Hi all, I've been successfully using Cura with my Snapmaker 2.0 A350 printer for some time now. The printer comes with an 0.4 mm nozzle and I would like to do some very fine printing using an 0.2 mm or 0.1 mm nozzle. I have setup 2 new printer profiles in which I have edited the "Nozzle size" parameter under the "Extruder 1" tab in Cura but I need to know whether I should make any changes to the printer or extruder G-code to adjust the transmission rate of the extruder to prevent it clogging when using a smaller nozzle. I am willing to experiment (at my own risk) but have no idea where such G-code changes should be made. Can anyone help or advise me? See screen captures below for my printer/extruder definitions. Thanks in advance JP, the model boat guy

Hi, I use Cura with my Snapmaker 2 A350. I don't think you can directly connect the printer to Cura, but the way I use it is to generate the G-code file in Cura and save to disk. I then open the saved G-code file in Snapmaker's Luban softare and send the file to the printer over Wi-Fi. I hope that helps. JP

I have been successfully using Cura with my Snapmaker 2.0 A350 for some time. At first I defined a new printer myself using some Start G-code and End G-code that I found online, but recently discovered that Snapmaker 2 appears in the new printers list. That also works well for me. I simply generate the G-code, save it to disk, then use Snapmaker's Luban software to open the G-code file and transmit it over Wi-Fi to the printer. Hope that helps

Hi, I am using Cura with a Snapmaker 2.0 printer to print parts that are typically 200 x 200 mm at the base by say, 120 mm tall. Each of these parts are sections of the hull of a model ship and are roughly a 'U' or 'V' shape. At the top and bottom of the parts (direction as printed) there is a 3mm thick flange (or "lip") which will be the seam where adjacent sections get glued together. These flanges seem to cause my parts to curl or warp outward at the top edge as shown in the attached photos. I experimented with making the flanges thinner (1.5 mm) and it seems to reduce the effect, but unfortunately, they are required. I also experimented with another printer (Flashforge Dreamer) but it seems to do the same, so I'm not sure if it's an issue with Cura or a more general 3D printing issue. The print material I use is eSun PLA+ and most Cura settings are default, except for the slightly higher nozzle temperature of 210 deg which is recommended for PLA+ (as opposed to PLA). Can anyone offer advice? Thanks, 'JP' (TheModelBoatGuy)
