medium📝 Analysis Q6 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify mismatch between nozzle width and settings
If the nozzle width is set smaller than actual, calculated wall thickness will be less than real.Step 2: Exclude unrelated factors
Layer height, speed, and filament color do not directly affect wall thickness measurement.Final Answer:
The nozzle width setting is smaller than actual nozzle size -> Option BQuick Check:
Nozzle width mismatch causes thin walls [OK]
Quick Trick: Check nozzle width setting if walls are thinner than expected. [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Blaming layer height for wall thickness
- Thinking print speed affects thickness
- Ignoring nozzle size settings
