Pre-cooling (extruder change)
What temperature the nozzle drops to during ramming, to ooze less when switching extruder. 0 turns it off.
How it works
Before switching extruder (printers with two nozzles, like the H2D) or hotend (printers that swap it on their own, like the H2C), the nozzle does a “ramming”: it pushes out a stretch of filament so it doesn't ooze while it waits. On printers with a single extruder and a single hotend, like the A1, these settings do nothing.
When to change it
- With a single extruder (like the A1): don't touch it; it has no effect.

Watch out for
- If your printer does switch extruder or hotend and you see strings or leftovers of the previous filament right after the switch, this is the group of settings to look at.

What Bambu Studio says
To prevent oozing, the nozzle temperature will be cooled during ramming. Therefore, the ramming time must be greater than the cooldown time. 0 means disabled.
