any news here about attaching smaller nozzle ? Anyone?
I've heard of people using 0.35mm but nothing smaller. There'd be lots of bowden tubes a poppin' I should imagine?

AFAIK, the UM standard nozzle is 0.35mm. you can check it by extruding some filament into mid air and measuring the string that comes out of the nozzle. (my makergear nozzle is nominal 0.5mm, but 0.56 in reality).
using a smaller nozzle works just fine, you just have to change your expectation how many mm^3/sec you can squeeze through the small hole (which involves just going slower), other than that, it's no problem.
really? Cura is defaulting to 0.4mm nozzle size - so I've been assuming that's what I had!

Says an 0.4mm nozzle. But it could be slightly smaller I guess. Maybe they mean "a nozzle that prints 0.4mm lines optimal"
extruding in air will stretch material a little bit because of gravity , and after that you have shrinkage when cooling , thats total maybe max 3-5% my guess

Makergear has some.

I bought some, but I haven't tried them yet. Should be pretty straight forward to set up in Cura, or if you use NetFabb, use the material editor.
