01Values
02layer height = nozzle diameter × ratio/100
03Result

0.4 mm nozzle at 50% → 0.2 mm layer height.

GOOD TO KNOW

This is a geometric ratio, not a printer guarantee

Practical layer-height limits also depend on hotend, extrusion consistency and printer settings.

In short

What logic does the calculator use?

layer height = nozzle diameter × ratio/100

Example?

0.4 mm nozzle at 50% → 0.2 mm layer height.
