Nozzle Diameter Nozzle diameter determines the width of the extruded filament and directly impacts print resolution, speed, and strength. Smaller diameters (e.g., 0.2 mm) provide high detail but slower printing, while larger diameters (e.g., 0.8 mm) enable faster prints with less detail. The choice of nozzle diameter depends on the model’s complexity, required strength, and print time constraints. In multi-material printing, different nozzle sizes are used for varying layer heights or support structures. Adjusting nozzle diameter requires recalibration of extrusion settings and layer height. |
