The following parameters are mostly related to the dimension of the nozzle and are rarely changed:

  • Part Extruder: When using a multi-extruder printer, this selection panel can specify which extruder shall be used to print the part geometries.
  • All the options from Extrusion Width (mm) up to Bridge Extrusion Width (mm): These values are used to determine the width of the toolpath. As a best practice for most...
