help you.
