  1. Thanks for the detailed explanation. It's clear what you are trying to explain. I just have one question. Does making the extruder think that it is in a different feed position and giving it a new value, also affect the filament quantity that is shown on the 3D printer? Say, I jump from E100 to E200, does the printer think, the 100mm of filament skipped as already used and reduce that from the quantity left? Because it's a common printer shared by multiple people at office, I don't want to confuse them with these kind of work.
  2. I am going to print 100s of parts, that's why any improvement on speed is important. But thanks for the info. I'll try slicing for two nozzles and put that together and see if it works. Looks like a really clever workaround.
  3. So, if I understood correctly, the extrusion volume only depends on the line being printed and is independent of the extruder nozzle size. So, I can just change the extruders without altering any "E" values and it should speed up the printing process as expected if the wall width is appropriate, is that correct?
  4. Hi, I am trying to print a CAD model with two different extruder nozzles - AA0.4 and AA0.8. I need to print only the first few layers with high quality because of some text in it. After the first few layers, I don't need high accuracy. So, I am trying to print them with 0.8 nozzle to speed up the process. I read somewhere that, I can just change the extruder at the specific point. But I don't see how that will change anything because the layer heights still remain the same. Also, won't that cause an issue because of extrusion volume being mentioned in each line? Is there an other way to handle this? Any suggestion would be greatly helpful. Thanks!
