Tower ironing area
The area the nozzle irons in a spiral on the prime tower, where different materials meet.
How it works
When two different materials rest on each other in the prime tower, the nozzle can iron the contact area in a spiral to flatten it so the next layer grips. This value is the size of that area, in mm².
When to change it
- Don't touch it: the profile sets it.
- It only matters with several different materials and a prime tower.
