Printing with 0.25 nozzle - "waved" print...?
Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the 3d printing scene, so.... please be gentle 😊 .
I've swapped the MK4S factory 0.4mm nozzle with a Prusa Brass 0.25mm nozzle ( https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-nozzle-brass-0-25-mm/), as I was curious if it can give more detail for the same filament type.
So, I printed a "Fillennium Malcon" ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:919475) using both nozzles using the default print settings (profiles) available in the Prusa Slicer:
- Prusa Slicer 2.8.1.
- 0.4mm at 0.1mm FAST DETAIL profile
- Added "Support on build plate only"
- 0.25mm at 0.05mm DETAIL profile
- Added "Support on build plate only"
- PLA - Made for Prusa Silver ( https://www.prusa3d.com/product/silver-pla-filament-1kg/)
Ignoring the print times, as they will obviously differ massively, I got a... "dent"... "bump".... "wave" at the end of the print with the 0.25 nozzle.
So... the questions are...
- Why?
- Why there?
- What did I do wrong?
Any insight is greatly appreciated and "Thanks in advance!" is obviously needed. 😊

Well they're here now 🙂
If you print it in the orientation set in the stl files provided a tall, narrow print like this is going to wobble - the area in contact with the build sheet is small ... try rotating it 90° in the Z plane so that the Y axis movement is better resisted and print it slowly - use a Quality setting and slow it down by 25%
Cheerio,
