Custom bed types, nozzle volume types, and profile visibility

Cloud Slicer filters profiles based on the selected machine profile, nozzle diameter, nozzle volume type, bed type, and engine. This article explains how those choices affect what users see.

Why these fields matter

Machine, filament, and print profiles can be tied to specific printer details.

Changing one of these details can change which profiles are compatible:

• Machine profile
• Nozzle diameter
• Nozzle volume type
• Bed type
• Slicer engine
• Engine version
• Filament or material

Nozzle diameter

Machine profiles can include variants for different nozzle diameters.

When you select a nozzle diameter, Cloud Slicer filters profiles so the selected print and filament profiles fit that variant.

Nozzle volume type

Nozzle volume type separates standard-flow and high-flow style setups.

Cloud Slicer shows the nozzle volume selector when the current machine or profiles include both high-flow and non-high-flow options. Profiles marked for high-flow are only shown when the high-flow volume type is selected.

Bed type

The bed type selector appears only when the selected printer and machine profile support bed types for the current engine.

Unsupported bed types are filtered out. If a machine profile marks a bed type as unsupported, that bed type will not be selectable for that machine and engine combination.

Custom bed types

Custom bed types are a plan-level feature for larger organization plans.

When custom bed types are available, admins can use them in account-level bed selections. Users still need the right profile and role permissions for the profile to appear and be editable.

Profile visibility

If a profile is missing after changing a nozzle, bed, or machine setting, it may be filtered out because it no longer matches the current setup.

Try switching back to the previous nozzle, nozzle volume type, bed type, or engine to confirm whether the profile appears again.
