If a 0.4mm nozzle is 4x the area of a 0.2mm nozzle, should I print 4x faster with a 0.2mm nozzle?

Context - I think I’m having heat creep and printing too slow. (ender 3, pla 210c)

    Yeah that makes sense.

    I guess I’ve avoided that since I printed and made a thing that wipes the filament as it goes into the printer, I suppose.

      Those are surprisingly effective to be quite honest. You never know what kinds of systems people have though, so you gotta kinda cover it all.

      They really need to stop selling Ender 3s, 3 pro, 3 v2, and other ‘prior generation’ Enders. The 3v3 is the one to get now, and doesn’t have near the learning curve of the old ones.
