Hardware Specifications
| Component | Specification | |-----------|---------------| | Printer | Prusa Mini+ | | Build Volume | 180 × 180 × 180 mm | | Hotend | E3D Revo Micro (40W HeaterCore) | | Thermistor | Semitec 104NT-4-R025H42G | | Nozzles | ObXidian 0.25mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm | | Max Hotend Temp | 300°C | | Filament Diameter | 1.75mm | | Drive System | Bowden with direct drive extruder |
Nozzle Selection Guide
| Nozzle | Best For | Trade-offs | |--------|----------|------------| | 0.25mm | Fine detail, text, miniatures | Slowest, avoid abrasive filaments | | 0.4mm | General purpose, balanced | Standard, most profiles available | | 0.6mm | Faster prints, structural parts | Less detail, +25% impact strength | | 0.8mm | Rapid prototyping, large objects | Least detail, fastest, best for abrasives |
When to Use Each Nozzle
0.25mm - Miniatures, small text, jewelry, precision parts
- ⚠️ Avoid filled filaments (particles often >0.25mm)
- ASA and ABS work best with small nozzles per E3D
0.4mm - Default for most prints, prototypes, mixed detail
0.6mm - Structural parts, functional prints, moderate abrasives
0.8mm - Large objects, vases, rapid prototypes, heavy abrasives (CF, GF)
- Best choice for filled filaments—lowest clog risk
- May need 60W HeaterCore for high-temp materials at high flow
E3D Official Starter Settings
These are E3D's conservative starter settings for Revo hotends. Track width = extrusion width ≈ nozzle diameter.

Built-in Profiles
PrusaSlicer has profiles for multiple nozzle sizes:
- Configuration → Configuration Wizard
- Select "Original Prusa MINI+"
- Check boxes for each nozzle size (0.25, 0.4, 0.6)
- 0.8mm: Create manually based on 0.6mm profile
Nozzle Swap Procedure
Revo quick-swap (no tools, no hot-tightening):
- Cool down below 50°C
- Unscrew current nozzle by hand
- Install new nozzle, finger-tight only
- Update slicer - select correct nozzle profile
- Re-calibrate - run First Layer Calibration
- Verify - print test square
⚠️ Each nozzle needs its own Live Z calibration!
Speed Calculation
Max Speed (mm/s) = Max Flow (mm³/s) / (Layer Height × Line Width)
Examples at E3D Medium profile:
| Nozzle | Layer | Width | E3D Wall | E3D Infill | |--------|-------|-------|----------|------------| | 0.25mm | 0.125mm | 0.25mm | 25 mm/s | 50 mm/s | | 0.40mm | 0.20mm | 0.40mm | 25 mm/s | 50 mm/s | | 0.60mm | 0.30mm | 0.60mm | 25 mm/s | 50 mm/s | | 0.80mm | 0.40mm | 0.80mm | 25 mm/s | 50 mm/s |
Note: E3D settings are conservative. Prusa Mini+ can often handle faster speeds.
ObXidian Nozzle Care
All sizes:
- E3DLC coating: Non-stick, reduces buildup
- Copper alloy body: Brass-equivalent thermal performance
- Tool steel tip: Wear-resistant
- Max temp: 300°C
- Install: Finger-tight only, no tools
Size-specific guidance: | Nozzle | Abrasive Filaments | Clog Risk | |--------|-------------------|-----------| | 0.25mm | ❌ Avoid | High | | 0.40mm | ⚠️ Light use | Medium | | 0.60mm | ✅ Good | Low | | 0.80mm | ✅ Best choice | Very Low |
