Strange banding since changing to 0.6mm nozzle.

I was getting great prints on my mk3s using 0.4mm nozzle..I switched to 0.6mm and am getting this weird banding suddenly.

Using default profiles for .35 layer height, bed 60 and nozzle 210.

Is it maybe something odd with perimeters due to the different nozzle size?

OK so now I've looked I had set the min ezternal perimiters higher to 4. I think the banding only happens when I get to layers that have some thinner parts. Maybe it's the min perimiters are too thick then and cause this.

Tried a Cali cube and it's perfect.

Also tried some quest controller holders and they are fine at bottom but once it gets to thinner parts it goes all weird.

 

So whats best settings to ensure decent wall strength but without forcing it to cause any problems like this?

So I've seen more of this happening with the 0.6mm nozzle, and it's on layers where there are some thinner sections.

 

Simplest way to fix it is to set it to print external perimeters first.
