Per-nozzle line width and speed
On a printer with mixed nozzle sizes, each print feature is now printed at the line width
and speed defined by the nozzle that actually prints it - not by Nozzle 1 for everything.
Set them in Quality and Speed, in the per-nozzle tabs (Nozzle 1-4). Assign a feature
to a nozzle with the Process filament dropdowns (outer wall, inner wall, infill, solid
infill, support), and that feature takes its width and speed from that nozzle's process
preset:
- Line width: outer wall, inner wall, top surface, sparse infill, internal solid infill,
support. - Speed: outer wall, inner wall, small perimeter, sparse infill, internal solid infill, top
surface, gap infill, ironing, support, support interface.
Values you type in the Nozzle 2-4 tabs now take effect immediately - no need to reload a
preset first.
Per-nozzle prime tower line width
Each nozzle has a Prime tower line width field (Quality tab). Leave it at 0 for auto
(1.25 x that nozzle's diameter), or set a value. Every tool wipes and rams at its own width;
the tower's walls and footprint use the wipe-tower filament's value. Previously the whole
tower used a single width taken from whichever tool happened to be configured last, so a 0.2
nozzle could be laying 1.0 mm tower lines.
One layer height, guarded by the smallest nozzle
Layer height and initial (first) layer height are a single global setting, shown below the
nozzle tabs. They are automatically limited to the range the smallest nozzle you actually
use can print - so you cannot ask a 0.2 mm tip to lay a 0.6 mm layer. The limit follows
your assignments: use only larger nozzles and the allowed range opens up.
Note: the limit counts the object's own filament too. If a layer-height limit looks too low,
check the filament assigned to the object in the object list, not just the Process
dropdowns.
No change on single-nozzle-size printers
If all your nozzles are the same size, nothing changes - output is identical to before.
Notes
- Verified in G-code across mixed 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8 setups and a uniform 0.6 regression.
- Not yet bed-tested; please report any real-print issues with a mixed-nozzle model.
