The melt filter has 0.25mm openings, so you should be good to go once you're melt filtering unless you're using a nozzle 0.25mm or smaller to print with.

Small particles can be from a number of things - usually they are below 500 microns in diameter and will pass through large printing nozzles. A melt filter is recommended for use with printers having nozzles 0.5mm or smaller in diameter.

Primary source is barrel wear - even industrial extruders have barrel wear and consequently melt filters. Its where the idea came from.

I am still getting small particles. What is the longest time that someone has done a purge? I will be buying a nozzle with an integrated filter but was just wondering everyone else average purge.
