It doesn't affect anything other than the width of the plastic lines the printer extrudes.Įxtrusion Width - Manual: This is the settings I always use. This sets the width of the plastic printed for your model to be 0.48 mm for a 0.40 mm nozzle, sets it at 0.60 mm for a 0.50 mm nozzle, at 1.20 mm for a 1.00 mm nozzle, etc.
For best print results, it is often recommended that your extrusion width be at least 1.2 times your nozzle width. I think it would help me some of the tweaks to the various values.Įxtrusion Width - Auto: All it does it take your nozzle setting and multiply that by 1.2. I would love to see a write up of how this works at the nozzle and the extruder. But why does it hold the height at the required layer height? Is it compressed to size with the subsequent layer, or does it happen instantly as it leaves the nozzle? Obviously there are limits to how wide and how thick you can lay plastic and I bet on the minimum side too, to avoid clogging or some other issues. So you are depending on the plastic to lay flat and spread.

How does the software adjust the width of the extrusion? Speed and extrusion amount I guess.
Is this ideal or doesn't it matter? In other words is it best to pair layer height and extrusion width in connection with nozzle diameter to create equivalent cross sectional areas? 096mm^2) I get an equivalent area of material through the nozzle per millimeter as laid on the print in a millimeter of distance travelled. 35mm (.096 mm^2 area), the extrusion width to. Just playing around with math, if I set the nozzle diameter to.
