Type
Mode: Simple.
Variable: filament_type.
Material base type (e.g., PLA, ABS, PETG, etc.).
This setting affects coefficients used in various calculations, such as brim width or temperature warnings.
Vendor
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_vendor.
Vendor of filament. For show only.
Soluble material
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_soluble.
Soluble material is commonly used to print supports and support interfaces.
Support material
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_is_support.
Support material is commonly used to print supports and support interfaces.
Filament ramming length
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_change_length.
When changing the extruder, it is recommended to extrude a certain length of filament from the original extruder. This helps minimize nozzle oozing.
Required nozzle HRC
Mode: Developer.
Variable: required_nozzle_HRC.
Minimum HRC of nozzle required to print the filament. A value of 0 means no checking of the nozzle's HRC.
Default color
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: default_filament_colour.
Default filament color.
Right click to reset value to system default.
Diameter
Variable: filament_diameter.
Filament diameter is used to calculate extrusion variables in G-code, so it is important that this is accurate and precise.
Adhesiveness Category
Mode: Developer.
Variable: filament_adhesiveness_category.
Filament category.
Density
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_density.
Filament density, for statistical purposes only.
Shrinkage (XY)
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_shrink.
Enter the shrinkage percentage that the filament will get after cooling (94% if you measure 94mm instead of 100mm).
The part will be scaled in XY to compensate. Only the filament used for the perimeter is taken into account.
Be sure to allow enough space between objects, as this compensation is done after the checks.
Shrinkage (Z)
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_shrinkage_compensation_z.
Enter the shrinkage percentage that the filament will get after cooling (94% if you measure 94mm instead of 100mm). The part will be scaled in Z to compensate.
Price
Mode: Advanced.
Variable: filament_cost.
Filament price, for statistical purposes only.
Softening temperature
Mode: Simple.
Variable: temperature_vitrification.
The material softens at this temperature, so when the bed temperature is equal to or greater than this, it's highly recommended to open the front door and/or remove the upper glass to avoid clogs.
Idle temperature
Variable: idle_temperature.
Nozzle temperature when the tool is currently not used in multi-tool setups. This is only used when 'Ooze prevention' is active in Print Settings. Set to 0 to disable.
Recommended nozzle temperature
Min and max recommended nozzle temperature for this filament.
