Dotted Sheet

Since my MK3S was fairly new, March 2020, I've been printing with a 0.4 Tungsten Carbide nozzle. It's been great, and I've printed with stock profiles.

Today I decided to test out a 0.6 E3D V6 nozzle. There are time I'd sacrifice some quality for speed. I swapped in the 0.6 brass nozzle, calibrated Z, and and calibrated my first layer on a smooth sheet. When it calibrated Z and I start a print, everywhere the nozzle touches the sheet, I get a small dot of filament. I recalibrated Z and redid my first layer. I'm stumped, because I've never seen this before, but I am a neophyte at nozzle changes.

I just started another run. I lowered the filament temp by 10 to 205. No dots and the first layer seem to be going down nicely.

This is why many people modify their start gcode to preheat to around 160-170 during mesh levelling and only after it has finished increase the temp to full printing values. Known as the Bobstro or a no ooze start and was adopted for the mini start sequence when it was released.

RE: Dotted Sheet

Nothing unusual here. Glad you found the solution yourself. Best thing to do is to adjust the startup gcode as Neophyl mentioned. And get a 0.6 mm TC nozzle! I have them from 0.25 through 0.8mm. 🙂
