Poor prints after the recent firmware update
The print quality, using the same settings and material, deteriorated. This happened after the most recent firmware update to my Mark4S. The current firmware version is 6.4.0+11974. Looks like the input shape needs to be calibrated however the necessary module requires that I purchase a part to preform the calibration. I have included a photo. The cone on the left is the result after the firmware update. The cone on the right is before the update. Any thoughts or solutions?
RE:
I should add that the printer is in it's stock form down to the original nozzle. I'm using the same PLA as well as the Prusa Slicer. Minor VFA's were noted prior to the update but the increase unacceptable.
How old is the nozzle?
Cheerio,
RE: Poor prints after the recent firmware update
The nozzle is an original as supplied with the MK4s upgrade. It was printing fine until the firmware update.
RE: Poor prints after the recent firmware update
I don’t think it’s the firmware. The print is showing signs of a worn nozzle. Brass nozzles have a limited life-span. Would start by buying a new nozzle.

But buy a hardened one, they last a lot long
RE: Poor prints after the recent firmware update
The nozzle was new with the recent 4s upgrade and it was printing fine. Currently the installed Nozzle has less than 75 hours usage and I print PLA exclusively. I doubt seriously that the nozzle is the problem.
It does seem unlikely - but examine the nozzle with a magnifying glass and check for damage.
Cheerio,
