Nozzle size for masks and helmets (self.3dprinting)

submitted 9 months ago by chrischryse to c/3dprinting

Is there a recommended nozzle size for masks and helmets? Like is 0.4mm good, or would something like 0.6mm be better since the print will be big.

OP wasn't asking about layer height, only nozzle diameter.

They're interrelated, and important to talk about together in this context. Sometimes it's more useful to look at what the asker is trying to accomplish than simply answering exactly what was asked.
