Starting with an UM2+, and therefore an Olsson Block, I was wondering on what precise criteria (for ex max or min layer thickness) do we choose a given nozzle diameter (0.25, 0.4, 0.6, ...) and which settings (flow, extrusion speed for ex) we must use with each diameter in Cura or Simplify3d. I could not find a tutorial on the subject and my searches on the forum did not give exhaustive results. Thank you if you can help.
