lane connection insufficient on Mini+ with slicer-version 2.8.1
Hi!
On my Prusa Mini+ (2022, Firmware is 6.1.2) all new created bgcodes (now binary) made with Prusa Slicer 2.8.1 (under Windows 11, 2024) produce the same flaw during printing: on corners and any other place with sharp direction change there is a lack of material flow (image 1, part dimension is 23 x 36 mm). Due to this lack in material flow (or wrong moving speed?) the printed lane does not connect to the ground and forms a string instead which cuts the corner. In consequence the infill (100%, 2nd of four layers to form the bottom of a small box) also fails to get connection to the outline (img 2) as there the change of direction is even higher. I already reduced all speed settings by appr. 30% which changed nothing.
Prints with old gcode files from identical stl, made with Prusa Slicer 2.6, go well.
What can i do to get the new slicer version make (b)gcode suitable for my printer?
hoping for hints

Hint number 1, it has NOTHING to do with the files now being in bgcode format. You can easily switch back to saving non bgcode in PS.
It is most likely related to this issue https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/11914 please have a read (yes its long). unfortunately there is no single 'fix' from what I can tell as it may be a combination of issues.

Hi!
And thanks for the fast reaction.
I didn't really suspect the new format to be an issue, rather took it as an improvement regarding data transfer, as it is explained. But you never know, so i didn't want to miss any detail. Fine to know we can tick this one out!
Telling by the images the linked thread seems to be is exactly what i was looking for, thank you for this also. I love comprehensive information and will have an intense look on it.
I will report later, what i could achieve then.
