help printing at .05

I have a model I made of the Tardis and I can print it at .2, .15, and .1 just fine. but when I try it at .05 it always seems to start having extrusion/retraction issues at the heavy retraction parts.
I've played with extrusion multiplier, retraction settings, some speed. I'm almost out of ideas to try.

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

forgot to say what the problem was.. ooops (i cant find an edit" for post)

at some point the extruder starts "clicking" i cant really tell if its slipping form the hot end being full of filament or the filament just started slipping on the gears from all the moving going on. i will try printing it at crazy slow speed to see if that helps.

the .05 in that picture i did try to fix it by reloading filament a few times. but then let the gods watch it the rest of the way.

Printing at 0.05 can be a bit tricky. What worked for me (before R3 parts) was to increase the heat and remove retractions. I haven't tried printing 0.05 since upgrading to the R3 parts, but with the improved cooling of the heatsink I may start fiddling with it again to see what tweaks need to be made.

Did you adjust for the relative dimensions in space? 🙄 😀

That's "MISTER Old Fart" to you!

I finally got my .05 Tardis. when I used prusa control it was like magic. so some crazy setting in slicer must be off. it's a shame the slicer defaults aren't the same used in prusa control. at least I finally got it.
