going to be near 2.9mm+/- 0.1mm, You will want this to be an accurate
average, as it will allow your printer to correctly calculate how much
filament it is pulling into the hot bed.
Filament Flow
This controls how much filament your printer is extruding in relation to
speed. This setting is mainly used to adjust for filament density variations.
Leave this value at 100% as changing it can lead to surface quality issues.

Nozzle Size(mm
This defines your nozzle size. The slicing engine uses this value combined
with your other settings to determine how quickly to feed filament into your
hot end. The Mini ships with a 0.4mm nozzle.
Retraction Speed(mm/s
Retraction Speed determines the speed at which your filament is reversed
out of the hot end for travel moves and when changing direction during
printing. We recommend keeping this set to 180mm/s.
Retraction Distance
Retraction Distance determines how much filament is pulled out of your hot
end on travel moves and when changing direction. You will want to adjust
this depending on temperature settings and filament type. Higher thermal
retaining filaments such as PLA behave better with a longer retraction
distance. We have found anywhere from 1mm to 3mm is a good starting
range.
Initial Layer Thickness
This will control how thick your first printed layer height is printed onto the
heated bed. Having a larger initial layer height will help prevent your part
from popping off the plate. Your MALYAN M200 auto leveling system could
be affected if you change this from the standard profiles. Adjust at your
own risk.
