Input Shaping Re-Calibration after Nozzle Swap

So I swapped out my 0.4 CHT nozzle for a 0.6 E3D HF.  Subtle changes in dimensions; i.e. the E3D nozzle head extends further out past heater block than the original. Wondering if a input shaping re-cal is required.  Thanks in advance.

RE: Input Shaping Re-Calibration after Nozzle Swap

I don't know for sure, but I would suspect not. AFAIK the big driver for changing IS would be significant weight change to affect resonances through mass damping. Small geometry changes like you see aren't even measured with the accelerometer.

I changed my heater blocks from the stock aluminum to copper (i.e. heavier) and ran the IS calibration with the Prusa accelerometer and the resonant frequencies only changed a few Hz from the default. I honestly don't remember the values though.
