Anyone out there using this combination? I have seen some incredible prints with it but I usually only print with the volcano so im a bit lost when it comes to the fine detail prints.

Update on this: I tried with lower layer heights and did not see a difference, I then changed nozzles and saw a bit of improvement during the initial print but then the second print it was back full force.

So turns out the crashes had todo with a fourth monitor I connected that couldn't support the same resolution as my other monitors which caused my video card togo a bit wonky. I ended up switching out the monitor to one that could be consistent with the others and reinstalled. All is good! Thanks fo...
