Where do I specify a 0.25mm nozzle size?

I have a 0.25mm revo nozzle.
Where do I specify that in bambu slicer??

Bambu Studio seems to restrict the nozzle size, it’s greyed out on my computer.

OrcaSlicer lets you change the nozzle in the Extruder settings.

Yeah, I already tried with OrcaSlicer:

But when actually kicking off the print, I get this dialog:

So it looks like somewhere my 0.25mm nozzle setting in the printers extruder settings is being ignored and a 0.2mm is used instead (I based my profile on the 0.2mm bambu profile). So during the print (after pressing confirm) not enough filement is being pushed through…

Did you try “Confirm and update”?

Yes, nothing happens.
The dialog stays presented and does not dismiss.

Click on the printer drop-down arrow then select “Create Printer”.

You get the following. Under “Create Type”, select “Create Nozzle for Existing Printer”.

The screen will change to the nozzle selection options.

Use the drop-down menu next to “Nozzle Diameter”.

Wow, this ‘Create Nozzle for Existing Printer’ thing looked soo promising.
Unfortunately, no printer shows up when trying to select a printer in the pull down.

Well, you do have to have a printer. What are you using now? Have you read any of Bambu Wiki instructions for your printer? :roll_eyes:

Try this: At the top left, Click on the Printer options symbol. Then select a printer.

These are my printers that do not show up in the ‘Create Nozzle for Existing Printer’ pulldown menu in my Bambu Studio app. (And also not in OrcaSlicer)… :man_shrugging:t2:

Edit: I was able to create a complete new printer hoping I could spec a new 0.25mm Bambu Lab P1S… But that has loads of configuration to do, I couldn’t even get that connected to the actual printer. BUT that printer that I created DID show up in the ‘Create Nozzle for Existing Printer’ pulldown menu. But none of the default Bambu Lab printers form my screenshot showed up…

They won’t appear. You make the selection from the screen you show. If you’re not changing one of the stock presets, then you must create a new printer with its configuration. Make a choice.

I also noticed your using the Apple/Mac version. I’m not familiar with that.

There is an open issue for the “Confirm and update” dialog on Github:
https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/3rd-party-printer-profile
More input there from other users may be helpful.

I think there is another issue in that the Create Nozzle choice requires selecting an Existing Printer, but the Printer dropdown does not populate, so no choice is available.

Yeah, I’m pretty much winging it myself. I noticed this in the How to Create Custom Presets.
“System presets cannot be modified directly. However, you can make copies of system presets, modify any settings you like, and save the result as a user preset.”

The new printer will be in User Presets.

And then I’m back to:

I’m going to see if there’s something I can do something with the json files stored in “~/Library/Application Support/BambuStudio” or “~/Library/Application Support/OrcaSlicer”

ouweRammer, did you ever resolve the issue? I too have the 0.25 DB nozzle for my X1C.

No, wasn’t able to figure it out. I guess it can be done with the config files, but gave up after a couple of days.

I’m trying to use a Diamondback 0.25mm nozzle via the “Chimera” hotend and have run into this same problem.

At the moment, I’ve configured the printer as though it has a (steel) 0.2mm nozzle but have increased all the line-widths by 0.05mm and hoping that the “Flow Dynamics Calibration” will handle the difference.

So far, the results have been acceptable. The “flow” lines aren’t perfectly smooth meaning that the flow probably isn’t as balanced as it should be. Not sure what to try next, though.

The other problem I’ve been having is that those lines are solidly stuck to the textured PEI plate that I’m using whereas I never had the problem with the stock 0.4mm nozzle.

I had the same problem with the Revo 0.25mm and found a way that seems to work.

On the X1C

  • set the nozzle to 0.2mm

In Orca slicer (v2.1.1)

  • Create a copy of the 0.2mm printer profile
  • Change the nozzle diameter to 0.25mm and save it
  • Slice the project and Send (not print!) to the printer
  • Go to the Device - MicroSD - Model tab, select the model you just uploaded, and click Print.
  • This will not show the error about the nozzle discrepancy and the print starts

I hope this works for you too.

Also got the Panda Revo 0,25 Nozzle and running in the exact same problem. The idea with sending it to the printer and the print from there is not working for me. Printer shows same fault on its screen. Is there any way to print with a 0.25 nozzle?

I had ran a .25mm nozzle for a while (aftermarket M6 hotend/clone).

I set the printer to the .2mm setting: so it believed it was a standard size nozzle (which I believe is a necessary step for purge volume and PID tuning).

After that, I selected .2mm in the slicer, but adjusted my line widths to be proportionally scaled up.

To the best of my recollection, it worked well and without issue.

You’d think Revo would just make a 0.2mm nozzle right? Especially given the fact they have hotends for the BL printers. I was tempted to get the BIQU Pando Revo but I don’t think I’ll bother now I know Revo don’t do a 0.2mm nozzle. Guess I’ll have to go for a Mako then, only trouble is they aren’t tool-less swaps :frowning:
