Polymaker PLA, 0.15mm nozzle, 0.05mm layer height. Printer is a modified Prusa MK3.5 using a Mosquito hotend. When I bought the printer I bought a nozzle pack ("E3D Pro Pack"). One of the nozzles it came with was an "experimental" brass 0.15mm. That was 5 years ago. I had never tried it. "A geared extruder is required!" said the documentation. My Prusa... yeah, it's not geared down, they used a monster motor and the Bondtech dual-drive setup instead. Anyway. Finally tried it, after I got the printer to do a whole pile of other things that seemed near-impossible successfully. And, yeah. The warning? Wrong. Looks great.
Prusa-labelled printer, in operation. there is a partial print of a brown mushroom with gray and black accents on the bed. The Prusa serial plate says MK3.5. But it’s heavily modified. I don’t know what it is, but definitely it’s not a Prusa MK3.5.
