| Values for version 4.x will be inicated in GREEN. Please note that for v4, you can load settings from file. |
Note that you must flash these settings to the head to make them the new default.
Some settings for the MK-Type heads (like temperature, prime/unprime values) will vary, depending on what material you are printing with. Nozzle diameter should accurately reflect what nozzle you have loaded (0.5mm is default) AND what path width you sliced for (recipe path or extrusion width should be nozzle diameter plus 10%). Having said that, here are our default shipping settings:
