    As an example I have Sliced with Cura 3.6.0 Layer Height .32 with a .4mm nozzle PLA Printed at 202C on a 46C hotbed with print speed of 7.8^3mm per second.
    The print was done in under 4 hours if it had been printed with Cura 15.04.6 Layer Height .24 with a .4mm nozzle printed with the same same configuration, this print would have taken almost 8 hours to complete.

    As I plan to celebrate Halloween needed a mask that could hold a PM2.5mm K95 Filter, which is under the Silver grill.

    Now to answer your question.
    I have 3D Printed most layer heights between 0.06mm - 0.32mm for one project or another.
    Depending on your surface needs, time requirements ect... have never had a print fail under any specific layer height vs another...
    Have been 3D Printing over 3 years now using Cura 15.04.6 and only use newer versions of Cura for faster prints.
    As had never configured it to work properly though the more I use and reconfigure the newer versions the better they print.
    Just recently found the configuration that made Cura 3.6.0 and up make near perfect prints at the fastest speeds.
