The setting values are created under the following assumptions:
- Material manufactured and dried according to the material guide.
Explanation of the table columns:
- Sensor Distance: Distance between nozzle and point where the filament touches the sensor.
- Fan Distance: Distance between the nozzle and the top of the fan.
- Fan Power: Fan setting 0-99%.
- Hole: Hole size in the nozzle in mm.
- Weight: Attached weight to sensor in form of washers (M5).
- Result: Fillet diameter in mm determined by digital caliper.
