Thermal ruaway when changing nozzle
The reason why there is a thermal runaway problem when changing nozzles is clear - introducing cold tools/ nozzle to a hot block will cause a sudden drop in temperature. But it's frustrating and didn't happen prior to release 2.6.0 - at least not to me. Can something be tweaked so that thermal runaway when NOT printing has a greater tolerance than during printing?

It has nothing to do with the slicer. Is has everything to do with the printer firmware.
RE: Thermal ruaway when changing nozzle
Downgrade the firmware is about the only option.
RE: Thermal ruaway when changing nozzle
btw theres an open request for a firmware change for this https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/4189
RE:
You can also use the new option in the hardware menu for nozzle changes. It disables the TM during a nozzle swap.
edit: Hardware menu on the LCD screen.

RE: Thermal ruaway when changing nozzle
Thanks fuchsr. I'm not running any of the new firmware on mine. Given all the troubles its gone through and that I don't need any of the new stuff I just couldn't see a reason to install something so buggy. I'm sticking with what works. I'm glad you are keeping up with it and testing it for us though 🙂
RE: Thermal ruaway when changing nozzle
This new thermal model has been a bizarre experience. No issues on Mk4 and XL, so far. On my minis, both having dragon hotends and TC nozzles, one is fine, the other I can't start without getting a TM error but if I preheat to 180 and then load filament it'll print with no issues until I shut it down, regardless of how often I let it cool down and heat up again. My MK3s both are fine, despite having Dragon hotends and TC nozzles.
From all the problem reports, I don't know, something just feels fundamentally broken with their thermal model implementation. While I applaud their effort to add more safety features, how many Prusas have gone up in flames? But clearly a lot of of perfectly fine working printers have become unusable (or require downgrading the firmware).
