Inside there is an additional menu that allows us to vary the overall printing speed, expressed as a
percentage and identical to the present as a feed rate information screen (velocity is the parameter
which is varied by rotating the knob from the screen information). Below the set temperature for the
nozzle: the value is in degrees Celsius and any change must be confirmed by pressing the menu knob.
The next item is the fan speed, adjustable from 0 to 255; with very low values the fan may not even
start to turn.
The stream value is relative to the percentage increment or decrement in material flow in the extru-
sion phase: slicing software calculates exactly how the material is extruded to create individual lay-
ers, but unforeseen changes or not declared in wire diameter than the given value as a parameter
to the slicing could then request compensation and this entry serves for this purpose. A value of 100
corresponds to any variation of the flow of material, values less than 100 reduces the contribution of
material and higher values increase the extruded material from the value predicted by the G-Code.
In all cases, it is a percentage.
The latest rumor concerning the change of the filament while printing: the procedure arises from the
need to replace the filament out with a new reel for use until after the previous coil, but this item can
also be used to change the color of the filament or even the same type of filament by maintaining the
ability to continue printing without defects in the object.
The procedure starts with the shift of the extruder in parking area, then the engine expels the cur-
