                  Pressure Advance aims to improve the quality of printed parts by compensating for the pressure changes in the nozzle during printing. 

                  It replaces Linear Advance on MK4/S, MK3.9/S, XL, and MINI/+, from firmware version 5.0.0 and above. 

                  It is possible to find Linear Advance commands, M900, even on printers that support Pressure Advance. In that case, old M900 K commands are automatically converted 1:1 to Pressure Advance value.

                  The Pressure Advance value is set based on the latest command, either M900 (converted 1:1 to Pressure Advance value) or M572. 

                  M572 GCode

                  The Buddy-firmware-specific GCode M572 is used to set parameters for Pressure Advance. 

                  • D: Set the extruder number.
                  • S<value>: Set the pressure advance value. If zero the pressure advance is disabled.
                  • W: Set a time range in seconds used for calculating the average extruder velocity for pressure advance. The default value is 0.04. 

                  PrusaSlicer default start GCode

                  The default start GCode includes an M572 command that sets Pressure Advance parameters. The example screenshot below is taken from the start GCode of an MK4/S print. 

                  In this example, the S parameter changes, depending on the nozzle diameter. 

                  We recommend keeping the default S parameter, optimized for most applications on our printers.

                  This should be normal setting. Not a code editing thing. There is not profile for every filament in Prusa printers

                  Hmm, OK. So, If I choose to optimise a particular filament using a specific nozzle, I observe this code covers a range of nozzles. How do I handle this. ? Just change the one I calibrated ?

                  I think yes. Go to "Filaments", Go to "Custom G-code" and change the number after the nozzle diameter that corresponds to your machine to your desired pressure advance value.

                  Not the M900 command. You want the M572.

                  Does the slicer fall back to the printers CFG file if pressure advance is not specified in the g-code?

                  Are there any other ways to set the PA value outside of start/filament GCode?
                  Ideally I would like to adjust it live during the print. But at least to be able to change the PA for reprinting previously sliced files. Like, remove all PA settings from the GCode, but set it manually on the printer, or via PrusaConnect.

                  Orcaslicer has an "adaptive pressure advance" feature which allows you to compensate for the different pressure advance values seen at different flow rates and acceleration values.
