Recently I tested a black ABS print against the summer heat. Left the pieces out in 94 deg F weather on asphalt for about 20 minutes. Surface temperature reached 141 deg F with no signs of softening or warping.
I have some "black bird" designs planned after validating this, and I already started on the first one. Should have something to show in the next week or 2

Here is something I found out from others and tested out myself.
If you have a 0.4mm nozzle, you can use that nozzle as a "0.3" or "0.25"mm nozzle by altering the settings in the slicer. Obviously, the prints may turn out a better quality with the actual 0.3 or 0.25 nozzles, but this is an easy way to try out finer printing. You just need to make sure to bump down the layer height to 0.15mm for 0.3mm nozzle settings, and 0.1mm for 0.25mm nozzle settings.
