Topic: Is a .1mm print any stronger than a .3mm print?

I've been printing most of my prints recently at .1mm and having decent results (except for some bad stl files).  However I am going to be printing some parts for a Rostock style printer and I was wondering if I should print at .3 instead.

Re: Is a .1mm print any stronger than a .3mm print?

They are probably stronger but since most repraps parts are printed at .3mm I'm sure you'd be fine to print at .3mm.  You would definitely cut your printing time down.  I only print at .1 when I'm worried about surface finish or trying to print fine details.  Otherwise I default to .3
