find original nozzle size

Hi,

I'm looking into old print I did (2 years ago) that I would like to reprint, but I can find the info on what nozzle size I was using. It was either a 0.4 or a 0.2mm

is there a way to find the info someware on the gcode file?

If you have an ASCII g-code file search for a line beginning:

; nozzle_diameter =

And the value should be listed there.

Cheerio,

Even easier than that, from Prusa Slicer select File>Import and then select your old gcode file.  Most of the settings are stored at the end of the file and PS will load them in from the file.  SO you can check many other things the gcode used like extrusion widths etc too.

 Diem--> thanks I found it, it was at the end tho

Neophyl--> Yes I initially oppened it with prusa, and you get a bunch of info such as the definition you set up, but not the one about the hotend size.

I think you missed my point, if you import the config all the settings are loaded, so you can go to Any of the settings in the 3 profiles and they will have been set to what was in the saved gcode file. You could then go to Printer>Extruder and looked what it’s configured to. You can go to print settings>Advanced and check the extrusion widths. 

It’s one of the ways of applying the slicing settings from previous work to new models. Not as good as doing it with a project but good in a pinch.  Basically all those values you found at the end of the gcode file all get placed in your open project. No need to go searching and figuring out what each settings means.
