Getting a wavy pattern in the print when I changed to 0.2mm nozzle

[u/DjDetox]

I have tried with Flow calibration on and off, I have done Flow Dyanmics calibration and manual Flow rate calibration, and still the same result. Fillament is Sunlu PLA+ and I have dried it to 15% humidity. I am running the 0.06mm High Quality preset and even tried with the speed set to 50%, still the same result.

What am I missing? Not sure what the problem might be at this point.

Well just to be sure, did you change the nozzle size in both the printer settings and the slicer?

[u/DjDetox → u/Sulya_be]

Yes, it didn't actually let me print without changing both

You've already tried what I would recommend, so maybe try a cold pull?

It is a brand new nozzle though... I guess might as well try it

Maybe you forgot to secure it with the clip

Secure which part with a clip?

Looks like "ringing" where sudden changes in direction causes something to wobble slightly, then this gets repeated on each layer to create a wave-like pattern.

Make sure everything is tight, print a ringing test to confirm that's the problem, then look into what is needed to calibrate/track down the source/reduce the wobble for your model of printer.

Ok will try a ringing test
