Multi color prints have gaps between colors.

Hello, I recently purchased the 5 head XL. This is my first multihead printer so I have been printing some stuff for my kids as I try to learn how to operate this thing. I am currently having an issue with the different colors having gaps between them. All of the materials are pla and I am using prusaslicer. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

RE: Multi color prints have gaps between colors.

I've had similar issues but only back in the old firmware alpha's where Prusa was introducing phase stepping. My workaround/bandaid was turning off Phase Stepping. The issue was basically fixed/disappeared in the newer firmwares.

So my first suggestion would be to update your XL firmware to the newest 6.2.0 then do a full recalibration.
