👉🏻 In this video, I compare the print quality of 0.4 vs 0.5 vs 0.6mm size nozzle sizes. 0.5mm nozzles are not that common, but at least in theory, they should be the most universal ones. This size should only slightly reduce the print details and fully eliminate clogging with fiber filaments. But is it true when used in real practice? Well, I suggest watching the video to see the detailed comparison that shows that you shouldn't skip right to the 0.6mm one and try the 0.5mm nozzle.
