If a 0.4mm nozzle is 4x the area of a 0.2mm nozzle, should I print 4x faster with a 0.2mm nozzle?
Context - I think I’m having heat creep and printing too slow. (ender 3, pla 210c)

The thing is, you can force plastic through a smaller nozzle. But you end up with a problem called die-swell, where the filament then re-expands after exiting the nozzle. You’ll see this REALLY easily with silk filaments.
