Configuration wizard.

Hello

I have purchased an i3 mk3s+ printer and although a couple of weeks ago i could find on the configuration wizard the option to add a 0.5mm nozzle profile, now it isn't there. I think i had an older version of the software back then. The thing is that i have purchased a nozzle with 0.5mm diameter for woodfill filaments and now i don't know what i must change for the new nozzle.

RE: Configuration wizard.

You can create a new profile with any nozzle size you like ... Printer Settings > Extruder n

That said, 0.5 is a little small, the lowest recommended for woodfill is 0.6mm.

Cheerio,

"Woodfill is less abrasive than metal composites, but we suggest to use larger nozzles (0.5 mm and higher)."
This is from here https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/filament/82-woodfill-filament-600g.html
I know i can change the value but i don't believe the difference between the profiles is just that. That is my problem. I don't know what else to change and i was counting on a tested configuration.

RE: Configuration wizard.

Have a read through Bob's notes.  I believe there should be all you need to know to set up a profile for a new nozzle.  https://projects.ttlexceeded.com/3dprinting_prusaslicer_profiles.html#customizing-printer-settings

btw I agree with Diem, 0.6 is better and 0.8 is better still.  You get some larger particles in the woodfill filament and even a 0.5 will clog up.  As always it depends on your filament quality.

Well i can't agree with anyone as i have 0 experience with this matter. I'm just quoting what prusa says on it's page which i took for granted.

I'm gonna read that article and i'll try to do what it says. Thank you very much for the information.

Have not seen a 0.50mm nozzle preset from Prusa, but they're available

I have only ever seen support for 0.25, 0.40, 0.60 and 0.80mm nozzles from Prusa directly. There are lots of 3d party presets of course.

I've got sample presets for 9 different nozzle sizes here that you can try. That collection hasn't been updated for a while, but I've had reports of good success from a lot of users using them.

I'm very sure that i saw that preset in the past few weeks and that's how i chose the nozzle i bought. Anyway. I'm reading this page you provided but i see nowhere a link to download that .ini bundle file you are referring to.

Oh i see now. I just had to change the type of the file. It was .txt not .ini that's why i got confused. It worked, thank you.

Small nozzles

Even though I am printing wood mostly with a 0.6 mm nozzle these days, I have actually printed a fair bit of wood filament with 0.4 nozzles and never seen a clog. I'm not advocating for using a 0.4 nozzles, all I'm saying is that @neophyl is probably right, it depends on the quality of the filament, and you may well get by with a nozzle smaller than 0.6.

Well i bought colorfabb woodfill and corkfill from prusa. Also i got the nozzle x 0.4mm. They arrived just now so i will change the nozzle and i will try the woodfill with the 0.4mm settings. One question, a bit irelevant to the subject. Are the two aforementioned filaments hygroscopic? Also i bought the xt-cf20.

Most filaments are hygroscopic to a degree, but results depend on local environmental factors

Filled filaments will be less prone to clogging in a larger nozzle. I'd go with 0.6mm or larger if that's an option.

Most filaments are hygroscopic to a degree. Your local environment ultimately determines how much of an issue this will be for you. PLA is normally fine, but I've had severe problems when weather conditions are just right. XT is definitely hygroscopic. It's a copolyester, much like PETG.
