Thick vs Thin

[Andy from Workshopshed @workshopshed My Robox is a Blue Commercial Version]

I noticed on my last couple of prints that everything was being done by the fine nozzle even though I’d selected the “Normal” setting.

What settings would use both nozzles and can you remind me where to look to see that?

Cheers,

Andy

New version of AM (1.01.00/01) dropped mixing nozzles in standard settings. You have 0.8mm nozzle in draft and 0.3mm nozzle in other settings. Not sure we’ve ever given explanation…

On the other hand, that should prevent you from creating your own profiles where you specify different nozzles for different parts of the print…

You have to manually change the nozzle profiles yourself now Andy. When you are on the settings screen click the three dots to open the slide out dialog, you’ll see three tabs, one named ‘nozzles’. First create a new profile by clicking the ‘Save As’ button. Then you can adjust which nozzle you wish to use for what.

I found that using the 0.8 nozzle for the first layer helped a lot to get a smoother, more solid finish and better bed adhesion. Hope this helps and if I’ve got this wrong people, please correct me.

The nozzles tab in a custom profile lets you choose which nozzle is used for various sections of a print.

By the way, if - for example - in the topmost field (First layer) one chooses 0.65mm Extrusion Width and 0.30 Nozzle, what happens exactly?

I’ve voluntarily chosen a combination that doesn’t make sense but can be selected, in order to understand better what does the slicer do with it.
