Generic PLA with 0.6mm Nozzle on the XL appears to have temperatures too low for input shaper?


I have been having to manually turn up the temperature in the middle of prints whenever I use a 0.6 nozzle on the XL. I typically use the generic PLA filament profile with polymaker polylite PLA, and it works as intended on other prusa input shaper printers including the XL with a 0.4 nozzle.

I am aware that the generic PLA profile is supposed to be a baseline, but I think 205°C is too low for the increased speed and flow of input shaper with all PLA filaments that I use that don't have specific profiles. They all seem to work with a standard 0.4mm nozzle without issues like this using the generic PLA filament profile.

Is the lower nozzle temperatures just an oversight or as intended for a 0.6 nozzle with input shaper? I think these temperatures would work for the legacy XL 0.6mm nozzle, but not the input shaper profile.

Possibly not a bug and there is just something I'm not understanding?

Sorry for replying so late; with higher diameters, lower temperatures are needed. I am able to nicely print my pla in input shaper at those temperatures, though if I am going extra-fast, I increase temp by 5-10 degrees.
