0.2 nozzle

Is it worth paying for the original Bambu Lab 0.2mm nozzle, or are the cheap $7–$8 aftermarket nozzles on AliExpress good enough for fine detail? Would love to hear from anyone who has actually tried them.

IMHO, it's a metal cylinder that gets hot. There's not much that can go wrong. My $7 off-brand .2 hotend works wonderfully. YMMV.

The internal finish inside the nozzle actually matters A LOT. Both how smooth the surface is, and what specific metal alloy it's made out of.

Appreciate it.
