Outer perimeter gaps when using a 0.8 nozzle

Howdy!
I haven't found any kind of solutions in the troubleshooting guide, thus I have a small question.
The default template for the builder extreme 1500 pro was used. My printer has 0,8 mm nuzzle. If I change the nozzle diameter in the template from 0,4 to 0,8, I get gaps in the preimeter lines (picture is attached).
Is it possible to solve this problem?

Thanks for any advice

Purely as an exercise for the purposes of illustrating why there is no issue, try unticking Coast at End on the Extruder tab of your settings. Then take another look at the simulation.

Now the explanation...S3D shows a simulated extrusion whenever the nozzle is extruding. Where the nozzle is not extruding....and in this case during coasting, it shows no extrusion.

The clue is the word "SIMULATION". Its not the actual print. And S3d is trying to be helpful by showing the "gap" when its coasting the nozzle.

And don't forget to reset the Coast at End before you print.....
