Understanding extruder parameters
In this section, we will review all the parameters related to the extruder, its temperature, and its behavior when printing:
Figure 17.7: Extrusion panel
The options are divided into two main categories:
- Extrusion: A list of settings that control the extrusion width of every extruder
- Extruder #: A list of options to control each extruder, independently controlling parameters such as temperature and extrusion flow
Let’s take a look at these in more detail.
Extrusion options
The following parameters are mostly related to the dimension of the nozzle and are rarely changed:
- Part Extruder: When using a multi-extruder printer, this selection panel can specify which extruder shall be used to print the part geometries.
- All the options from Extrusion Width (mm) up to Bridge Extrusion Width (mm): These values are used to determine the width of the toolpath. As a best practice for most...
