Rough first layer after tool change

Been struggling with this for several days now. I switched to the .4 nozzle and now when the toll changes the first layer is super rough and blobby. You can hear the nozzle going over the blobs. The parked tool head retraction is 12. I was told this would help. Anyone have a clue what is going on?

Thanks in Advance

Best Answer by Acht:

Do you use an v6 Adapter? If so make absolutely sure, that you assembled it correctly in the heater. I once did not tighten it enough. The resulted in a vaguely similar problem.

Also you should check if the Ooze Preventer has right height. Perhaps it is too low so ooze can accumulated while the tool is parked? Maybe the new nozzle screwed in a little differently.

Did you change the slicer to .40 instead of .60?

Yes. I looked at the idle temp of tool 2 and its at 70, so I just bumped it up to 185 and retracted the material to 12 like others have suggested, so I will see how that works.

I'm using the regular .4. I'm going to check to see if it's screwed in far enough on the second tool. Its a strong possibility that might be the problem. 

Thanks for the feedback

Turns out I didn't push the nozzle on head number 2 all the way in so it was causing the filament to be super compressed and caused all types of issues.

Thanks fir the suggestion!
