Hi Folks,

 

I have a profile that works well on my printer and for what I am trying to do.  My next step is to test out for better detail with a .2mm nozzle.  With this profile selected, I choose the .2mm nozzle under, "Nozzle Size".  When I do that, my custom profile is hidden.  I am not sure what I should be adjusting to get this to work with a .2mm nozzle? 

Any suggestions?

    Well you aren't going to get .32 layer height and .6 line width out of a .2 nozzle.  That is a lot of flow for a .4 nozzle and the .2 nozzle only has 25% of the area of the .4 nozzle.

    Start out with the layer height settings at 0.1 and don't be surprised if you end up at .08 .

    A rule of thumb is that the line width should match the nozzle diameter so start with 0.2 for all line widths.  The rest of the settings don't matter as much.  They will have an effect on the print but dropping to the .2 nozzle is mostly a flow thing.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
