Topic: Nozzle diameter question

I have always used a .4mm nozzle diameter
Ultimaker makes a .6mm and .8mm print Core

1. will the nozzle stay hot enough or do you have to slow down the extrusion speed.

2. do I have to slow down the travel speed

3. will I have to set up a total new profile in Cura or will it change all the parameters
    when I change the Nozzle size.


Thanks
Dale

Re: Nozzle diameter question

1. you will most likely need to increase temps along with slowing down

2. travel speed is just that, travel, not printing. so that would have zero affect on prints

3. Yes, you would have to create a totally new profile to fit the parameters of the larger nozzle. it "might" change a couple of things simply by changing the nozzle size, but i highly doubt it would change everything that would need changing

Re: Nozzle diameter question

If go from a .4mm to a .8mm nozzle will it change stuff like holes and threads when i download stuff from thingiverse
I am using cura and according to Ultimaker Cura will adjust everything when to the print core diameter.
but they said with the larger nozzle you loose detail
