I prefer ABS for acetone wash - gives a nice, smooth result. That said, I did have good luck with my first mini printed in PLA, so I might give that a shot. One good advantage to PLA - since it doesn't react with acetone at all, it'd be a simple matter to use ABS supports and a PLA print. I haven't ...

Thank you for the guidance, trying 1200 now.

I think what I'm trying to figure out all the different settings that would affect smaller-scale printing. With the 0.4mm nozzle I have largely used the defaults for everything and been thrilled with the results. It's all a learning curve.
