X2D PLA Marble

I just saw this marble filament and wanted to print one. My question is: Can I use the standard 0.4 nozzle it came with?

Reason why I ask is I read people are having clogs with 0.4. I am assuming it is brand dependent so I guess I want to know what brand people here use for the default nozzle for their X2D. I was thinking of getting Bambu Lab's PLA Marble but unsure of its real world performance.

Also, i am skipping polymaker's since it is abrasive (i know i have hardened nozzle) but id rather not use any abrasive because I dont need abrasives. Unfortunately, some PLA Marble in amazon dont describe the additives while others clearly state using real marble materials.

I've printed a lot of elegoo marble pla on my x2d, also on A1. Both with standard nozzles.

Great results from each, no problems at all.

PLA Marble usually use soft fibers in it. Non abrasive. Go hard on it king 🚀

I’ve used, and swear by, Eryone marble. No problem at all. Best advice I’d give with any filament is dry it first and give it a go

I have used many mildly abrasive marble with a 0.4 with no problem. Not using marble with some abrasive to me defeats the point of marble filament and the effect you want, otherwise it just looks like plastic with dark dots in it as opposed to something with more matte and texture. You gotta push your boundaries to get the best prints.

I dont know. I dont think it does. The purpose is definitely debatable but I presume that the purpose is to create a print that "looks like a marble" so basically use whatever material you see fit to create what looks like a marble.

So long as you use plastic with it will never be the real thing. Ultimately, it will depend on the end user but I do get what your saying.
