Hi, for pla I would just start with the basic settings you can get from cura, it's a good starting point. To tune them that really depends on what you want to print.
Brass, glow filaments are 'abrasive' so your nozzle will get eroded over time.
Wood filament might require a bigger nozzle than 0.4 so to avoid clogs start with the 0.6 nozzle.
Settings for that filaments highly depends on a lot of factors, specifically the speed and layer height you want to use.
As a general rule you should get the filament makers suggested temperature and try a small print at a safe 40-50mm/s print speed. Then you start to tune temperature/speed until you get the quality (or print time) that you need.
It's really impossible to suggest setting without knowing the speed, kind of objects or many other details so I would just print something, and if you don't like the results post good photos ofthe problem and we will try to give you a hand as well as we can.
Hi. Thank you for the reply it really helped. I tried printing with wood and this was the result that came out. I printed with 50mm/s. Any suggestions?
We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
