Weird Prusament PA11 specific Start G-code in default MK3s profiles
The default profiles for 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 have this weird Start G-code:
{if filament_settings_id[initial_tool]=~/.*Prusament PA11.*/}
G1 Z0.3 F720
G1 Y-3 F1000 ; go outside print area
G92 E0
G1 X60 E9 F1000 ; intro line
G1 X100 E9 F1000 ; intro line
{else}
G1 Z0.2 F720
G1 Y-3 F1000 ; go outside print area
G92 E0
G1 X60 E9 F1000 ; intro line
G1 X100 E12.5 F1000 ; intro line
{endif}
This code is not present in the 0.25mm preset. What is so special about Prusament PA11 that it needs a different intro line, and why doesn't it need that extra code with a 0.25 nozzle?
Best Answer by BaconFase:
I'm suggesting its printed .1mm higher because most don't use gluestick on the prime line and a higher height would have lower adhesion.
I used to use gluestick in the prime area on my MK3 back when Prusa only had smooth plates and I wanted to print PETG.

If I translated correctly: 0.1mm higher initial prime line at the start of a print when printing PA11.
Since Prusa suggests using glue stick for their PA11, I'd guess the extra height is so the initial prime line is a little easier to detach from the plate.
0.3mm is too high for a .25mm nozzle.

Why would someone use the gluestick on the prime line?

Ok, that makes a lot more sense!
FYI, I use kapton tape for the prime line.
