    Just changed the nozzle from 0.4 stock to a copper 0.25 one.
    Actual measured extruded is 0.26 !

    here's a diagram to illustrate how much smaller it is. The big circle is 0.4 and the cutout is 0.25:

    Currently having a go at a half size chinese balls model I did. So far haven't managed to print the full size one, so this will be interesting.

    currently looks like this:


    Given that I've totally guessed the settings - not looking too bad.
    If this works, I'll go down to half the size again.
    well I'll do that anyway :-)
    Actually the next one will be a mere 10mm with three shells. That will be interesting - looks good in the slicer :-)
    The current one is 33mm

    I actually also have a stainless steel nozzle at 0.15. But that's probably a 10th of a mm too far.
    I'm currently using crap 6 year old esun filament. So that's not ideal. Once I've got it working really well with that I'll try it with some decent filament :-)

    I dropped the retraction speed and distance and other than telling it the new nozzle size and measured width - haven't changed anything else.
