latest version of slicer and 0 values in advanced printer settings.
I upgraded to version 2.3.0 last week, and this week changed to a 0.6 nozzle.
With the previous version, when I went up to 0.6, after stating nozzle size under printer settings, extruder 1, I went to print settings advanced, and Zeroed out the first section of settings, to allow the software to set them appropriately, which it did.
But when I came to print this time, it put a good test line down after the 9 point levelling, and then extruded nothing for either the skirt or the model. When I went back to print settings, advanced, there were all the zeros still there. When I put them all to 0.45, I got some real printing going on, but I dont know what they should have been. I know that top solid infil should be less than external perimeter setting, though, so the print was not right.
I was surprised not to find the settings updated prior to the print.
Is this me screwing something up, or is there a problem with the version?
Thanks

RE: latest version of slicer and 0 values in advanced printer settings.
I have all extrusion widths set to 0 (auto) in my profiles and am not having issues with PrusaSlicer 2.3.0. You can use values from 100-200% of your nozzle size. Be aware that anything entered as a percentage will be calculated as a percentage of layer height, not nozzle size.

Thanks. I did not know that.
On previous versions, when I set the values to 0, they were updated by slicer to the correct value.
Now, for my set-up at least, they remain at 0, and work as genuine 0s, with 0 extrusion! Not very helpful.
And it is a bog standard setup, as far as I know.
