Missing Nozzle Diameter Settings

[LupusOrchid 0]

I purchased a 3rd party steel nozzle for the Olsson Block in my Ultimaker 2+ because I'm going to be using a somewhat abrasive material for a special print. The nozzle diameter is 0.5mm, not one of the standard 4 sizes included with the Nozzle Kit (0.25, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8).

I am unable to locate where in Cura I can manually enter the nozzle diameter, as I can only find the standard 4 sizes in a drop-down. I've gone into Preferences -> Configure Cura -> Settings -> Settings Visibility. I manually looked through the entire list and there's no option for "Nozzle Diameter." I even filtered for "nozzle" and "diameter" separately; no luck.

I asked a friend with Cura to show me where it's supposed to be. He was using a Mac, and the setting is there. It's not present in my PC version of the software. Am I missing something? Did Ultimaker forget to put it in the PC version of Cura?

OS: Windows 10

Printer: Ultimaker 2+

Cura: 2.3.1 PC 64bit

Change the 'Line width' will do exactly the same. Just double check the other settings below that, most are hidden by default.

You will find nozzle size in Preferences -> Configure Cura -> Printers

Click on your machine and click 'Machine Settings'

Atleast for my Ultimaker Orginal, I would assume its the same on Ultimaker 2+

But as Neotko mentioned, line width will do the same.

I'm using a 0.4 nozzle and usally have line width 0,35 to get better prints

Is width alone enough?  I guess Cura will adjust the flow rate to compensate for the larger width?

In Cura 4.5.0 at least, I can change the nozzle by going to "settings", "extruder 1", "nozzle size."

in Cura 4.6.1 you need to change the line setting! Nozzle size is gone!

A printer definition can either have a nice dropdown of different nozzle sizes to use OR it can have its nozzle size manually adjusted in the Extruder tab of the Machine Settings dialog. Cura does not allow for both, since you would get conflicting settings.
