This was very confusing in the old cura because you could say nozzle size was .4 but if you asked for a shell of .5mm then ALL line widths were printed .5mm wide as though you had a .5mm nozzle and people would get massive underextrusion and they didn't realize it was because they had the wrong shell width. If you asked for a shell of .9 in the old cura with a .4 nozzle you got two passes of .45mm line width each. And all the infill was also .45mm line width even though infill shouldn't be affected by shell width.
So this implies that the machine can print a wider (or narrower) line width than the actual nozzle diameter right? How would this actually work though? By increasing/decreasing the flow rate? And what are the the maximum and minimum percentages that Cura will try to achieve? (eg. Line width = 50-150% Nozzle diameter). Lastly, optimum quality is achieved when Line width = Nozzle diameter right?
