This video series shows my experience with a 0.2mm nozzle and a glass print bed to print Star Wars credits for my Etsy store that have fine detailed lettering on both sides.

Part 1 covers:
1) Comparing the 0.2mm nozzle to the 0.4mm nozzle I typically use.
2) Installing the nozzle in the printer.

Part 2 covers:
1) Testing the nozzle with the standard FlashForge print surface.
2) Trying a glass surface.

Part 3a covers:
1) What I learned after a month of printing on glass with a 0.2mm nozzle - Part A

Part 3b covers:
1) What I learned after a month of printing on glass with a 0.2mm nozzle - Part B
