Clicking on the button will open up the materials editor and allow you to change the

The last new category exposed by the Intermediate mode is called Printer. This category

The figures here are pretty self-explanatory. You're unlikely to need to change the parameters
on this option page, so let's go to Extruder and see what that's all about!

One of the nice features of the hot end that the Rostock MAX uses is the ability to change the
nozzle that you're using for a print. The stock hot end size is 0.5mm, but if you're going to do really
detailed work, you may want to change to a 0.35mm nozzle. If you're doing coarser work and want to
print really quickly, you could use a 0.7mm or larger nozzle. In order for the slicer to know how to
properly calculate the material flow rate, it needs to know what the diameter of the nozzle is. It goes
hand in hand with the material diameter setting that we covered earlier.
