    Did You adjust the 'Z' offset in the slicer or just the 'Z' height when setting the initial nozzle difference?

    I should have made that clearer in my answer :o, now rectified.

    The line is called a 'Z' seam, it happens where one layer ends and the next one starts.
    There are settings in the slicer as to where you want it positioned.

    I think all this AI generated stuff is rapidly leading to a place where it will be impossible to distinguish between fact and fiction.
    In your instance it is probably a good tool.

    That means your 'e' steps are right.

    Did you print a few squares to check the bed level?

    Can you go into your slicer settings and increase the 'Z' offset by either plus or minus 0.02 mm and redo the print and see what changes?

    I'm...

    It's the 'Z' offset that needs adjusting not the 'Z' height.

    Have a look on Youtube for videos on adjusting it.

    You can adjust the "z" offset in Prusaslicer.

    Suggestion........

    Print perhaps 6-9 random 50mm x 50mm squares just 0.2mm thick on your bed.

    This should show you how level your bed is and also if you need to adjust the 'Z' offset.

    I...

    Suggestion........

    Print some random one layer thick 50mm squares at 0.2mm layer height. Examine the result.

    Then increase or decrease the 'Z' offset in 0.01mm incriments at a time and check...

    You can cut a piece of new teflon tube, make sure the cut is at 90 degrees at the end and a snug fit against the nozzle.

    Does the extruder have a teflon tube between the exruder and the nozzle?

    If it does is there any sign of degradation? Also check that the end is cut square and fits snugly up to the nozzle.

    just suggestions.....

    Check extruder teeth are clean and not filled with filament.
    Do a cold pull to clear the nozzle of any old filament.
    Replace nozze.

    Just my take on the problem......

    Does the new hotend have a thermal break in it or does the teflon tube actually contact the nozzle?
    If the latter is the case, printing at 250 will more than...
