Now I’m going to do what I do best: present facts, because anyone can measure this for themselves in his slicer. Here’s a 15-cm-tall Warhammer sculpture as an example:
That doesn’t even take into account the time savings that could be achieved by using a 0.6 infill throughout the entire model.
In 0.2, it would take two days:
Multi-nozzle-size print: 0.6 to 0.4 to 0.2 - Not optimized, but the simplest calculation so that anyone can try it out for themselves in their slicer. Again: That doesn’t even take into account the time savings that could be achieved by using a 0.6 infill throughout the entire model.
I deliberately chose a model that doesn’t sugar-coat my argument; otherwise, I would have picked one with a narrower head. Depending on the model, the time savings could be even greater. However, I also don’t want to give critics ammunition to claim that I’m cherry-picking.
Here’s the test setup to try this - it doesn’t have to be perfect to understand the point:
