You can’t make a 0.60 layer height with a 0.4 nozzle, but you can with the 0.8 nozzle. Speed is a function of nozzle size, because you can’t push 200mm/s worth of plastic through a 0.1 nozzle. Pushing too much mass through a small nozzle creates uncontrollable back pressure. With a large back pressure, your ability to control flow rate and die swell because too much.
