Does anyone have a multi material profile for a .25mm nozzle?
I want to try and print some multi color miniatures with a .25mm nozzle and since prusa slicer doesn't yet officially support that I was wondering if anyone has a working profile for this that they wouldn't mind sharing.

Hi Jakob,
did you find a profile yet? I was looking for a 0.25 mmu2 profile myself today and kind of unpleasantly surprised there's no preset included. If I can't find any I'll try to create my own. The size of the purge tower probably has to be increased since it takes more surface area to purge a certain volume with a smaller layer heigth.
The extra time and material for purging the nozzle probably limits the usability of a 0,25 mm nozzle with multi-colored (or multi-material) prints, since I'm planning to use the two colors for writing on labels (the dual color part is only a couple of layers) I could live with that in this application.

No, unfortunately I never found one. After my original post I learned about how much extra time and material would be wasted over using a 0.4 mm nozzle which made it hard to justify for me. But I still think it would be cool just to have the option if I want it. For what I print its just not worth the time and effort needed to try create my own profile. So for the miniatures that I really wanted to be multi color I just called 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.15 layers good enough and for the others I would use the 0.25 mm nozzle and either do color changes at specific layer heights or do single color prints.
Sorry I couldn't be much help but if you do come across a profile I would really appreciate you sharing it with me.

I just took the prusa default setup for a 0.4 nozzle mmu and changed the nozzle size to 0.25. Then copied the speed settings and extrusion widths from the single nozzle 0.25 prusa default settings. I've printed a few test prints and it's been working fine with this setup.
