What’s the maximum layer height I can achieve on a consumer 3D Printer?

I’m using a bambulab a1 mini more specifically but I’m interested in all answers to that question.

Personally, I think the look of the extrusion can be quite nice if it’s not trying to be hidden – especially with transparent PETG or something similar.

That’s cool. I now found a video of a 3mm nozzle in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO1qNjNkl-E It really has a special look. Unfortunately I don’t think it will be compatible with my printer.

I haven’t gotten around to testing it but I have a tool head pending assembly for this and 3mm, or actually 2.85 filament, that can often be acquired really cheap. Its a generic v6 heatsink, all metal 3mm heat break, triangle ceramic heater unit for volcano nozzle, the cht volcano stub adapter and a 3mm nozzle. I have a 3mm orbiter 1.5 but I’m pretty sold on the papilio lite and will probably end up editing the filament clearance for that in cad. I’ll be testing it with 0.4 and above but it will likely be used for 0.6 or 0.8 if it works. People keep giving me 3mm filament saying “oh I heard you have 3d printers and someone didn’t want this anymore and I thought of you” and hopefully I’ll actually be able to use it.
