Topic: Have you used a .25 mm nozzle?

Most printers usually come with a .4 or .45 mm nozzle size. I was wondering if any of you have tried using a .25 mm nozzle. If you have, what was the print like? Did you experience jamming or any particular problems?

Re: Have you used a .25 mm nozzle?

the first solidoodle come a .35 nozzle... it was nice because of the more fine details you can print, but the speed was a bit lower... and if your filament was not clean, more easy to jam... and it's worst with a smaller nozzle...

I'm wondering if certain filaments are more likely to jam. For example, PLA seems more temperamental than ABS when it comes to its flow.
