highest resolution / nozzle diameter

Post by boep777 » Thu Mar 10, 2016 9:42 pm

what is the smallest nozzle diameter one can use ? I got very happy with 0.25 mm nozzle printing.
can one go lower than that ?

I run a 0.2mm on one of my other printers (not an M2). I only print natural HIPS with it, and I have to go slow (60mm/sec, 0.1mm layers). The results are astonishing though.

The Merlin hotend uses airbrush tips and can go down to 0.1mm, but I don't know what plastic you're running with that. Merlin uses a groovemount and should be compatible with a V3b or E3Dv6 extruder drive.
