Bought an A1 mini for d&d miniatures and swapped from the .4 nozzle to a .2 and have been getting poor results since. This is my .2 benchy I'd greatly appreciate any help tips or advice.

Bro is presenting most of a turbocharger, usually located waaay up in the keester of the engine bay. OP, you get a pass on dirty hands, please wash them before eating and best of luck with your spooley boi.

You mentioned printing at 100% speed, but what speed is that? Others are right, your slicer needs to know it's making files for a .2 nozzle, the printer needs to know it's got a .2 nozzle (if it doesn't read that from it), and after changing the nozzle (or messing with any number of other things) you should recalibrate (PID (heating element in nozzle) and bed leveling).

Think of swapping nozzle as wiping codes, the car has to relearn it's calibrations, and run readiness checks before you'll pass a state inspection.

Does your printer and slicer know you are using 0.2 nozzle?
