0.60mm hotend tip profile missing

I am switching to PETG (ugh) to print Visors with a group here in Ithaca NY. I have been successfully printed PLA for a number of years now.  I have switched to 0.60mm tip for increased speed in printing and there is no profile for it in PrusaSlicer.

It only has 0.50-0.30 profiles. How do I configure for the 0.60 tip?

Best Answer by bobstro:

My braindump on printing the NIH shield in PETG with a 0.60mm nozzle is here. Feel free to DM with any questions. I've been doing Hangouts chats with a couple of people live to get them going.

To get the 0.6mm profiles, try Configuration->Configuration assistant in PrusaSlicer menus.

Thanks @nilok! 😀

So I imagine I will have a similar question since I have a pair of .6's coming Sunday for straps.........

maybe @bobstro will pop in and provide a link to one of his awesome guides......because I've been too lazy to look into any of it yet.

Is your printer grinding? Bearings squeaking? Motors smoking?
Step 1) Wash your Steel Sheet
Step 2) Return to Step 1

I do not see Configuration assistant- only  Configuration Wizard. Is that what you mean?

Yes, close enough. Make a backup of your settings, then run the wizard and be sure to select all the profiles for the nozzle sizes you want.

You have to select the new printer that the wizard should have added.  Printer Settings and look in that dropdown, select the one with 0.6 in its name.  Congratulations you now have a ;printer with 0.6 nozzle.  When you go back to look at the print profiles the ones compatible with the 0.6 printer will be available. 

 

 

Those profiles (print settings and filaments) that are not compatible wont be shown unless you click the little flag icon to turn it red.  Red flag allows you to view and use incompatible profiles if needed.
