With MK4, shouldn't print with 0.6 nozzle be faster than 0.4?
I just shifted my MK4 from 0.4 nozzle to 0.6.
I was expacting much faster print time due to much larger zozzle area.
Yet it is not the same, in some case even slower, while all other paranmeters (that I control) are the same.
Why is that?
RE:
Did you change the printer profile to a profile with the correct nozzle size for this?
As you can see in the attached screenshots the printing times for the same model are quite different for a 0.4 mm nozzle (top) and a 0.6 mm nozzle (bottom).
RE: With MK4, shouldn't print with 0.6 nozzle be faster than 0.4?
Keep in mind that two perimeters with a 0.6 mm nozzle extrude more filament than two perimeters with a 0.4 mm nozzle. You will therefore reach the maximum volumetric speed more quickly. In addition, the default infill for a 0.6 mm nozzle is 20% instead of 15% for a 0.4 mm nozzle. This is because the wider the extrusion width, the sparser the infill at the same percentage. Compensation is therefore necessary to avoid overly long bridges.
