What Prusa slicer settings do you use when runnig Octolapse?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has some Prusa Slicer settings to share when they run Octolapse. I keep getting huge blobs when the nozzle return after a pic. I have tried reducing temperature and extrusion multiplier, but haven't done enough trial and error tests to get the desired result. Also maybe something else needs to be adjusted, like longer retractions?

It is on MK3S

You need to match your retraction settings in PrusaSlicer exactly in the Octolapse settings. There are several YouTube videos on the process.

They are, however, to achieve decent results you need to adjust slicer settings when you print with octolapse, contra without.

Consider using the octolapse 0.4 RC. It doesn't require changing any slicer settings besides enabling "Verbose gcode" in the output. It also has a lot more options, including 'snap-to-print' centering which allows you to make timelapses on vase mode prints.
