    Combination of line width, layer height and speed is what limits your hottend, not the nozzle size

    Larger nozzles do kick ass. I personally use my 0.6 nozzles pretty heavily. As others have mentioned though, there are definitely scenarios where you’ll really want or even need to drop to a smaller size. My printer hates trying to print PETG at higher sizes for example, maybe my hot end isn’t powerful enough.

    I printed some tiny but detailed board game pieces recently, I don’t think I’d get the detail I wanted with a 0.8. I also have Revo installed so I’m okay with swapping nozzles frequently.

      For years now, I’ve always want to see someone try a dual nozzle setup. Same material, same filament, but two nozzles sizes.

      Small nozzle for outer perimeter at a low layer height.

      Large nozzle for inner perimeter and infill at higher layer heights.

      Maybe in the future, someone will find a way to control nozzle size dynamically.
