0.4mm nozzles just became obsolete (Page 1/1)

Are you still using a 0.4mm nozzle? You probably shouldn’t be! (according to THIS guy)

I went 0.6 for most stuff quite a while ago. I seldom do anything with real detail anyway (DnD gaming pieces ect) so it works out. I've even ventured into 0.8 territory a fair bit.

JUST....

Dont forget to change nozzle size in Cura.....and dont ask how I know. multiple-multiple times.

Actually, that screw-up has become pretty routine now.

i threw away the .4 nozzle years ago. I run .6 due to speed and thicker structure on one. I also have a printer i run 1.0 volcano nozzle and i do my skeleton with it. 3 walls thick with infill.

Just did two test prints with a 0.6mm nozzle (and PrusaSlicer 2.5.0 with Arachne). Print quality is terrible.

Here is the same print with a .6mm nozzle (which I interrupted because of the terrible quality) and a .4mm Nozzle. The 0.6mm is in front.

PETG ?

I always get stringing with that stuff no matter what I do. Heat gun and scrape with a utility blade fixes it quick

Yes, PETG. But it's not only stringing, it's also... whatever this is:

looks like a touch too cold. Maybe babystep the z .1 or so. Stuff is tricky, even ambient room temperature can screw with it. I notice a huge difference if I print it with the shop-room door open or closed and same settings otherwise.

My first picture above shows the same item printed with 0.6mm and 0.4mm, right after each other with the same PETG (and same room temperature, and nozzle temperature). The 0.4mm nozzle print is near perfect. The 0.6mm nozzle print... not so much.

you might want to dry your petg it looks a little wet.
