Well this one has me a bit stumped.
I know with larger nozzles, you need capable heaters and an increase in temp
I have two machines that print marvelously with 0.4 nozzles. E3D Hemera on one machine , Slice on the other.
When I installed the 0.8 nozzle on each, I made nominal changes to the slicer settings, first layer 220C and 215 for the rest.
I am suspicious of my material, so that's in the dryer now.
But what is happening is that the first layer doesn't stick or curls up. I know my bed surface is good, as is my z offset. Layer height is 0.2

Re: Printing with 0.8 nozzles
So I have answered my own question
A good (thick) first layer, like 2/3 the nozzle diameter helped a lot. A little babystepping too

Do you think the bed needs heating?

Re: Printing with 0.8 nozzles
I always run the bed at 60C or PLA
