You may be heavily underextruding on your 0.2mm setting, if it works at 0.1mm. Since the printer depends on extruding the right amount of material to build up to the nozzle tip, if you underextrude it won’t build up high enough, and that 4th or 5th layer won’t be close enough to the nozzle for the new plastic to be pressed down into it.

Bump up those extrusion rates and make sure your nozzle and extruder motor are all clean and not slipping.

That’s a good point - I remember calibrating the extrusion multiplier for 0.1mm but not for 0.2mm, never thought that larger layer sizes would need independent calibrations!

  Yeah, extruder scaling is not perfectly linear, as you scale it faster the plastic slips more on the drive rolls, the heat input increase means the melt rate will not be perfect, and you have to fight the viscosity of liquid plastic.

    Brilliant, thanks for the insight! Hopefully orcaslicer has a multiplier for each layer height - not just per filament

    I’d assume it does. If it doesn’t you can always duplicate your filaments and just rename them to each layer height they’re calibrated for.
