anything to watch out for with 0.2mm or 0.1mm nozzle?
I see so much info about printing with larger nozzles and such. Not much on smaller. Is there anything I should worry about that I might not be expecting?
You're viewing a single thread.
Be careful printing filaments like glow in the dark, shimmer, marble, galaxy, wood, etc with particles in it since they can clog up the small orifice of the nozzle.
Why did the end of that sentence make me feel uncomfortable?
Please do not be alarmed, we are about to engage the nozzle.
Maybe "small orifice" triggers you like words such as "moist" does with some people?
I'll clog your small orifice of the nozzle with something moist.
mmmmm, moist orifices...
Not sure about Marble and Galaxy, but I would avoid printing the rest with less than 0.4. Most wood filaments recommend 0.6 or above.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 'good' ones have larger wood chips. Cheaper wood infill usually have small bits or dust, which should actually work better at .4 (and don't look/feel as good).
Not sure about that. I would say that in better quality wood filament the particle size is more uniform/consistent.
Subjectively, I think they look better with a bigger nozzle and layer height, and specially of you sand it.
