Can I print PVB with a 0.4mm nozzle?
Prusa recommends printing PVB with a 0.8mm nozzle in vase mode, but what if I want to print a figurine like the one they show in their blog post about PVB? Can I use a 0.4mm nozzle for printing figurines out of PVB? Thanks.

Sure. It doesn't include any particles.
You need bigger nozzles for filled materials (like carbon filled, wood filled, metal filled) to not clog up your nozzle.
PVB is printing similar to PLA. You could even use a 0.2mm nozzle with small layer heights.

I think the reason they recommend the 0.8 nozzle is so that the print can be smoothed without collapsing.
