Solved Nozzle Size in the Software

Out of curiosity, what would happen if your nozzle size setting was entered larger than the actual size?

 

Larger values would over extrude, or jam. Smaller values would under extrude

The nozzle diameter is used to calculate the extrusion volume, which directly affects the feed rate.

 

Thanks Mike. I had hoped my new problem wasn't serious. I loaded a ".fff" file that, was posted in another thread. I didn't notice the setting was for a larger diameter nozzle. The first attempt stopped when the filament pulled out. I thought it had tangled or something. The second attempt it did it again at about the same place the first one did. I monitored the 3rd attempt and at about the same place, the feed gear starting spinning real fast and the filament wasn't feeding. It had retracted but not completely like the other two attempts. I tried pushing it back in manually and it ended up coming out the side. When I get home tonight, I'll enter the correct nozzle settings and hopefully that will take care of it. Hopefully the nozzle isn't clogged!

 

Trying to figure out how that "Unresolved" got on the header. All I did was post a new thread.
