minus-squarerambos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoCombination of line width, layer height and speed is what limits your hottend, not the nozzle size Wanted to reply to another comment, but its saying that language is not alliwed lol
minus-squareShadowRam@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWell, yeah… but Line Width, Layer Height and speed are functions limited by nozzle size. You can’t make a 0.60 layer height with a 0.4 nozzle, but you can with the 0.8 nozzle. Speed is a function of nozzle size, because you can’t push 200mm/s worth of plastic through a 0.1 nozzle. Pushing too much mass through a small nozzle creates uncontrollable back pressure. With a large back pressure, your ability to control flow rate and die swell because too much.
