Any update on the M300 Julia? I find it odd they limited the M300 to HIPS, Glass and Petg

Yeah it looked great before. This is the test file that comes on the SD Card

It was the first filament I ran through it. So both the nozzle and Hot End were new. I didn't see the insulator kit when I purchased the HE and to buy it after costs more to ship than the item itself.

I have an insulator kit, never used it.

What Z-Temp offset and Z-Suite filament did you use?
And if it was zero offset (Z-Temp) and Z-ULTRAT profile (Z-Suite), did this spool print o.k. before on original hotend with same Z-Code?

Definitely no, I print original Z-Filaments also (Z-ABS right now).

I tried Ultrat and it comes out like Garbage.

What filament did you print before, how much filament did you purge if it was low temp filament?
Easiest check would be to swap the nozzle (use a new one).

Subtle? did you look at my included picture?

It certainly doesn't make it "unable" to print Z materials, but there may be subtle differences in surface finish or stringing due to ZT-HE's lower friction and slightly different melt chamber. I don't use Z materials much at all, and gave up UltraT long before ZT-HE existed. I have been printing a fair amount of Up ABS lately, which is very similar to Z-ABS. I usually print it at 260º and it's working fine for me.
