Switched to 0.6mm nozzle, rough time of calibration
I put in the 0.6mm nozzle that comes with the Rapido 2 and I'm trying to calibrate everything. I'm hitting some problems that I can't seem to figure out, though. Anyone have any thoughts/tips/0.6 profiles?
- Red: This is the edge that the z-seam is on. It seems to have a chunk out of it. I have tried to calibrate the Pressure Advance. The other corners seem fine, just the one with the seam. It's currently set at 0.017 (it is 0.025 for my 0.4 mm nozzle).
- Yellow: The edges don't appear to be straight. There's a bulge in the middle, most visible on the corners. I've tried messing with the extrusion percentage and the line widths, but it doesn't seem to completely go away.
- Green: There are some small gaps between the top infill and the perimeters. If I bump the extrusion up enough, those close up, but then the surface on the top is rough due to being over-extruded.

I did change the nozzle diameter to 0.6 in the printer config and in Prusa Slicer. My default extrusion width is 0.62mm, perimeters are at 0.69mm. I've been playing with retraction settings and I've set them super low (0.5mm retraction at 55mm/s retract and 20mm/s deretract). I've tried extrusion multipliers between 0.92 and 0.96. I'm using a pretty high-quality filament and I did do a temperature calibration at 205 deg C.
I can see some change to the yellow problem and green problem when I change the extrusion multipliers, but the yellow problem never completely goes away and the green problem starts to become overextrusion. Red is always there.
