Changing nozzles in Cura

Posted · Changing nozzles in Cura

Hi.  I am a new user and have Cura 4.2 running well, waiting for ver 4.4 to be released. I am printing small parts currently with a .4mm nozzle. They turn out well but in the interests of getting the most detail possible I would like to try a .2mm nozzle. I am using a .1mm line height and a 2 wall thickness in Cura.  With a .2mm nozzle would I be able to use a .05 mm line height and 4 walls? Does the nozzle size have any relation to the line height?  Can I use smaller line heights with smaller nozzle sizes or is there no relationship there?  Is a 0.5 mm line height too much to shoot for?  I wonder about the smaller nozzles plugging easier. 

 

Thanks

Don

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
