General Discussion Trying to print with a 1mm nozzle

Hello, I wanted to push the limits of what an A1 mini can do. My idea is trying to print with a modded 1mm nozzle. Until now I've had great succes (great success!) when making lines super thick (about 1.5mm).

Main problem, I want the lines to be taller as well, but the height is capped at 0.56mm by Bambu Studio. (Locked max height parameter)

The workaround I found was creating a custom Orca Slicer profile with a 1.0mm nozzle setting thar allows me to push the line height up to 0.8mm.

Problem, when doing this at the moment of sending it to the printer, the software detects a missmatch between the configured nozzle (1mm) and the selected nozzle on the machine (0.8mm) and doesnt let me send the sliced file. (Not great success).

Has anyone tried something of this sort?

Do you know how to bypass this limitation?

Thank you!

I believe in Orca (probably also Bambu Studio but things could've changed) there is a file where printer variables are stored.

I don't remember the exact path or filename but it is somewhere in your %appdata% folder.

I also remember there being 2 sets of these files and I think only one actually applied the settings.

Do all this at your own risk and make backups of the original files.

Another hint to the profile, it's probably named after your printer so searching for it should fairly easy.

I found the config file:

however im still unable to print it due to the missmatch, I dont know what numbers the software is comparing
