Hi!
I'm about to pull the trigger on the purchase of an Ender 3 Pro. To that end, I have downloaded Cura v. 4.4.1 and am attempting to familiarize myself with it.
Problem is, all the tutorials and videos I've read and watched, all seem to be aimed at people who already know what they're doing! In other words, I'll see something that describes what I am wanting to know, but the details are so glossed over and the explanations so lacking, that only someone with reasonable experience would know what they're talking about. I've even tried to follow a few video tutorials in the program, but nobody really explains how the relationships work together, or even explains where to find the feature or setting to make any adjustment.
So, I'm going to try to ask a very specific question, in the hopes that I can get a response I can understand and follow.
I have a set of parts that are all roughly cylindrical, ranging in height from 88.92mm to 152.41mm. They all have variations in diameter through the height of them, as illustrated by the attachment that shows the largest of the parts.
It is my intention to print these with an 0.6 nozzle, and at " but I'd like to understand the settings better so that I don't end up with a print that takes two days and uses 130 meters of filament. The relationships between the settings are not very well explained in a manner that I can follow how they work, to wit, if I change the Layer Height setting, to what should the corresponding Line Width setting be altered so that it will print efficiently and properly? Likewise, the internal fill patterns and densities aren't explained well enough for me to find the right settings. I'm afraid I don't understand the technology well enough to be able to express myself adequately.
In any case, here is the image of the part, and I'll try to answer questions as best as I can. Thank you.
