Posted · Need Help Setting Machine Head Size

Hi guys, let me first start off by saying that I don't own an ultimaker, but I absolutely love cura and it's the only slicer I use. I used to have a printrbot simple and that was easy for the head size to set up, but now I upgraded my simple to a printrbot plus and don't really know how to set the head size, what dimensions should I use per the picture below. I know I need a square around the head (Ubis Hot End) but not sure what else.

    Because the gantry on that printer is quite low, I don't think the head-size settings will be much of a use to you. They are used for one-at-a-time printing. And define the area that the head needs to avoid to hit a print while printing another print.

        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.
