Change layerheight and/or nozzle size
July 17, 2014 03:17PM
If I would like to print with different layer height than the 0.3 mm I always use do I need to change anything else then the parameter for that in Slic3r?

And if i like to try a bigger nozzle than the 0.4 that came with the kit is there a need to change anything more than nozzle parameter?

A small decrease in z home pos might be needed. (0.1mm or so) for the increased flow of material.

I am ready to try out my 0.8 mm Nozzle.
What would be a good layerthicknes to try?
I usually print 0.3 mm layers with my 0.4 mm nozzle, could I go to 0.6 mm layers with the 0.8 nozzle? (or even thicker?)

The limit depends on the die swell, which will be comparatively less with a bigger nozzle. See page 76 of the manual for the formulae.

OK, I have read page 76 in the manual now. And I understand it.
But one thing, the width W, how can I controll/adjust/set it?
Is it by adjustning the flow rate?

The target W you desire is set by the product of the "Layer Height" and "Edge Width over Height ratio" on the Carve tab.

To make the actual width equal that you need to set the Perimeter Flow Rate Multiplier on the Speed tab using the formula in the manual.
