Layer Height Calculator
Find the optimal layer height for your nozzle size to maximize print quality and speed.
How It Works
Enter your nozzle diameter. The calculator shows the minimum, optimal, and maximum layer heights, plus how many layers your model will have at each setting.
Formula
Optimal Layer Height = 25%-75% of Nozzle Diameter
Frequently Asked Questions
What layer height gives best quality?
For best quality, use 25% of your nozzle diameter (e.g., 0.1mm for a 0.4mm nozzle). For speed, use 75% (0.3mm). Most prints use 50% (0.2mm) as a balance.
Can I use any layer height?
Layer height should be between 25% and 75% of nozzle diameter for reliable adhesion. Outside this range, layers may not bond well.
