Fun fact: Earlier today I accidentally set my initial layer line width to 5mm while using a 0.6mm nozzle. Yes, you read it right.
- Amazingly — and for reasons I still can’t explain — I didn’t get the dreaded blob of doom or any clogging at all (and this was with PETG, no less). Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today.
- On the bright side, this turned into a little accidental experiment on the true maximum extrusion width for this nozzle. I was able to peel off one of the bottom layer lines, and it measured 2.3mm wide — that’s about 3.8× the nozzle diameter. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this as a stable or reliable setting, but it suggests that going slightly beyond the 2.5× we discussed above might be possible in some cases. Probably 3x wouldn’t be crazy?
For context: this was on my Bambu P1S with a 0.6mm Bambu nozzle.
